Combined coupling and differential 100, for motor vehicle, having differential 120 and coupling 130 in common housing 105, 110, rotatable around axis X-X, having ring gear 112 for torque input to differential 120 which has pinion shaft 122 and pinion gears 121, 123 meshed with side gear pair 124, 125 rotating co-axially with axis X-X and drivingly connected to output shafts 101, 102. First side gear 124 connects with first output shaft 101 through engageable coupling 130. Output shafts 101, 102 may provide drive path to front road wheels. Coupling 130 may be a friction clutch comprising clutch drum 131 and hub 135 rotating about common axis X-X, and plates 133. Coupling 130, side gears 124, 125 and shafts 101, 102 may connect through splined shafts and bores. Coupling 130 may include thrust ring 137 and hydraulic actuator 140. Combined coupling and differential 100 may be rotatably supported in transmission housing 117 by bearings 108, 109.
