(edit: I just noticed you don't have seperate stub shaft and axles like the SLK32... Odd)
- the 300 may have the same tranny, but the rear is different (think it shares the older E55 Benz). I'd imagine the TCU is flashed for that gearing. Also, i believe it is 2" wider, & longer so your stock axles/drive shaft won't work.
- what was the code you got with the 3.27? I still may try mine to try and get it to work...
I'm thinking it's time to call Quaiffe and tell them we have enough interest for a real LSD...

Re: what rear end?
I've e-mailed both Quaife and Wavetrac. I told them I'm willing to send them my diff carrier assy if they need one to get the measurements from. I'll keep you all posted on what I find out. I'd really like to go with a 'real' LSD if at all possible. If not, Phantom Grip it is...
