Need more traction?  For travel on rain, ice, and snow to muddy trails and back roads, Auburn Positraction units provide a full range of limited-slip differentials. These positraction units are designed to transfer torque quickly and smoothly in any driving condition. We can supply Auburn Positraction's for Chrysler, Dana, Jeep, AMC, Ford, General Motors, Isuzu and Toyota's.  Don't get stuck again, below you will find a detailed application guide and information on how the Auburn Limited Slip Positractioin works.

Our Auburn limited slip differential positraction units provide you with more performance? It is a combination, better yet an optimization, of our unique
and robust cone clutch and the preload spring arrangement we provide. Limited slip differentials cannot be compared by simply looking at the amount of preload. Preload refers to the load on the clutch, not the torque required to slip  the clutch. Therefore, a differential with 800 lbs. of preload many perform better than a differential with 1500 lbs. of preload, just due to the design of the clutches. Our cone clutch arrangement makes us the best—the numbers don’t lie. If you want to be the best, demand the best–an Auburn Pro or High Performance Series limited slip differential.

The highly efficient torque transfer capability of the Auburn Gear limited-slip differential is achieved through the use of cone clutches coupled to beveled side gears. As torque is transmitted through the differential side gears to the axle shafts, the side gear separating forces and spring pre-load firmly seat the cones into the differential case. The cone design, along with the applied force, determines the torque transfer capability of the differential. When torque levels decrease, as in a cornering maneuver, the gear separating forces also decrease, allowing the axle shafts to rotate independently. All Auburn Gear limited-slip differentials are designed to provide the maximum amount of torque transfer without compromising the performance requirements of a vehicle in situations where torque transfer is not required.
