Attero Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 What do you guys think of aisin parts. Been recommended to purchase an aisin clutch as it is "OEM quality" for much cheaper. I was told they actually manufacture OEM toyota parts. I'm sure you guys know or thing or two about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Aisin manufacturer brake calipers for Toyota, not sure if they also produce their clutches. OEM Toyota clutches are not that expensive from memory, what is the difference in price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Without discount, Toyota want about £360. Can get an Aisin one for about £230. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ring Steve manley Luke, for the difference in price by the time discount is done you may aswell have oem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 But I'm asking if Aisin is OEM. No point paying the extra amount if im getting the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Aisin certainly produce the oil pumps, water pumps and clutches for Toyota as standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I get you, who told you they are 'oem quality'? In my experience garages will normally say that to get you to buy blue print items. Maybe give Toyota a call and ask them direct, I guess they would know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Blyth Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've got a stock 6-speed pressure plate (bought from Toyota) in front of me and it's stamped AISIN if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yeah. The guy said it was manufactured for toyota and couldn't quite work out if he meant for them or for toyota cars as a non-OEM. If I can clarify this, I might as well go with Aisin. Apparently Toyota just slap a large price tag on it. If so... this is certainly an interesting new development for me. Shame as I just spent a bomb diggity on a water pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Just explored this further. Aisin is a manufacturer owned by Toyota. Aisin built the w58. I'm fairly confident that this is the way forward without paying Toyota's high prices but for the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Certainly saves a few. I've been buying OEM parts without the Toyota stamp and price tag for years except in certain situations when you have no choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
