Check the idle hole in the TB blade. If it is enlarged, I can almost guaranty that is the problem. My car's idle was all over the place when I put my ported TB in... then I swapped the blade from my stocker and everything went back to normal. Also check the vacuum line on the top left of the TB, sometimes it doesn't seat right.

I totally agree. A larger t.b. might also because of less velocity which would be less load the pcm would recognize and there for command less line pressure which could smoke the trans.

porting the stock MAF is bad, but de-screening is not

Why? Why would a ported MAF have an effect on a tranny?

Clutch in sooner.
