Road trip with a failing starter

No, it's Japanese. Aisin-Warner. If I understand the lineage, Aisin started as a partnership with Borg Warner, then split off shortly after the AW-4 and its relatives (more or less the same tranny on some Toyotas) were designed. So it appears we have the best of both worlds. Borg Warner design and Japanese quality control.

I always figured it was engrish for Asian-Warner :huh:

It's often misprinted that way, but it's almost right even so.

Aisin makes a lot of transmissions for EVERYONE. The only Fords that don't seem to have transmission problems have Aisin transmissions. Same with Chrysler - the Cherokee was the only one that didn't have an auto transmission that would blow up before 100k.
