Torsen-differential
for Alfa's M32 gearbox (limits the slip to 35 % under load, repsectively 25 % without load)
Torsen means "torque sensing" - the differential senses the difference in grip of the two front wheels and assures a progressive transfer of the torque to the wheel with the higher grip and therefore offers a better traction.
The Torsen-differential is very smooth in action - it does not work like a conventional plate LSD which can only work "locked" or "un-locked" - it transfers the engine's power continuously.
The engine's power is no longer reduced by ASR (traction control) respectively Electronic Q2 does not have to improve traction by braking the wheel with less traction (which increases brake pad wear).
Curves can therefore be passed more quickly and without or less ASR / VDC regulation which results in a loss of engine power and weaker acceleration.
This differential does not only improve the handling and speed when driving very sportively, it also improves the traction on slippery roads since it always transfers the engine's torque to the wheel with the best grip.
The washers which are needed for the adjustment of the differential in the gearbox case are not included in the scope of delivery.
We recommend to have the differential mounted by a trained mechanic!
