Abstract
A driveline power transmitting component with a differential assembly having a differential input, first and second differential outputs, which are driven by the differential input, a first friction clutch, a first biasing spring and a second friction clutch. The first friction clutch has a friction plate that is non-rotatably but axially slidably coupled to the differential input. The first biasing spring urges the first friction clutch into an engaged condition in which the friction plate of the first friction clutch is frictionally engaged to the first differential output. The second friction clutch has a plurality of first clutch plates, which are axially slidably but non-rotatably coupled to the differential input, and a plurality of second clutch plates that interleaved with the first clutch plates and axially slidably but non-rotatably coupled to the first differential output.
