An update for those who were interested:

My clattering LWFW was finally quieted last night.  After the techs added 3
quarts of tranny fluid upon install, it seemed full after a series of
topping off efforts.  Nope.  Took almost a full 4th quart using Rossato's
Swedish Penis Pump filler.  Idle clatter is minimized (but still there a
bit), and bogged 2nd-5th clatter is WAY less notable.  

Most interestingly, don't know how there is a correlation (Bueller?)...  1st
/ reverse CLUTCH chatter is all but gone now, just a hair in reverse.  Odd.
Hadn't driven car in a week due to radiator replacement, finished that late
last night, shifts, clutches, drives like a dream.  I'll take it.  Now I'll
only swear at SPEC's service, not their product I suppose.

Maybe it was remedied by all that coolant spewing from that upper radiator
hose I must have perforated during my 1 a.m. install completion last
night... d'oh.  So what's another day off the road and another $100...  YAY
for me!
