The big question, already asked, is how much torque and what RPM?  

If you have low torque and low ROM, just hose clamp a stiff, wire reinforced
hose on both ends.  It's been done before.

   current project is  attaching a gear drive to a shaft...

the output shaft of the gear drive is 3/4" and keyed
the other shaft is smooth and 1-9/16" diameter.

or course they have to be coupled end to end

I think what I'm looking for is a 'motor coupler"  but can't seem to find
one
that is female on each end.  The 1-9/16" shaft is permanent and unmovable...
I'll have to fabricate a mount for the gear drive so it can be anywhere...

do they make a female/female-keyed coupler in my sizes that you don't have
to
be The Donald to buy ???  suppliers ???  other suggestions

thanks
John
