Quattro generations (was: Miata Torsen)

[Peter Berrevoets]

OK - here is a jpeg of the bentley page - note the [200 models - Quattro]
and the [All Wheel Drive 016 - Rear final drive components].

While the illustration does not show the locking lever, this is shown later,
note that item 15 is labeled Differential lock clutch body and that item 10
is a Toren differential.

I'll send the attachment to you and will forward a copy to anyone on the
list who would like to see it. (please reply with a send copy request)

I think the diagram provides all the explanation required.
