As far as Aisins (AS69RC) taking a beating and holding together well this guys is probably the best example I've seen online so far:

Randy Reyes (owner) of Randy's Transmission:

~70K miles at ~650hp/1,300lb-ft and looked pretty good inside (he said). You guys can (and should) look through his Instagram for videos of him using (beating on) this truck- he did not treat it softly at all. He notes that sometimes shifts do get funky with the added power, but manually shifting it somewhat alleviates that.

Seems like a pretty good testimony for the durability of the Aisin transmission...or maybe it's just luck and he's got rabbits' feet and four leafed clovers coming out the yin yang... Hopefully not the latter.

Note: I don't know if he (Randy) is a member of CompD and in no way do I speak for him or his business in any capacity, I hope it's cool posting about some else's vehicle. I thought it could be interesting and/or useful to you guys.
