Differential; Super-Lsd Outline; Super-Lsd Construction - Mazda 2006 MX-5 Service Highlights

SUPER-LSD OUTLINE

• The super-LSD is a torque-sensing type that provides improved driving stability due to the following
characteristics:
— Low torque bias ratio provides improved controllability (torque bias ratio: 2.0)
— Creation of initial torque provides improved starting from a standstill and acceleration/deceleration
response, and driving straight-ahead (initial torque: 49 N·m {5.0 kgf·m, 36 ft·lbf})
— Simplified construction provides weight reduction
• The gear case component of the super-LSD cannot be disassembled.

SUPER-LSD CONSTRUCTION

• Inside the super-LSD, taper rings that are fixed to the differential gear case have been placed between the
differential gear case and the side gears. Additionally, a cone is provided around the outer surface of the side
gear.
• Springs and retainers are positioned between the right and left side gears to provide initial torque to the taper
rings.
