The transmission and differential are located
inside an aluminum two part housing, which is
connected to the engine by a flange.
The input shafts are splined.
Driving torque is transferred to the differential
cage by the crown wheel, which is bolted to it.
Inside the differential housing are the differential
pinions, which are located on a spindle, and the
drive halfshaft pinions, which are connected to
the front, drive halfshafts by splines.
When there is a speed difference between the
two front wheels (for instance when driving
through a curve), the front drive halfshaft pinions
are able to turn on the differential pinions.
