HELP !!!!! Need info on Quaife LSD install .......
Have 2003 C32 and ordered a Quaife assuming all would go well. Found out it had the older, 2002, style diff. with the clip-in half-shafts. After extensive research I found:
Some are installed without using a clip.
Some used a different clip from GM if I recall correctly.
I also understood you could "upgrade" the diff. with the correct half-shafts.
Installing without clips may lead to fluid leakage. I will not install with without clips.
Questions:
Can I use a different clip, GM perhaps, and who makes it and what is the part number?
I would prefer to upgrade to the newer half-shafts. What MB parts would I need to do this?
Are there any other solutions for this problem?
Since AMG parts are hard to find is the diff. assembly the same as a C320?
Car is currently sitting on a lift and I would like to resolve this issue ASAP. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I see that you did not take the car to Harry. 
I'm running without the clip and do not have any leaks. Let's hope it stays that way. Sorry, can't help you with part numbers.

Guys at the transmission shop I took it to have many years of experience doing this kind of work.
