A limited slip differential assembly comprises a friction clutch assembly and a clutch actuator assembly including an actuator motor, a clutch actuator, and a gear module for drivingly coupling the actuator motor to the clutch actuator. The gear module includes a casing having a first mounting flange for fixing the casing to a differential housing and a second mounting flange for fixing the casing to the actuator motor, two gear support arms outwardly extending from the first mounting flange into the differential housing through an opening therein, a gear shaft supported by the gear support arms, and a pair of coaxial reduction gear members drivingly coupled to the gear shaft. One of the reduction gear members is drivingly coupled to the actuator motor and the other of the reduction gear members is drivingly coupled with the clutch actuator.
