caption_attribution_description: English: Positive traction differential, with spider gears shown, a limited slip would have a clutchpack instead of a spider gear. From a Ford Falcon (Australia).
context_page_description: A limited-slip differential is a type of differential that allows its two output shafts to rotate at different speeds but limits the maximum difference between the two shafts.
  In an automobile, such limited-slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
