You should be fine with the Aisin. They were the OE manufacturer for a lot of makes.
Reviews of AISIN parts For Business
Japan
For the Montero, you’ll definitely want to purchase OEM replacements where possible. Lots of failures have been reported from people purchasing aftermarket replacement parts. For timing belt job you DEFINITELY need to to go OEM or AISIN kit only.
I bought the AISKIN TKT021 from Rockauto in 2016, 50k miles ago. It include everything including bearings and has been fine.
Brand new Aisin clutch kit from autozone
Aisin is definitely a go to.
Aisin makes a great kit, used to be the oem supplier for Honda from what I’ve heard. Plus you can get them from rock auto.
For the whole kit, Aisin or OE, nothing else.
I have been very pleased with the 6-speed automatic transmission from Aisin. This car just passed 110,000 miles. Even with sometimes aggressive daily driving over the last 7 years this drivetrain has required no repairs and still seems to perform about as well as it did the first year.
The MZ V6 won't die, unless you overheat it or timing belt failure. It is an interference engine, do the timing belt! An aisin kit is the only way to go, about $150
The OEM Aisin thermostat opens at 185, staying completely closed until 180 where it can open up partially allowing proper circulation and proper temperature control. The engineers at Nissan designed this cooling system to function in a certain way at very specific temps. ONLY USE THE AISIN 185 OEM thermostat in these trucks.
