Zusammenfassung:	A differential having means ( 35 ) operable to limit rotation of an output gear ( 23 ) relative to a gear case ( 11 ), and actuation means ( 55 ) for actuating the rotation limiting means, from an unactuated (FIG. 1 ) to an actuated condition (FIG. 4 ). The rotation limiting means includes a member ( 47 ), toward one axial end of the gear case and moveable between a first position, the unactuated condition of said rotation limiting means, and a second position, the actuated condition. A sensor assembly is adjacent the one axial end of the gear case and includes a sensor element ( 71 ) and a wall-like member between the rotation limiting means and the actuation means. The wall-like member includes a non-ferromagnetic portion ( 73 ) between the sensor and the moveable member. Movement between the first and second positions results in a corresponding change in the electromagnetic flux (F) coupling the sensor element and the moveable member.
