Loose transmission tone ring nut?

[jpowl]

I'm pretty sure this nut is the issue I've been trying to track down. Before I pull the drive shaft loose, what is the torque setting for the bolts that connect the drive shaft to the flange?

I used this (4 bolt flange) and haven’t had a problem after having over a dozen track days so far.

Welp, nut was loose by 1/2 turn. It was really easy to tighten the first little bit.
Curiously there was green paint on the flange and nut and they looked like they were aligned that way. Now the paint on the nut is opposite. Hoping this solves my issue. I’ll go for a drive later and find out.

The loose nut would be accompanied by cruise control not working.

Finally got to take the car for a spin since tightening the nut. Hooray! My hesitating and surging is gone!

Good to hear you were able to fix the issue and all is well!
