I have rebuilt. A diff for my car. The original has a different speed sensor plug to the rebuilt one. Will the old one transplant ok?

Should be fine. My original diff had pins on her connector and my replacement had blates, swapped them over and it appears to be working fine. Just a couple of small bolts.

If they are pre and post facelift E30 sensors in an E30 diff., they are interchangeable - just different plugs. If the diff. or sensor is from something else, then check the length is correct.
