TORSEN Traction Differential T-2 (Type 2 or Type B) |
 JTEKT Torsen's TORSEN T-2 Traction Differential are ideally suited for front wheel, center box, or C-Clip rear axle applications. The patented EQUVEX™ parallel axis gear configuration provides better management of gear mesh separation forces, resulting in low backlash and quiet operation. In addition, long side gear lengths permit more flexibility in axle spline positions. Unlike conventional speed sensing, limited-slip differentials, TORSEN T-2 is a full-time torque-sensing, torque biasing system. Torque and differentiation are continuously managed between the two axles and biased instantaneously according to variable road conditions. There are no clutches or preload to worry about, in fact, the TORSEN T-2's patented parallel gearing system is designed to perform for the life of the vehicle. TORSEN T-2 Traction Differentials are available with a biasing capability range of 1.4:1 to 3.0:1 and will fit in most standard axles without modification. In addition, they are fully compatible with ABS and Traction Control Systems, providing the ultimate in traction management systems. |
 MULTIFUNCTION CAPABILITIES
 The TORSEN T-2 is an advanced,
multi-function traction differential, providing continuous, uninterrupted torque output,
torque biasing and differentiation in one integral unit. It is always active,
responding instantly to torque feedback from variable driving conditions.

 ENHANCED PERFORMANCE
The
TORSEN T-2's capability to immediately respond to variable driving conditions not only
provides better traction, it also enhances the general performance of a vehicle.
There is a marked improvement in total tractive effort as compared to open or conventional
limited-slip differential equipped vehicles. In addition, the exceptional efficiency
of the T-2 allows the engine's torque output to be used more effectively, delivering more
horsepower to the road. The combined improvement in traction and the augmented power
results in a nimble yet sure-footed vehicle that provides better handling, increased
acceleration and an improved margin of safety. |

TORQUE BIAS
Designed
for today's modern front wheel drive vehicles, the TORSEN T-2 design is also suitable for
C-Clip rear axles. It features lower backlash for quiet operation and longer
durability. Other TORSEN T-2 advantages include straddle transfer gear design
allowing better management of gear mesh separation forces and long side gear lengths for
flexibility in axle spline positions. In addition, the number of planet gears can be
increased or decreased, based upon system strength requirements.

DESIGNED FOR FRONT, CENTER
DRIVES, AND C-CLIP AXLES TORSEN T-2 provides efficient torque
biasing and differentiation for improved performance. It is specifically designed
for front wheel drive applications and C-Clip type rear axles. The TORSEN T-2 is
compatible with automatic transmission fluids and especially well suited for front wheel
drive applications where the final drive is an integral part of the transmission.
With the TORSEN T-2, low torque bias center-drive designs can provide better traction
control and deliver more power to the wheels. (For center drives with higher torque
bias requirements refer to the TORSEN T-1 data page.)
