No. They are two seperate systems. LSD is mechanical, completely contained in the diff. housing. The traction control uses a throttle plate to stop air flow to the engine, thus controlling engine power, and it also uses the brakes to control wheel spin.

Will I have to disconnect the traction control?
No, they can coexist together. In fact, they work better together. I've had both setups and I prefer TC and LSD.

How would I go about readjusting the speedometer?
Not sure about this one. NickG can probably fix it in the ECU, but that'll be pricey. Eric (Cali-ti) on this forum has a 3.73, send him a private message.
