Group One: Differential

Drive torque on the crown wheel is transmitted to the vehicle wheels via a bevel gear differential, just as in a manual transmission. The crown wheel is bolted to the differential case with 8 bolts. The drive shafts are fitted to the differential with conventional CV joints and seals. Conical bearings are used to support the differential.
