ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Herein disclosed is a center differential for a four-wheel drive vehicle, which comprises three mem- bers, i.e.: an input member connected for rotations to the output shaft of a transmission; a first output member for transmitting the rotations of the input member to a rear wheel output shaft; and a second output member for transmitting the rotations of the input member to a front wheel output shaft. Further comprised are frictional engaging means interposed between any two of those three members, and applying force transforming means for generating a force to engage the frictional engaging means on the basis of a tangential force which is generated relatively between any of the three members. Thus, when the tangential force is generated as a torque is transmitted among the three members, an axial force is generated as a compo- nent of the tangential force to increase the engaging force of the frictional engaging means so that a dif- ferential lock is established to automatically adjust the torque distribution ratio between the rear and front wheels to a proper value.
