What is Torsen limited slip rear differential?
The Torsen functions as an open differential as long as the amount of torque transmitted to each rear wheel remains equal. When one tire begins to lose traction, the Torsen instantly senses the change in torque being applied to the ground.

Is posi traction the same as a locker?
With a locker both wheels will spin at the same speed. With a posi it allows the wheels to turn at differenthe speeds. When turning the inside wheel needs to turn slower than the outside .
How does a Torsen differential work?
Torsen® differentials are torque-biasing, meaning they distribute torque between the tires – biasing more torque toward wherever it’s best used – without requiring a loss of traction to operate. They work by managing the friction which results when torque is applied to the helical gearing.
