JCS is infamous around these parts
As far as I know, the engine and automatic transmissions are built in Germany. The manual transmission in my 997 S was built in Japan.

Look at your car's invoice sticker . It shows where everything is from .

I believe it's made by Aisin who is responsible for supplying Toyota with the transmission for their small trucks.
