tell them what you’ve got, intended use and they will put together the parts you will need, and advise as to what might be overkill and unnecessary etc. Not a “kit” but more a “parts YOU need” deal

I don't use kits that come with "everything". I buy a gasket, rubber, and ring kit, then a Kevlar front band and five smooth thin red eagles for third gear. New OEMs for forward. From there it's selective thrusts, any hard parts, and a Transgo kit clone. Oh and a blocked acc; in the spring..

Do you have sources or part numbers for these individual kits that you're willing to share?

 

[CudaFactHackJob]

Sure, it's no secret. I'll get the numbers for the kit and also for the kevlar band and Red Eagle .061 frictions.

There are two numbers on the .061 Red Eagles I put in the direct clutch. 225720 & 028742; about $7.50 ea. I can add one extra friction by going thin like this; 4 in a 3 plate drum and 5 in a 4 plate drum. But I put 5 in all of them by using a forward clutch beveled bottom pressure plate in the top of the direct pack in a 3 plate drum. I use a basic overhaul kit that contains no steels or frictions; I buy them separately as needed. This kit has all gaskets and seals and rings; the heavy duty direct rings that a lot of kits don't have. Brand name is 'Precision" #KP22950DL-MD; about $40. Kevlar bands are the green friction material about $20. Don't buy a truckload of parts type of kit thinking you're just "going to replace everything"; no such thing. I've looked at all the links provided off and on and haven't found a single one. "Transmission in a Box" doesn't exist.
