    Yeh will go in no worries.
    As far as im aware vt-vx-vy are all the same. I have a full VY rear end in mine, But i kept my LSD off the VX non ajustable cradle and it bolted up to the VY rear cradle no worries.
    "As far as i have found if it has HIGH PREFORMANCE on the tag it means it is a LSD as i guess you already know.

    My calais had high performance on the tag but wasnt a lsd. My new diff has lsd on the tag.

    Too many to list......
    Depends on what car the new diff came out of. If it came out of a VT it will go straight in. If it came out of a VX or a VY you will need to change your tail shaft over with a VX or VY one as the bolt patterns are different. Also make sure the tail shaft you get comes from a sedan as wagon, ute and statesman tail shafts are longer.
