Variable Torque Distribution Center Differential

The front-rear torque distribution ratio is basically determined by the gear tooth ratio of center differential's compound planetary gears and varied by changing the degree of engagement of the hydraulically operated multi-plate clutch that connects the center differential output elements according to driving conditions and road surface conditions.
