A torsen has a 'gear' set in the carrier(not to be confused with the spider gears of auburns and eatons) and the auburns have 'cone' clutches.

This has been discussed so many times it's probably still on this page.

Torsen T1 - all gears, torque biasing www.torsen.com
Auburn - cone clutches and preload springs. wwwauburngearcom
