Abstract: A differential includes: a driving member; a first driven member; a second driven member; and a coupling between the driving member and each of the driven members, the coupling includes: an input member connected to one of the driving member, the first driven member and the second driven member; an output member connected to another one of the first driven member and the second driven member, wherein there is a first space between the output member and the input member; a magneto-rheological fluid located in the space; and at least one electromagnet proximate the space.
