One embodiment of a torque coupling unit for use with a differential assembly is described. The system has a first side gear connected to a first axle half shaft. A clutch can end piece is also connected to the first intermediate shaft. A clutch can is connected to the clutch can end piece. A first plurality of clutch plates extend from the clutch can. A second plurality of clutch plates is interleaved with the first plurality of clutch plates to form a clutch pack. The second plurality of clutch plates extend from a clutch drum. The clutch drum is connected to a second intermediate shaft. A clutch actuator assembly comprises an actuator in driving engagement with a gear set. The gear set drives an actuator plate. The actuator plate is part of a ball ramp assembly used to selectively engage the clutch pack.
