[QUOTE="LTNBOLT, post: 6266394, member: 128"] Who told you that about BTS?:dw: BTW, I have the LFP Art Carr kit in my tranny. It is a nice kit and the pressure plate design is much better than the Monster Box Kit. The AC kit just cuts back the outer edge of the pressure plate (enough for the snap ring to fit) for better strength where the MB kit shaves the whole pressure plate thinner to add the extra clutches. This lets the pressure plate flex in the MB kit prematurely wearing out the outer edge of the clutches and not wearing the inner edge. The BTS tranny is not a kit. Brian has several parts reengineered using pressure plates that are at least 1 1/2 times thicker than stock. His transmissions can not be compared to others because he does so much in the way of part changes that a kit with an extra clutch or two here and there with relieved pressure plates can't be remotely called equal. Dealerjim has a BTS tranny and I have seen the pics he took of the MB kit that was taken out along with the new BTS parts that went in. Jimmy watched the build and it is staggering to say the least at the difference in parts that are used and the amount of them. Brain takes a different approach to get more clutches in than those kits do and he adds parts that strengthen the tranny from front to rear. This description might seem a little vague but I promised Jimmy that I would not give away Brian's trade secrets. Bottomline is that his transmissions are not more expensive because he is overpriced. He just has that much more parts wise in them. Jimmy and I have wanted to post this for years but never could because of all the Factory Tech nutswingers and supporting vendor status on most of the boards. Now you know the truth of why so many Monsterbox transmissions and MB kits failed prematurely. The pressure plate design sucked bigtime. There, I finally got to say it and Jimmy has the pics to prove it. It always amazed me when a person that paid a good penny for his MB tranny and then pay $300 R&R plus $300 shipping when the POS failed in a year would praise Gregg for his great customer service if he fixed it. I saw it time an time again but it seemed like nobody caught on. When Jasper came into the picture along the way people use to blame it on them ever though people would post about their failed MB tranny that Gregg had built. NEWSFLASH: Jasper never was the problem. Now, talk amongst yourselves. ;-) [/QUOTE]
