TX Video showing how rear differential works

Great old video that explains how the gears in the rear differential work so that your rear wheels can spin at different speeds when you go around corners...

Skip to about the 2:00 minute mark and watch from there.

I've seen this video posted on a few car blogs before. Good find, but why are you posting it?

It's a good video but it does not get into limited slip differentials and the main types like clutch type, viscous type, torsen, and the various computer controlled designs

Damn, that was cool! While I understood the principal and have seen a few differentials taken apart, this video made it all apparent how it works.

Thanks!
