WTB Differential for my 1995 E320
I want to buy a LSD for my 1995 E320. I'm tired of the one wheel wonder. I have cash ready. Also if you have any info that would also be appreciated. I know that if I try to put a different differential in there it will mess up the speedo calibration and that's fine. I can get it re-calibrated. Anyways let me know, thanks in advance.

someone said I can just buy a carrier straight from the dealership and put it in the rear end. So i'm just gonna do that, I thought of just welding it, but I don't think I want to go down that road

I have been looking into the Quaife unit. They made a unit for the old 450slc.
I got on the epc and found that that unit is the same as the late model large carrier in the w124. 400e 500e and the big diff on the e320. I got the diagram from quaife and did some measurements and it seems to be the same.
I was going to have a machine shop take some real measurements and then go further. It is priced a little higher than the lsd from mercedes but not a clutch unit. The unit for the 350 sd w140 chassis is the one that seems to be a correct fit.

The stock setup handles a great deal of power and in my experience provides ample traction to both wheels under acceleration.
Your car looks like it is rather low...possibly your current suspension geometry is causing a lack of traction

I'm curious as to why you feel you need a limited slip differential

Seriously? Your 300e is twin turbo and you don't have an LSD and roast the crap out of your tires?????? haha dang well like you said, to each his own
I've been looking into this also, for the purpose of ending the one tire fire, and helping me get sideways
what does ASD stand for?

ASD you find on many Merc w124 and w201.
It stands for Automatic Slip Differential.
It's nearly the same as the original LSD to mercedes w201 2.3 16v, made years between 85 and 87 .
the differance is that ASD works with oil pressure, it uses the same oilpressure that is for rear self levelling suspension that you can find on 124 Estate.
but because the oilpressure has it's limit the ASD is allso weaker.
y don't get in near the same lockup like in an LSD.
The thing is to make the ASD mechanical like the LSD is.
I don't know how but i know a few people who have done this.

Lose traction and both will smoke, but never gets sideways...
