Blackline Limited Slip Differential - Renault Clio 4 RS 200 - RS Trophy 220 - EDC DC4 Transmission

The Blackline limited slip differential for the Renault Clio 4 RS 200 and RS Trophy 220 1.6 Turbo with EDC DC4 transmission, 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 more torque to be transmitted to the wheel with the best traction. As torque increases, the gears exert pressure against the differential housing and generate the internal friction necessary for this torque distribution. The system thus allows for better utilization of available traction, particularly during hard acceleration and when exiting corners.

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 while cornering, while benefiting from improved torque split when traction becomes uneven.

The Blackline limited slip differential uses a parallel-shaft helical gear architecture. Its 5:1 torque split means that the wheel with the best traction can receive up to five times the torque transmitted to the wheel that is slipping.

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. It is therefore most effective when both wheels maintain a minimum level of resistance. This technology also works particularly well in conjunction with modern ABS systems.

The Blackline HLF055 limited slip differential is designed for Renault Clio 4 RS models equipped with the 1.6 Turbo engine and the EDC DC4 6-speed transmission, specifically the RS 200 and RS Trophy 220 versions. The transmission type must be verified before ordering to confirm compatibility with the vehicle.
