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!
