My pop suggested I could have a machine shop drill through the flange and the output shaft and put a big, tough bolt through to keep 'em moving together. Could this work? I'm not really interested for myself, too bootleg, but maybe for selling the transmission?

I took those pics 2 years ago when I dismantled the 716.210 manuel tranny on the 1983 240D. I thought it could be helpfull to some people...

Two pics of the tranny on the car, and also two pics where we can see the 3 holes for the shifters.

Also, a "funny" picture of the drain hole before the rebuilt. We can see the broken synchro brass ring...

Looks very tight between transmission shaft output seal and backside of Tri-flange.....

Don't know if a drilled hole with bolt and nut could fit in there without hitting the transmission seal/housing.....

Surely there must be a dead 4 speed with a good output shaft someone on the forum could part with.....
