^ You mean Aisin.
Alli 1000s in pickups set the bar for first good autos, especially behind diesels.
Yes everyone has stepped up since then, but, just like the Dmax, the Alli 1000 is largely unchanged since, oh, almost 20 years ago. Only other Diesel engine or trans that can say that is the Cummins.
Besides, any claims about other transmissions being better are not untrue, but comparing to the bench mark.
5 speed torq shift was as strong and almost as nice. 6 speed torq shift is just as good. And never drove an Aisin, but I'd take the old Alli in our LB7 over a 68 RFE.
