2004 E55
FS: Kleemann LSD
I'm selling my used Kleemann LSD. I had it in my 2004 E55 for about 10,000 miles. New, these unit cost $2300.00. I'm asking $1300.00 OBO plus shipping and will include a machined set of E55 pinion gears and installation instructions. This is Kleemann's link for pictures and description: http://www.kleemann.dk/site/Main/accessories/lsd
Here is Kleemann's description:
KLEEMANN Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
Better grip - Faster acceleration
The KLEEMANN Limited Slip Differential is available for all Mercedes-Benz models fitted with a "large housing" differential case. This means all models with V8-, V12-engine.
V8 & V12 Mercedes-Benz models
Overflow of engine power is no good if it cannot be transferred into wheel traction. Therefore, KLEEMANN has developed a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) with a 60 percent locking mechanism, which means that the mechanical devise applies a 60 percent lock-up ratio between the two drive wheels. In contrast to a standard ESP-system a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is a very sporty and high-performance approach to control wheel spin thereby improving the car's traction.
At no time will only one wheel receive all the engine's power, and by powering both drive wheels at the same time, the engine acceleration power is distributed more evenly, hence reducing wheel spin and in the end lowering acceleration times significantly.
Using the KLEEMANN Limited Slip Differential (LSD) gives an immediate result. Testing has shown that a Mercedes-Benz 55 AMG will drop as much as 0.3 second to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) with this modification alone!
