Story Time. 1981 W126 OM617 Auto Trans. Driving down the road, just got on the interstate get it up to 70mph and cruise for maybe 30 sec. All of a suddenly my MPH goes to 0 and my engine goes to idle and a slight vibration can be felt on the shifter. I flip on my hazards and pull over to the side of the road, trying to rev it and shift into ANY gear in attempt to make it work. Nothing. Pull over and look, attempting to see anything awry. Well I didn't blow a flex disc, no puddles, nothing dripping. Jack it up with the scary jack and crawl under, the driveshaft has seemingly pulled itself away from the output shaft. Odd. Call up a buddy who comes and hooks a tow strap up and tows me home (2 miles away) Jack it up, take it apart and the actual output shaft is fine, the splines are ok, but the nut that holds on the front flange, has just screwed itself off... WTF

So, since the nut came off, the front flange dropped down onto the output shaft and wore into the flange so the flange and the nut are both unusable..

I need these two parts ASAP.. anybody help?

In Seattle, WA if that means anything...
