Differential

Major components of the differential include:
- Spur gear
- Differential housing with two taper roller bearings
- Differential pinions
- Input shaft pinions
The transaxle and differential are housed in a two section aluminum housing and flange-mounted to the engine.
The input shafts have splines.
The input torque is transmitted to the differential via a spur gear which is bolted to the differential cage.
The differential cage contains the differential pinions mounted on one pin as well as the front halfshaft pinions connected to the front drive shafts through the splines.
If the front wheels are traveling at different speeds (when cornering), the front halfshaft pinions can move on the differential pinions.
