I pushed the disk on the shaft and drilled the clearance hole for the allen cap screw. It was not as nice as a carefully painted white bolt would have been but it held the beater mount back on. The ring gear had fallen out as well so I hammered it back in with a piece of wood and glued it with red loctite. The transmission lid and new gasket went on easily after digging out the broken piece of plastic that had stuck in the alignment hole. It works fine and does not show signs of self disassembly. All is well.
