Collar type differential which combines limited slip and locking capability

A differential assembly comprising:

• a first case half;
• a second case half connected to the first case half, the first and second case halves defining a gear chamber, the first and second case halves each including pockets formed therein;
• a differential gear set disposed in the gear chamber;
• a first clutch pack and a second clutch packs disposed in the pockets between the first and second case halves and differential gear set, the first and second clutch packs engaging the first and second case halves and the differential gear set defining a limited slip;
• a locking collar disposed in a cavity formed in one of the first or second case halves;
• and,
• an electric actuator mechanism coupled to the locking collar selectively moving the locking collar into engagement with the differential gear set locking the differential, wherein one of the first or second case halves includes a laterally extending wall formed thereon, the laterally extending wall separating the clutch pack from the locking collar.
