Abstract
A differential is provided between a left and a right wheels of a motor vehicle for distributing an output torque of a transmission to the left and the right wheels. A fluid operated multiple-disk clutch is provided for restricting the differential operation of the differential. A speed difference between the left and the right wheels is calculated, and an input torque to the differential is determined. The fluid operated multiple-disk clutch is operated in accordance with the speed difference and the input torque, in such a manner that the restricting magnitude increases with increases of the speed difference and the input torque.
