<VV> torque converter?

[Frank DuVal]

Check the flex plate to torque converter bolts. There are three. You 
remove the forward engine shroud piece (the one the fuel lines and 
accelerator rod goes through). Then there is a small plate right on top 
of the belhousing that pops off.

If this is not it, time to remove the engine or drop drivetrain and 
investigate.

All looks good, put it back on. Then suspected a chipped, worn or broken tooth on the flywheel and reviewed the wheel using a slotted screwdriver and rotating it via the access hole in the PG housing. and nothing unusual.
