poor traction

I recently bought a 93 190E 2.6 - never owned a Mercedes before-nice ride! However, we have a difficult driveway. Steep and graveled. Poor traction - about 200 lbs of rock in the trunk helps. It seems that a limited slip differential would make a lot of difference. Is it possible to get one for this model? How much $ ?

All the 16 valve W201's had "LSD" which Mercedes calls "ASD" so if you can find a wrecked 16 valve, there's your ticket.

I had a 5 spd 190E 2.6. You think going up your driveway is bad. Wait til this winter . Wieght in the back does help alot. I got around ok with 200lb in back as well.
