Longitudinal Transaxles
Longitudinal Transaxles
(OP)
I've done alot of looking and can't seem to find who manufactures longitudinal transaxles for automotive applications. It doesn't matter to me whether the gearbox is longitudinal or transverse I'm just trying to get better answers then Renault, Porsche, Volkswagen, Mendeola, and Forton (forgive me if I misspell)? I appreciate the help.

Hewland does modified VW boxes and ZF do transaxles for the likes of Ferrari.

Isn't it more-or-less a transaxle?

What this means is that the transaxle is too long (tranny/engine flange to ouput shaft distance) to be used for Mid-engine layouts...If thats what yer' thinkin :)

In the Corvair heyday folks were putting V-8 power thru the later (1966 and up) 4 speeds after adding a few extra spider gears. Posi was available, but the ratios are kind of wacky
