LSD or not to LSD

For those how have it, what is your recomendation? Is it worth and did you see a difference?

I have a cls 55 with K2 being installed and I am considering the lsd, trying to make a decision.

LSD is a must. It helps quite a bit on launches and what not. I love my AMG LSD.

Red face About the inclusion of LSD in the 030 package

I am making this post with some trepedation, but earlier this week I did speak with the "horse" who actually knows; the words from his mouth were very specific -- the 030 package in the CLS55 does not have LSD. The reason for this is that the CLS 55 incorporates a revision to the 5-speed transmission which, unfortunately, has rendered this transmission incapable of handling LSD. The SL 55 does have LSD, but only because that model has an older version of the 5-speed transmission.

My dealer and sources tell me the CLS 55 w/ 030 does have an LSD. Even the reps at MBUSA have verified this information.

Jmeyers,

Did the person you spoke with tell you what exactly is this transmission revision? If not, would it be possible for you to see if you can find out?

I can't imagine any reason whatsoever what the transmission has to do with having LSD. My super slow '86 Corolla has no problem "handling" an LSD, why wouldn't a state-of-the-art super sedan be the same? Sorry, but I have to call
