I have a 4-matic picture of the system mated to a 603, from MBZ.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I asked my mechanic once
about the 4Matic (he had a TD with 4Matic for sale, don't remember

Yes indeedy. Wonder which item is there to provide the front/rear
slip? It wasn't completely obvious to me, but no doubt it has to
be there.

If I understand it correctly, the transfer of power to the front wheels is

Does anybody know of another resource the accurately explains the
