That torque transfer, combined with a 1.7% rear over-rotation of the rear wheel helps rotate the RDX through a turn.
Three transmission settings are offered with appropriate adjustments to the torque transfer in the centre differential.
Some designs use gearing to create a small rotational difference that hastens torque transfer.
The torque transfer occurs automatically and gradually when one wheel loses traction.
When the clutch is fully engaged, there is no relative slip, assuming the clutch is sized properly, and thus torque transfer is 100% efficient.
A clutch must be disengaged before the new gear is selected, to disengage the running engine from the transmission, thus stopping all torque transfer.
These differentials build upon the basic torque transfer between the front and rear wheels.
And even without torque transfer, you get the feeling that if you tried to macarena, it would follow every move.
Torsen centre differential, 50:50 'default' split, automatically apportioning up to 75% of torque transfer to either axle.
Torsen type 1 or 2 centre differential, 50:50 'default' split, automatically apportioning up to 75% of torque transfer to either front or rear axle.
