Alright scroll down to 4f27e...
Does the 1st one only give the friction linings? the second one gives the clutches AND the steel bands in between right? and is the band the piece in the back around the reverse clutch drum? I'd rather find some of this info out before I sound like a retard on the phone lol.

I can tell you don't know what you are talking about yet- this is not an insult- I started out the same way. Yes, thats the band- the ONLY band is the one that grips the reverse clutch drum; those other "bands" are called separator plates or "steels".
Don't buy from transmissioncenter. Make your own kit.
That first kit is just the direct clutch Powerpack offered by Alto- this only addresses the direct clutch and is not a rebuild kit. The Powerpack gives you thiner steel separator plates so you can run 5 friction and steels indstead of three; thereby increasing the HP capacity. This kit is a must when rebuilding for higher HP.
The second kit doesn't even include the ruber bonded pistons- so stay away from that, but seems to have everthing else.
Here are all the parts I SUGGEST you buy to replaced all the wear parts in the transmission:
1.
Motorcraft part# MTKV-K4600-B - this kit includes all new pistoms, o-rings, gaskets, even the frictions and the steels, everything but the 2-4 band; or
MTK-46900-B (cheaper, but not sure if that kit has the bonded pistons). You will not use the frictions and steels from the master kit if you are also buying the upgraded Alto clutches.
Now for the frictions and steels, I sugest:
2.
Alto part# 133750AHPPWR - this includes all Red Eagle frictions and Kolene steels and also includes the direct clutch Powerpack upgrade
3.
Alto part# 133960 - this is an upgrade Red Eagle band that is not included in the other kits. Alto also offers these bands in "heavy duty wide- Red" and "heavy duty wide- kevlar" (part#s 133961, 133961K)
Here is the cost breakdown:
Motorcraft master rebuid kit $175
Alto part# 133750AHPPWR $175
Alto part# 133960 ~$20
Total cost $370
EnixStorm: you should really try to get one of the factory manuals before ordering parts, asking questions, etc. This will explain alot of things to you and in the end you are probably going to need the manual for the rebuild.
