    But that is only controlling the drive between the front and back wheels not side to side

    What confuses me is that if you engaged gear the (broken) driveshaft would just spin and no drive would go to any other wheel. Isn't that like being on ice?

    I thought that the torsen diff is supposed to automatically direct drive to the wheels with grip in that situation?

    Please excuse my obvious ignorance but it really has had me baffled!
