    So like the title says did all the DCLB 08 Sports come with the Mechanical LSD? I have a hunch that may be able to get me back on the road sooner. just can't seem to find that info.

    do take into account though, that age of rear diff just under standard use... the LSD is probably no longer existant and the clutch packs will need to be rebuilt.

    Depends on the use I think. Mine is still functioning just fine on my 05 with 150k on it. My BMW has a clutch-type limited slip and I'm currently rebuilding the diff in it. Just doing bearings, the limited slip works fine. It has 250k on it.

    it might still work but its likely no where near the lsd force that it should be new. Unfortunately the clutches slip and wear under normal driving.
