Jatco makes bad transmissions? Scotty ranks Asian brands

Scotty ranks Asian brands

Nissan owns the Jatco transmission company
 "Japanese Automatic Transmission COmpany"

”And they make some of the crapiest transmissions in the world. Now other companies have bought them in the past. But if you look at it now. A lot of this companies are switching over to the Aisin Japanese transmissions, which is the company that Toyota owns.” – Scotty Kilmer
“I worked on a Volvo the other day, it had an Aisin Toyota Transmission in it.” – Scotty Kilmer

I Ranked All Asian Car Brands from Worst to Best


Scotty Kilmer ranking

1. Toyota. "They fix their problem. So that they are known for cars that if theres a problem they take care of it, they fix it. And then they learn; "okey we are not going to make them like that now""
2. Honda.
3. Mazda. "Lately Mazda quality been going way up. Mazda and Toyota now have some deals going togheter. They are making cars in the same semiline here in the United States."
4. Hyandai / Kia. "Yeah they are separate companies but they are like octopus all intertwined."
5. Subaru, "Problem with Subaru was they have these boxer engines that are outdated engines. And to get more horsepower of them they zoom them up. And then they blow up. They notorious for blowing headgaskets and burning out automatic transmissions. Now Subaru build all their own transmissions now, they are going up, in quality. Better than they used to be."
6. Mitsubishi "quality isn't the greatest", "used cheap piston rings and they seem to be continuing doing that."
7. Nissan (quality gone bad since Renault bought them)
8. Suzuki
