Models equipped with 5-speed manual transmission utilize a viscous-type locking center differential with torque distribution configured at a 50/50-split
front-to-rear. 2.5 XS and 2.5 XT models also feature a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential.
Models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable multi-plate transfer clutch to distribute power to where
traction is needed. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help determine torque distribution to the wheels
with optimum traction. 2.5 XS and 2.5 XT models also include a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential.
