	Limited Slip Differential
		To provide good even traction even though one wheel is slipping, a limited slip differential is used in many vehicles.
		The limited slip differential delivers maximum torque to the wheel with maximum traction.
		Coil springs are situated between the side gears to wedge the clutches into the differential case.

	Limited Slip Differential - Wikicars
		In automotive applications, a limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount.
		In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
		The main advantage of a limited slip differential is found by considering the case of a standard differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all.

	Howstuffworks "Clutch-type Limited Slip Differential"
		The clutch-type LSD is probably the most common version of the limited slip differential.
		This type of LSD has all of the same components as an open differential, but it adds a spring pack and a set of clutches.
		Getting back to the situation in which one drive wheel is on the ice and the other one has good traction: With this limited slip differential, even though the wheel on the ice is not able to transmit much torque to the ground, the other wheel will still get the torque it needs to move.

	Tractech Limited Slip Differential - Tech, Review - Popular Hot Rodding
		As the name implies, limited slip units do offer grip in situations where the axles are turning at different speeds (through turns), and normally do so with clutches.
		During "normal" street driving, the Truetrac performs like an "open" differential, but when traction loss occurs (whether the cause is wet, muddy, or icy conditions, or even if you're simply power-sliding through a turn at your favorite road course), imbalanced gear forces automatically transfer power to the wheel with the most traction.
		To limit potential backlash issues, it's recommended you check the backlash of the existing unit, and double-check this dimension after re-installing the differential.

	Limited slip differential with temperature compensating valve - Patent 6120408
		The limited slip differential set forth in claim 2 wherein the flow metering edge is generally linear and extends transversely across the fluid flow control orifice in an oblique direction relative to the direction of the relative linear movement of the slide valve plate.
		In a limited slip differential for a rear wheel drive vehicle, this may contribute to unpredictable handling of the vehicle or cause so-called "crow hopping" of the vehicle during steering maneuvers.
		The limited slip differentials disclosed in these reference patents include a speed sensitive torque bias wherein the bias torque is related to the difference in the speeds of the differential side gears and the pinion carrier.

	Limited Slip Differential (LSD) - Rica Engineering
		In contrast to a standard ESP-system a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is a very sporty and high-performance approach to control wheel spin thereby improving the car's traction.
		This type of differential uses clutch plates and pressure rings to distribute power mechanically to the rear wheels based on individual wheel slip.
		The pressure rings determine percentage of total lock, as well as the slip required to engage the limited slip differential.

	2.972 How A Differential Works
		A car differential is placed halfway between the driving wheels, on either the front, rear, or both axes (depending on whether it’s a front-, rear-, or 4-wheel-drive car).
		In rear-wheel drive cars, the differential converts rotational motion of the transmission shaft which lies parallel to the car’s motion to rotational motion of the half-shafts (on the ends of which are the wheels), which lie perpendicular to the car’s motion.
		Thus, a locking mechanism, or "limited slip differential" allows one wheel to slip or spin freely while some torque is delivered to the other wheel (hopefully on dry land!).

	Into The Red - Limited Slip Differential
		To change the angles and number of clutches the differential has to be removed from the transmission, the stubs and clutch plates replaced and the whole thing assembled again.
		The Salisbury differential is designed to allow the race engineer to adjust the resistance it provides to slippage between the rear wheels.
		Limiting slip on the coast side also makes the tail less prone to step out if the throttle is lifted in mid-corner.

	Pelican Technical Article: BMW E30 3 Series Limited Slip Differential Swap
		Simply put, a limited slip differential or L.S.D. is a differential that distributes power evenly to both rear wheels.
		The real advantage of an L.S.D. is felt during cornering, as power distribution is split between both wheels.
		Keep in mind that the differential is very heavy, so use caution and while pulling the differential back, lower the jack.

	Limited Slip Differential (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The most common is with clutch packs in the differential that are set to a "breakaway" threshold.
		Another semi-common way is using viscosity (Viscous LSD's), which use a special differential fluid to control the amount of slip.
		Most AWD (as opposed to 4WD) systems emply some manner of viscous limited slip in order to transfer power to the other set of wheels when needed, but avoid it to avoid drivetrain wear and improve fuel economy.

	limited-slip differential? [Archive] - Jeepz.com
		Limited slip or locker will only help if one tire spins and the other just sits there.
		The problem with an open differential is that all the power is sent to the wheel with the least amount of traction, so you'll find yourself stuck spinning one tire while the other just sits there.
		They're more pricey than locking differentials and can be more costly to install, but it's transparent onroad as opposed to the quirks of a locker.

		That's because an open differential spins the inside rear tire on corner exit to the point of hopelessness, while a completely locked differential promotes tire and time-scrubbing understeer.
		A limited-slip differential that splits the difference is best from a power and handling standpoint, but often the trick is finding one that works that you can afford.
		As a limited slip, the Ford Traction-Lok's main advantages are affordability and wide availability, combined with smooth and quiet operation.

	Quaife Differential (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Quaife torque biasing differential enables your car to accelerate quicker and corner faster by powering both drive wheels under nearly all conditions, instead of just one.
		With an ordinary open differential, standard on most cars, a lot of power is wasted during wheelspin under acceleration.
		This happens because the open differential shifts power to the wheel with less grip (along the path of least resistance).
