A differential gear mechanism includes a rotatable case driven by torque from an engine, a differential gear set housed in the case for differential distribution of the torque to a pair of output axes, comprising a first clutch, an annular plunger movable in a direction of the rotation axis and an annular electromagnetic actuator for actuation of the plunger in the direction of the rotation axis. The case further comprises a second clutch being slidable in the direction of the rotation axis and the second clutch is actuated by the plunger so as to be engaged with the first clutch.
