I've always wanted to do this ;)
BZZZTTT! Wrong!
The '78 uses a different slave, the bolt holes don't line up. I spent probably
an hour under the car trying to make it work. '78 is indeed a 123, I think they
started in '77 but its got some transitional elements, the throttle pedal
actuates on the wrong side of the engine for instance...
You're right that the later 123 clutch slave is the same as the 201 but the
EARLY 123 uses the same as the 115 which is different. To see this in action go
to Rusty's site and look up a '75 240D, a '78 240D (which shows both) and an
'85 190D.

I have mixed and matched slave cylinders from all kinds of w123's with
no ill effect. They should all be the same. If you have a longer one it
is from the v8 as the bellhousing placement pull its further away.
Infact right now I believe both the slave and master on my 123 are from
201. I assume the 78 is a 123? All 123 pedal assemblies mix and match as
well.
