The video tutorial explains the concept and functionality of a limited slip differential (LSD) in vehicles. It begins by discussing the need for LSD to prevent wheel slip on surfaces like ice. The tutorial then details the components of LSD, including the drive pinion, ring gear, and clutch pack. It explains how the clutch pack, consisting of friction plates and clutch discs, works to manage wheel rotation. The video further describes how LSD operates during turns and straight-line travel, ensuring power distribution to both wheels for traction.
