Get the Traction You Need with an Auburn Gear Limited Slip Differential

Whether it’s racing, off-roading, or showing off at a stoplight Grand Prix, traction is the name of the game. An Auburn Gear differential provides that extra traction without the annoying effects of going to a full locker.

The High Performance and Pro Series differentials are a limited slip design that uses cone clutches coupled to bevel side gears and preload springs. As torque is transmitted through the side gears to the axle shafts, separating forces and spring preload firmly seat the cones into the differential case, providing torque to both wheels. When cornering, the side gear separating forces also decrease, allowing the axle shafts to rotate independently, delivering more torque to the wheel with the most traction.

The difference between the two? The High Performance Series differentials are designed for street and light off-road use. The Pro Series differentials have a heavier-duty cone clutch and preload springs that react more quickly to tire slippage than the High Performance models. That makes the Pro Series ideal for high-horsepower cars.

Auburn Gear High Performance and Pro Series Differentials are available for most popular GM, Ford, Chrysler, Dana, AMC, and Toyota axles.

Summit Racing also carries Auburn Gear Autocross Road Race Series limited slip differentials for GM’s 7.5 inch 10-bolt (think 1982-2002 Camaro) and Ford 8.8 inch rear axles. They have a ‘floating’ center pin design. In a corner, the outside wheel axle shaft will apply a force to the center pin, firmly seating the pinion gears’ inside cone/side gear assembly. The result is an extremely "tight" rear axle that provides more grip as G-forces increase.
