Traction-Lok (R) Limited Slip

CAUTION: Extended use of other -than matching size spare tires on a Traction-Lok rear axle could result in reduction in effectiveness (bias torque). This loss of effectiveness does not affect normal driving and should riot be noticeable to the driver. However, extended use will reduce the ability of the axle to provide added traction on slippery surfaces.

Differential action is accomplished as follows:
- The pressure between differential clutch packs opposes differential action at all times.
- When the vehicle turns a corner, the differential clutch pack slips, allowing normal differential action to take place.
- Under adverse weather conditions, where one or both wheels may be on a low-traction surface such as snow, ice or mud, the friction between the clutch plates will transfer a portion of the usable torque to the wheel with the most traction. Thus, the wheel that is on ice or snow will have a tendency to operate with the opposite wheel in a combined driving effort.
