Is it necessary to machine a coupling from scratch? It must be possible to find something that fits the motor splines. Surely a motor doesn't exist that nothing fits that the motor could drive. The center cut from a clutch disk could serve as the transmission end of the coupling. It seems two coupling halves could made and joined.
Can the Insight transmission tolerate being driven at 10,000 rpm?
