who makes the transmission and why are they using the Japanese transmission. I don't think it really makes a difference to me, but just curious to know more and the history of this.

u know the turbos are made in JP as well. u know the tip box in 996 is made by Mercedes. no big deal as long as it drives like Porsche i guess.

if u dig into it u'll be hard to sleep tonight... btw, the hood crest u got is made by Porsche... in China!

 

The Cayenne transmission is made by Aisin in Japan. I wouldn't worry about the transmission, they make a majority of the Toyota/Lexus transmissions.

 

I am not worried at all. I just wanted to know for my basic knowledge. I bought the car because the way it drove. And when I test drove the car, it had the same transmission, so no biggie for me.

Toyota is a very reputable company and I think it will only help the reliablity of the car by adding the Toyota tranny.

:-)

thanks for the answer.

 

I think its better that they are made in Japan otherwise it will have more problems...

 

the question is...what moron wrote the program for shifting, PSM and the like?

 

Probably the one who is getting paid 3x or 4x more than you and I.

 

Aisin Transmission is in the Phillipines

 

oh damn, the thread keeps going down.
what' snext. lol
hahah. it's all kewl.
but a funny one indeed.

 

Porsche Panorama has a neat article on how many components on a Porsche are subcontracted out. There's even a list of the components and vendors.

There's no official number, but it looks like 20%-30% of our cars are made of 3rd party parts.
