On my car the output flange was bolted directly to the driveshaft through the flex disc. In other words the flex disc was only used as a spacer but not as a decoupler. So 3 screws were used only to fill the remaining holes in the disc :-) I assume that vibration and shear forces made the nut of the output flange came loose.

You may want to check your car if the previous owner/service messed it up, too.

Thank you for your quick support !
I am happy it is a simple, and relatively cheap repair.
I will be happier when you are done, and cruising down the road with

Have a great day.
