I would go with Racer X for Parts. Actually I DID! Give them a call. They have many more parts availible than what is on the website. They can also give advise if needed.
RACER X USA

BTS doesn't offer parts. Only complete transmission.

How hard is it to build/rebuild a transmission on your own anyway? With correct tools and parts on hand and the transmission already out for you. What are you looking at in time?
A little OT, but somewhat relative lol
Thanks

I found this kit is this a good deal

http://www.redrider.us/e4od_performa...missions_a.htm

#KE4OD. Build your own Level 4 Enforcer transmission. Fits all E4OD transmissions, 1989 on. You get all Red Eagle clutches and Kolene steels plus 4 Alto Power Packs. Red Eagle Power Packs and Kolene steels for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and overdrive. You also get a Transgo Shift Kit, power valve, overdrive spiral snap ring, 45 element sprag, triple clutch torque converter (#3D4/6 or #3G4/6) and our 300M input shaft. This price includes the overhaul kit, carbon fiber band and filter. Add molded pistons, bearings, thrust washers, solenoid pack, pump and pressure valve if needed. You save $160.00 or 10%. All of this for $1441.00.

yep, at a 1000hp a BTS only what $4 or $5 per HP? Its not an option for everyone.

Oh and for 1000HP you can have a RacerX trans for $3 to $4 per hp.
RacerX for ALL your transmission needs. DIY or Drop in!

Not that we don't like them its all comes down to dollars and cents.
(caution! another shameless plug)
RacerX builds transmission that will match a BTS
