Update to my BTS thread:-(
Well the laws of nature says I can not have my BTS
Things happen fast around here.
So now I am doing it myself. I ordered a master rebuild kit. The OD clutch drum and planetaries are shot, heres a pic.
I will have to order new ones, any suggestions on where to order from are welcome.

I would call John Wood or BTS and ask about what parts and where to get them if not from them.

I have bought a few parts from these guys on ebay - FORD 4R100 TRANSMISSION STEEL REAR PLANET 6 PINION | eBay
They are used parts but the price is right. They also have a full spline C6 forward drum for $39.
Who did you buy the master kit from?

I've just got to ask. Every time someone throws up a trans thread, it's all "get a BTS". It's been quite awhile, but last time i talked with Brian he was 6 months out. Needless to say had no choice but to go with a local build. I'm sure things have changed, but at that point it was buy a BTS before your trans goes out or get in line and wait for your build. Just curious, no bashing whatsoever. Sorry for the hijack.

I got the kit from Online Transmission Parts discount parts, kits, shift kits, coolers it was the extreme duty kit, comes with transgo kit, T/C and a HD cooler. I found them on the site I got my manual from.
Once I got into pulling it apart, it didnt seem to bad of a job.
Since this is my frist rodeo at rebuilding a trans it will be a slow process.

Would be interested in knowing who makes the clutches for that kit. Roland had issues with the first kit that he used. Not a bad price since it comes with the TC and cooler.

No real clue on the cause, but no mechanical diode. The OD clutchs were worn down to bare metal. I never felt it sliping though. Everything else looked in pretty good shape, oh the rear carrier had some small stress cracks so it will be replaced also.
Darrell they are Alto clutchs.

No no, I'm just not good at wording myself. I have no doubt of the brute strength of the BTS Trans. I guess I was just curious as to what the wait was. A week shipped to you is great, 6 months not so much. I would love to have a BTS in the truck, but we waited until the stocker went out before looking into getting another and that kind of down time wasn't gonna cut it. So if you can get one that quick that's great, otherwise I would suggest to get the big bad BTS tranny BEFORE yours goes out.
