what does that mean n dont bash me! no questions is a stupid question

 

Do you have a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission (transaxel)? Do you have a clutch pedal (manual) or not (automatic).

 

o ok tansaxel transmission thanks delete this before someone else see's it

 

Naw, no need to delete it. There might be someone else out there that has this same question!

 

Too late. Now what were you saying about Turbos and Superchargers, were needed to compete ?

 

Transaxle = Transmission + Axle in one unit. Front wheel drive cars have transaxles, raer wheel drive have transmissions with a seperate rear axle.

Not necessary. My Porsche 928S had the transmission in the rear so it also had a transaxle. I believe the C6 Corvette is the same way.

 

You are correct about the Porsche. The C5 and C6 Corvettes also have the rear transaxle. Another one was the Pontiac Fiero (front wheel drive engine and transaxle mounted in the rear). I should have said "most" rear wheel drive cars have a separate axle. Oh, well, that shows how absolute statements are seldom correct!

Another rear transaxle car is the 1961 - 63 Pontiac Tempest, it used a modified Corvair transaxle.
