I think you may need to support the Transmission and drop the Steel Plate that that Transmission Mount attaches to in order to see the front of the Flex Disc unless you are can see well with a Mirror.

There is also a Centering Bearing on each end of the Drive Shaft in the Middle of the Flex Discs but not attached to them. I don't know how to inspect them on the Car.

One of mine in the Pics below. They were not making noise but I saw cracks on the Rear one so I checked the front also.

Notice that on one side you can see the Chords of the Disc showing around the Washers.

I replaced them with Lemförder/Lemfoerder/Lemforder Flex Discs.

Since the Drive Shaft was dropped I inspected the Centering Bearings and they looked OK but the Grease was all dried up so I put some Wheel Bearing Grease inside and reused them.

During the Inspection none of the Bolts and Nuts going through the Flex Disc should be loose. If any are loose it could also be the Holes on the Yoke are elongated.
