See my signature ?
The flex plate(s) often cracks around the bolt circle...sometimes free wheeling the engine.....most times coming loose enough to 'clank' at idle, but jamb up under load......Wonder how
I know this ?
The T/C bolts breaking loose is not the flex plate cracking....different problem.
Besides...why should it destroy the T/C ? Center nose still registers in the flywheel/crank bore ...sorry...I've only bin doing this for 45 years...seems I have a lot to learn.
Didn't SAY this WAS the problem....just a suggestion
See below....

My apologies....I have a problem with people who use
superlatives.
