It's been a long time since I've been inside a transmission, but I know that in some domestic slush boxes the tailshaft can be serviced with the transmission in the car. Typically the tails haft or rear housing can be removed, exposing the part. What will determine this is how it connects to the rest of the transmission....
You might want to consider calling Sun Valley Transmissions and seeing if they might have the part, too. Since they are an MB transmission rebuilder, it's possible they had a used one laying around.
