I was pondering making the shaft to plate joint a press fit. I think it would be relatively easy to get the size for round part of the hole figured out, but I wonder what the tolerance is on the flats on the shaft. If they vary by more than a thousandth of an inch, it would be challenging to get a reliable fit.

It would be really nice from the viewpoint of the wear we are seeing....I know in automotive transmissions, once splines start to get loose, they wear out quickly.
