2014 calendar year. Please contact Ridhan Riyal at cell (810) 513-3832 for further
instruction. If he cannot be reached with 15 minutes proceed with your repair.~
The DS Limited Slip Differential operates as a torque sensing device because when
torque is applied to the differential gear set the reaction forces of the bevel gears
apply an axial force into the clutch system providing the torque bias. When the input
torque is very low the reaction forces will decrease allowing the differential to ACT
SIMILIAR TO A OPEN DIFFERENTIAL (zero preload). Please do not confuse this
with prior model year Limited Slip Differentials. See the service manual for complete
details.
