Default Would buying a used diff be ok?

Do honda differentials usually go bad? I think mine has sheared some of the spider gears and a local shop by me(Pacific Performance) has a few used B16 differentials that they could install. Should I go for it? I need my car to be running by the end of the week and I'd rather not take the chance of the part not showing up(UCF spring semester starts monday)

Also, will an ITR clutch disk work with an Exedy Pressure Plate? I'm asking because I'm gonna swap out my 6 puck sprung hub disk for an ITR clutch disk and use it with the Exedy PP that is already in my car. I'm thinking it was the 6 puck coupled with some hard launches that might've busted my diff.

Well, Pacific Performance is a Quaife dealer as well so the used diffs are probably from cars that have had the quaife diff installed by them. I just don't have the $800 to shell out for a Quaife.
