Whoever said loose converter gets the prize. Yup, the converter is loose on the flexplate! Check out the video below. One of the flexplate holes is elongated and the threads in one of the converter mounting feet are boogered up. Check out the mounting bolt from that hole.

I'll have to take a closer look at the flexplate itself to see if there's damage beyond that one bolt hole. What should I look for, it's hard to see in front of the converter?

Onward, party people! I'm just happy it's not in the engine.

Yay! That is about as happy an ending as we could hope for. Turbo69bird nailed the problem. So glad you found the issue, and shared the details.
