Trans build question
Trying to save some money and build my trans up. I would like to have a BTS or JW trans but shipping to Hawaii plus core would be out of the question. What parts would I need? Do I need a new pump? New gears? Which clutches? I don't know so please help me out.

I would call the guys at racerx. They sell kits to rebuild the trans with much better parts than stock. That's a pretty good run with the stock trans at 468hp. I wonder what it would have laid down with a better trans!

When I was looking I liked the racer x kit because it actually increased the number of clutches in the trans. I would think that's a good thing but I am by no means a trans expert. Also I would look into getting a new or high flow pump and triple disc converter

I don't know if BTS or JW sells kits that's why I said "Why not try". It's certainly worth a phone call or email. Both put in all kinds of upgraded hard parts.

I used the Suncoast Extreme Duty Master Rebuild Kit. It has increased count clutch Alto Red Eagle packs with hardened teeth. Be sure you use the ones with the hardened teeth. I have seen some substantial wear on the non-hardened ones, even with those packs that had more discs. I went with the 4 disc coast clutch drum also.
Shoot me an PM, if you want a list of the parts I used. I also used other parts from various vendors.
