Default XR6 Ute Diff

hey guys

im looking at getting a diff out of a wrecked 2001 au2 xr6 ute
its a manual
i know it PROBABLY wont fit but i thought id post here in case it does or someone knows a way to make it fit cuz i dont want to buy it for nothing
what ratio would it be, does it matter that its manual and does it matter that its going on a sedan?
thats all... thanks in advance

if your sedan is live axle then swaping centers over shouldn't be a problem.

im not 100% sure what live axle is, live axle is opposite to IRS isnt it? in that case im pretty sure it is live axle but if someone could explain the difference that would be great

have a look under the back end. if it looks like ==0== it is live axle, if it has the diff centre mounted onto the car and arms out to the wheels it is irs
