Hey guys, got a question for you all. I'm almost positive that the trans that is in the evo is a japanese-built mitsu tranmission. Some doofus at work claims otherwise, that most u.s. car transes are built in the U.S. I need some proof to show that he's wrong so I can win the wager we've set. Anyone whom can chime in please do so!

what if its made by japanese but assembled in the U.S.of A?

 

If you can somehow get your hands on the window sticker for a VIII or IX, that will prove you are correct. Ask him how can the car be made in Japan, but the tranny is US built. They do not send it w/o the tranny and connect them once here.

 

Someone scan their original MSRP window sticker so this dude can win the arguement.

 

yeah whoever does should get a % of the wager haha

 

Thanks for the rampant replies. Yeah, he thinks they make the trans here, ship it there and slap everything together at the japan plant. I know he's wrong I just need to prove it to him. I bet even if I show him a window sticker he'll be like "thats what they want you to think, but the transes are really made here blah blah blah"

^^If that was his reply, I would just laugh and walk away^^ Ignorance is something I wouldn't waste time dealing with.

 

I'd like to see a window sticker since I don't have one because I bought the car used and the previous owner didn't leave it with the car.

 

If he starts saying that then this guy is clearly not worth ur time.

 

I have a guy at work just like that, every day its a new story, sigh.

 

Just punch him and while hes down, take his wallet

 

chuck norris would definetly round house kick this guy.

 

I should do that indeed, but rather provide some solid proff instead. Proving the shop foreman wrong is more important to me that punching him in his damned throat haha.

I'd appreciate scans of a window sticker!

There are plenty of vendors and subcontractors automobile manufacturers use. Aisin built/assembled the 6 speed used in the MR. I forgot who built the 5 speed. Have no idea where either was built.

 

Why not have him provide proof it IS built in the US?
