LSD (Limited Slip Differential)

4. Multiple-disc type
A barrel-shaped compression spring is fitted between the left and right side gears to keep the thrust washers pressed up against the clutch plate via the retainers and side gears.
Therefore, the friction generated between the clutch plate and thrust washer limits the differential.
HINT:
A special LSD oil is used for multiple-disc type LSDs.
