Abstract
According to the invention, an output element of a differential is made in two parts (14a, 14b), one (14b) of these two parts being axially mobile under the effect of a torque transmitted through this output element. This axial displacement is used to act either on a friction clutch or preferably on a coupling of the viscocoupler type in order to modify its characteristics. Application particularly to motor vehicles.
