Abstract
A drivetrain component that includes a case, a carrier, and a differential gearset is supported in the carrier. The differential gear set includes a first differential gear connected to a first shaft and a second differential gear connected to a second shaft. A first coupling assembly mechanically couples the case to the carrier, and a second coupling assembly mechanically couples a shaft of the differential to the case.
