Some of these have a cone clutch that is just like the synchronizers in a manual transmission. The spring pack pushes the side gears against the clutches, which are attached to the cage. Both side gears spin with the cage when both wheels are moving at the same speed, and the clutches aren't really needed -- the only time the clutches step in is when something happens to make one wheel spin faster than the other, as in a turn. The clutches fight this behavior, wanting both wheels to go the same speed. If one wheel wants to spin faster than the other, it must first overpower the clutch. The stiffness of the springs combined with the friction of the clutch determine how much torque it takes to overpower it. ' -taken from howstuffworks.com And this explains it well also: 'There are two main forms of differential - mechanical and viscous differentials. Mechanical differentials have a series of cones that engage within the differential to lock the torque split when the relative axle speed differential exceed a certain ratio. Because this is mechanical the torque split once locked is a certain ratio - there are more complex ones like the Quaife which are far more progressive in effect than the older banjo type ones like the Ford 9 inch and detroit lockers.' My understanding is that the clutch type LSD use clutch packs to push the side gears when sensing one wheel is spinning faster, and that mechanical LSD's use a set of cones which smartly split the torque in a set ratio to each wheel.
