The rear axle is equipped with the manual differential lock as a dog clutch while the front axle is equipped with the
automatic LSD (Limited Slip Differential).
The LSD consists of four friction discs, four plates and one pressure spring. Some differential lock effect can be
achieved only by fi xing the spiral bevel gear (ring gear) and one axle to each other. When the vehicle is driven or
cornering on a normal paved road, the turning speed difference between the ring gear and axle is not immense and
the friction between the friction disc and plate can be tolerant. However, when excessive turning speed difference
between the left and right of the axle is occurred by imbalanced friction applied to the right and left wheels on a slip-
pery road, the turning speed difference between the friction disc and plate becomes excessive, resulting in immense
friction. As a result, this friction reduces some level of a speed difference by the differential to help the vehicle es-
cape from a slippery area easily.
The half of this friction clutch pack is always soaked in lubricant to achieve durability of the friction disc.
