Abstract:
1. A power transmitting apparatus comprising: a differential mechanism for transmitting a torque transmitted from an engine by way of a transmission differentially rotatably to a pair of output shafts; a housing integrally provided to a transmission case of the transmission, wherein the differential mechanism is contained and supported at inside of the housing, and a common lubrication environment is constituted in the housing and the transmission case; a support housing supported by the housing; and a limited slip differential mechanism for limiting a differential movement of the differential mechanism and supported by the support housing; wherein the limited slip differential mechanism comprises: wherein the outer rotating member is supported by the support housing through a pair of bearings on both sides of the clutch portion in an axial direction, wherein the inner rotating member is supported by the outer rotating member through a pair of bearings on both sides of the clutch portion in the axial direction, and wherein an inner circumferential portion of the inner rotating member and an outer circumferential portion of said one of the output shafts are connected by a spline coupling.
