I take it not many 5 speed folks have had a differental problem, I havent with mine but I dont put that many miles on.
I dont think there is any differance in the W123, auto transmission, and 4 speed (or 5) manual cars, in regard to differental problems. I realize we are talking two WAY different cars, plus "gasser & diesel, but I had thought anyone with a 123 5 speed (or 4 spd) woulda chimed in.
