Abstract
A limited slip differential system in the drive train of a motor vehicle with continuous all-wheel drive is provided with a direct through drive acted on by an intermediate planetary transmission and an engageable braking device. The transmission ratio between the planetary transmission and the braking device is substantially higher than the transmission ratio for the direct through drive. This keeps the required braking moment small and allows the use of a relatively small braking device.
