Abstract
A differential mechanism includes a housing having a wall exposed to an open end and a pair of receptors defined in the wall. A lid is affixed to the open end forming an enclosure with the housing. The opposing gears are in driving engagement with one and the other and are disposed in the enclosure. A shaft is slidably disposed in the receptors extending through two of the opposing gears thereby supporting the opposing gears rotatable relative the housing. A retaining mechanism is defined between the shaft and at least one of the receptors forming a rigid connection therebetween to prevent movement of the shaft relative the housing.
