Is a 1.6 VLSD worth $50?
 
There's a VLSD at a local yard that they want $50 for, but the case is trashed. Can I swap the gears into my current case? If so, is it terribly difficult?

I know the VLSD's aren't that great, is it even worth it?

how old/ how many miles on it?

probably not worth the hassle even if it were for free...
you know you want an 1.8 diff ;)

This type of swap will not work, as far as I know. The axles are different right to left, so one would assume that the diff housing would also be different.

I had the VLSD on my car, it isn't worth the trouble to install unless you are really after any LSD on a budget.

If you do get it, make sure you get the axles as well.
