Jeez, I know *I* can't get the search function here to work, but if youse people have the same problem, then maybe you should try other places to search, 'cuz this info is absolutely everywhere:
1) The "V" in VLSD means "Viscous". A VLSD is a type of LSD, generally considered to be the "lowest-performance" type. It is, however, the only type of LSD that a 240 got from the factory.
2) 240's usually came with an open differential in the US, but the VLSD was an option in some model years.
3) S13, S14, it doesn't matter as far as output shafts are concerned (hey Dwift, we agree&#33<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>. The rear cover may be a problem, tho' (but if it is, you can just swap 'em).
4) 50,000 miles is indeed nothing for a diff, and 50,000 Km is even less; less than nothing, so you're cool.
