<VV> torque converter?

[cfm]

Thank you. I would have never have guessed that (to take the shroud off). I have been down in the dumps since discovering this issue. Pulling the engine, I am not afraid of that, its just figuring out how to fix it once its out!
Thanks Frank, maybe there is hope, I'll attempt this technique.

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.
