Yukon Gear YP PC11.5-HELIC is a helical gear limited-slip differential for GM and Chrysler 11.5-inch AAM axles with 30-spline axle shafts. Unlike a traditional clutch-type positraction, this differential uses floating helical-cut gears to transfer torque between the axle shafts, providing progressive limited-slip operation without clutch discs that wear and require periodic replacement.
When acceleration or wheel slip creates a difference in traction, the internal helical gears work to bias torque toward the tire with better grip while reducing torque sent to the slipping wheel. The result is smooth, automatic torque transfer without the abrupt engagement associated with some locking differential designs.
Because torque transfer is handled through gears rather than friction clutch packs, this Yukon helical LSD is an attractive upgrade for trucks that see towing, street use, performance driving, work duty, or changing traction conditions. The gear-driven design also eliminates the clutch-pack maintenance found in conventional clutch-type limited-slip differentials.
The YP PC11.5-HELIC is supplied assembled with a steel differential case and is designed for 30-spline, full-floating GM and Chrysler 11.5-inch AAM axle applications. It accepts a 12-bolt ring gear and is listed for all gear ratios.

About Yukon Gear Helical Limited-Slip Differentials:
Yukon Gear helical limited-slip differentials use gear-driven torque biasing rather than traditional friction clutch packs. Floating helical-cut gears react to changes in wheel speed and traction, progressively transferring torque toward the wheel with better grip while continuing to allow normal differential action during everyday driving. With no clutch discs to wear out or periodically replace, the design offers a low-maintenance limited-slip solution for street trucks, tow vehicles, work applications, and performance builds where smooth and automatic traction control is preferred.
