I think there was rumors of that years ago. I believe GM sold off part of Allison the heavy duty big bus tractor trailer devision I believe a few years ago.I don't recall who purchased it.

I highly doubt they would sell the 1000 series portion. This is a major selling factor and a big money maker for GM.

No no no Ford bought Cummins your confused. Therefore Toyota bought GM and Hyundai bought Nissan then there is a inside speculation that Pontiac and Saab are doing a JV with Honda on a Space Shuttle to explore Your-Anus !

It's a cluster phuck in automotive right now!

I didn't want to bring it up again sore subject. Cat was sold to Relentlesscummins with the one and only set of replacement Injectors for the LB7 Duramax.

Rumor has it Isuzu is Out and Cat will be the new motor in the HD GM pick up! Available only with a six speed hand shaker!

What about the GM half ton trucks? Maybe they'll have a Yanmar or John Deere diesel! Or even better.....a 2-stroke Detroit!

AISIN transmissions are 51% owned by Toyota. They originally were aligned with Borg-Warner.

AISIN is the now the largest producer of automatics in the world. Mostly for girly cars and pansy trucks.

Seems like they are hit or miss.... some being pretty solid like the A340 series. I think they build Subaru's autos too? at least the 4 speeds... the one in my company car has a spin on like an Allison (01 outback). The ones behind the WRX's could take massive HP with a TC and shift kit.

Anyone know who builds the auto they use int he Eclipse/Talons? Those things are pretty impressively tough as well. Some guys running 9's with just a TC!!!
