Angular distributions of differential cross section and vector analyzing power have been measured for the ${}_{}{}^{26}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mg}$${(}^6$Li→${,}^7$Li${)}^{25}$Mg reaction at 60 MeV bombarding energy. Finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation calculations were found to reproduce much of the structure of the data, although the predictions were approximately 3° out of phase with the data. Finite-range coupled-channels Born approximation calculations including inelastic excitations in ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ and ${}_{}{}^7{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$, using coupling schemes derived from elastic scattering analyses, modified the predictions only slightly and did not remove the phase discrepancy.
