Heh, all this hatin' on Aisin...well deserved from some applications I suppose.

My experience is different. Aisin built the extremely reliable and tough R154 Turbo 5-speed transmission for the Supra Turbo, as well as its little brother the W58. While the W58 couldn't hold nearly the same power (like, anywhere close), it was never designed to. It also built the 4-speed auto version for both the 3rd gen Supra N/A and 3rd Gen turbo. I have experience with both, and both were not only reliable for those day and age auto transmissions, but they were both still some of the smoothest and fastest shifting Torque Converter auto transmissions I've ever used.

Frankly I'm not worried.
