Blackline Limited Slip Differential - Honda - S80 Transmission - 117 mm Ring Gear

The Blackline limited slip differential for Honda with S80 transmission and a 117 mm ring gear, also known as an LSD (limited slip differential), improves traction by distributing torque between the two-wheel drive drive wheels based on available grip.

Its helical gear design allows the limited slip differential to transmit more torque to the wheel with the best traction. As torque increases, the gears press against the differential housing and generate the internal friction necessary for this torque distribution. The system can thus handle a significant difference in drive force between the two wheels, particularly during heavy acceleration out of a turn or when traction is limited.

Under light loads, the helical limited slip differential maintains smooth, progressive, and quiet operation. The wheels can continue to rotate at different speeds when necessary, particularly when cornering. This feature enhances traction during spirited driving while maintaining handling suitable for on-road use.

The Blackline limited slip differential uses a parallel-axis helical gear architecture optimized to distribute forces. Its 5:1 torque split means that when one of the wheels loses traction, the wheel with the most traction can receive up to five times the torque transmitted to the spinning wheel.

As with any helical-gear limited slip differential, a minimum amount of resistance must remain on the wheel with the least grip to allow torque transfer. Its effectiveness is therefore optimal when both wheels maintain a minimum level of resistance. This technology also works particularly well in conjunction with modern ABS systems.

The Blackline HLF093 limited slip differential is designed for Honda applications equipped with an S80 transmission and a 117 mm ring gear. For certain configurations, compatibility requires 40 mm bearings. These sizes must be verified before mounting to ensure compatibility with the vehicle’s drivetrain.
