my speedo crapped out, would a replacement from another VX slot right in or does it need to be married in?

if you replace cluster your odometer will not be correct and may need airbags, tacho etc recalibrated
try to find a same model with similar km's

VS Statesman
Just find a cluster from a car with the same specs as yours with similar mileage (that is, same number of airbags, pretensioners, engine config, body type and tank capacity) and you can fit it straight in.

But if you have the tool to change the config, you can get one from v6/v8/sedan/ute/wagon etc it doesn't matter. You cannot change the mileage on a used odometer though.
