If you just want to disable the system, you can just pull the fuse for it. It will default into regular brake system operation. It wont mess with your trans. They are thinking accellerated slip regulation, which still doesnt really have anything to do with the trans itelf, but probably what they were thinking of. If you want to remove the entire system you can do that as well, but will have to route some new brake lines. Try driving with just the fuse out first to see if you really want to do away with it. I used to hate ABS before I got my Camaro, it has actually saved my a$$ a few times in this car. Having said that,

*** I take no responsibility if you slide into somebody after disabling your ABS or wreck your car in any other way!!!***


Use your own judgement, if your not used to a non ABS car then find somewhere to drive that thing where you cant hurt yourself, somebody else, or your car, and get used to how it will drive/stop.

Now, having said that, if you know what your doing and HAVE driven cars without abs and know how to actually drive a car *think 60s-70s model boats with no power steering/brakes* than I mean no disrespect with the warning of how different it is, etc. Good luck and have fun.

Are you wanting to delete the unit itself or just disable it?

You can get all the parts required for an ABS delete, including the proportioning valve, line lock solenoid and pre-formed lines:
