Good idea, Paul - thanks. I was thinking I could also just put a piece of hose or something over the rest of the input shaft to prevent that half of the coupler from sliding again.
Either way, I'll have to take the motor off to do it. I may be doing that in the fall to do a bit more rust repair in the engine compartment, so until then I'll just keep an eye on it.

Funny story... here's how spiffy the car looks following its annual EV Expo spit 'n' polish: some guy asked me tonight if I'd gotten the car from "that guy who re-does Metros". Apparently he saw a TV news report about someone in Ottawa who fixes up and sells Metros. Has done something like 41 of them. I went looking for details but struck out.
