Torsen-differential (limits the slip to 35 % under load, repsectively about 25 % without load).
This differential was specially designed for small frontwheel-drive cars with high torque.
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 torque 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 therefor 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, muddy or snowy roads since it always transfers the engine's torque to the wheel with the best grip.
This Torsen differential is fully compatible with the "electronically simulated" limited slip differential Electronic Q2.
The scope of delivery includes two differential bearings and the seal rings for the drive shaft flanges.
The washers which are needed for the adjustment of the differential in the gearbox case are not included.
We recommend to have the differential mounted by a trained mechanic!
Please note the car's VIN (ZAR955....) in the order form!
