Hi Robert,
For what it's worth I put an AW71 from a '90 740 turbo in my '84 240 turbo, and the tailshaft housing swap only added about 10 minutes to the job. Flange nut comes off, yank the flange out, unbolt the housing, slide that off. You'll slide a spacer off the tailshaft of the new tranny, slide your speedo drive gear off the old one and drop it on the new one. Reassemble. You'll want to use whichever flange has less of a groove from the seal. The only complication is if the gasket sticks and tears apart, necessitating careful scraping and cleanup. Fortunately my replacement appeared to have a new gasket already, installed without any messy sealant. BTW - have you tried a flush and fresh fluid yet? Many claim to have experienced near-miracles from simply doing that - I can't count myself among the lucky ones, but it's worth a try first.
