wont make any difference if you put the 5GTT tripod thing in as its the circlip grovve in the gearbox casing being worn which means it keeps popping out.

Change the whole gearbox for the 5GTT one, a lot of GTTs run far more power than a stock 16v and you dont hear of them spitting out the circlip.

stick it in gear and turn the input shaft, the diff should rotate nicely in all gears.

other than that fingers crossed, they are normally ok.

Unless you pour a load of rusty water out of it!
