Abstract
A method of determining clutch torque for a limited slip differential gear mechanism on a vehicle includes obtaining an estimated driveline torque. A desired bias torque is established. A necessary clutch torque required to achieve the desired bias torque is determined. The necessary clutch torque is commanded based on the estimated driveline torque to achieve the desired bias torque.
