Ian,
My understanding is that the transmission would require a complete
rebuild and no one seems to be interested in taking that on. Would an
auto transmission shop do it, don't know.
Nevertheless, the owner bought a new Yarmar engine and transmission and
is back in the water.
Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of such a thing.....a Yanmar
engine where there is no available transmission to fit it?
And the owner says he has a Yanmar 3 cylinder with 200 hours on it and
who is going to buy it with no available transmission?

Rob,
Others will probably want more details on the engine or transmission
before they can answer your question with accuracy, but I will say
having been an (aircraft) mechanic, might be worth looking at a newer
transmission from the same series and having an adaptor plate made to
fit the new transmission to the existing engine, if what the mechanics
are saying is true. However with the popularity of yanmars, its hard
for me to imagine that the failing transmission couldn't be fixed
somehow especially if the problem doesn't require a complete rebuild.
Sounds like a job the mechanics may just not want to take on. My .02.
Perhaps others have more direction.

A club member has a 2012 Tartan 37 with a 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel
....I
don't know the transmission type....he bought it in 2014 ....got a
good
deal then on price....the engine now has 200 hours but just after he
launched 6 weeks ago, his transmission failed....marine diesel
contractors (3 of them) said transmission could not be
repaired.....so
he needs a new transmission.
Wrong, he is informed by all 3 diesel mechanics and Yanmar, that
there
is not a transmission available to match his Yanmar engine. So guess
what, he has to buy a new engine and transmission.
Has anyone ever heard of this where there is no transmission to fit a
Yanmar?
