Remember though that not all W126s have 210 mm diffs! I know for a fact that all of the M103 powered W126s had the 185 diffs, who knows what others may have them!

Thru model year 1985 (USA) the mounting for the 185mm and 210mm center piece (diff) is the same, and the two can be interchanged. Starting 1986 the R107 and W126 chassis' received a new mounting for the center piece, which precludes a direct bolt-in in the W123. However, the 1986-91 210mm internals can be installed in the earlier cases. |

Frank, was there ever a W123 that came stock with a 210 mm diff? If not there are several issues (besides the diff mounts themselves) that will need to be addressed before one could swap a 210 case into a W123. Please see these links below that I culled from a very long thread.
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/2852442-post108.html http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/2853882-post111.html In this case (no pun intended) the OP was able to overcome all of the issues only because he was swapping his 210 case into a W126, which, as we all know, had the 210 case installed stock in many of it's models. So he was able to just swap in the additional readily available factory parts that can be found just about anywhere used, as needed. I don't think this is the case (no pun intended) with the W123. (Barring some rare AMG hybrid of some sort.) Does the R107 have the same basic rear sub-frame as the W123? I seem to remember that the R107 was actually based on the W115/114. That is clearly evident in the front suspension.

Update on my situation
Going through the above vac diagram removing, cleaning and checking components seems to have helped no end.
Removed the vacuum control modulator attached to IP, cleaned and refitted. Overall these small improvements made a noticeable difference when backing off the bowden cable. Previously good shifts would have resulted in a sluggish response, now you have sensitive kick down together with upper range shifts when needed - perfect! The car is very usable without the worry of 'wallop' it';s going to shift, hard to put down to a single component though.
