2.1.3 Limited-Slips
A Limited Slip Differential uses clutches within the differential to
progressively lock the speed of the two axleshafts more tightly as their
speed differentiates. It operates in much the same way as an automatic
locker, locking and unlocking automatically. As a result, it is very
street friendly and provides much more traction than an open differential.
It does not provide 100% lockup like a locker does, however, but this
can be advantageous for those who wish to reduce the chance of axle
breakage while retaining most of the benefits a locker provides.
