KLEEMANN Tuning LSD for Mercedes SL 65





AMG has made a Salisbury type limited slip differential available as standard in the new Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG. This type of differential uses clutch plates and pressure rings to distribute power mechanically to the rear wheels based on individual wheel slip. As one wheel spins and the other does not, the planetary gears axles force out the pressure rings and clamp down on "wet" clutch disks, which effectively lock the differential. The pressure rings determine percentage of total lock, as well as the slip required to engage the limited slip differential.



KLEEMANN Tuning has designed a special modification to this rear axle to provide quicker lock up of the differential and a higher degree of clamping pressure. This modification is essential for tuned Bi-Turbos and ensures that a dramatic reduction in acceleration times can be realized. Car driving dynamics are also greatly improved, as the differential is able to cope with enormous amounts of power without invoking ESP intervention.
