Looking to buy a 3 month used fully built bts tranny from a friend. still is under warranty. he paid 4300 for it, and i offered 1000, my orginal 4r100 with 124000 miles on it and a stock used turbo. is this a good deal or am i getting my hopes up?

Welcome as well. Why is your friend selling it? For 1000 bucks, that's a steal.

If it's a true BTS build and only 3 months old, you are more than fine buying it. My tranny is nearly 3 1/2 years old and it still drives like the day I got it.

Unless Brian changed his T/C units, the Stallion T/C's are what he uses.

Brian will honor the warranty even if you aren't the original buyer. Do it!
