Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone here has ever done, or has done some looking into, swapping in a transaxle. Ive tried to use the search function, but ive not come up with any results.
Theres a few reasons why I'm looking at doing this;
1. There's only 2 (maybe 3) options for transmissions with the engine I am using. This opens up other avenues.
2. It means I dont need an adapter plate to run a difderent transmission.
3. Better weight distribution.
Originally, I had thought about a transaxle from a corvette. That poses a few problems, mostly from size amd layout. It's quite long, with the output shafts located at the rear. This would put the front of the transmission, near the front seats. This would obviously require a lot of modifcation to the Floor pan, and not being able to have the rear seat at all.
The other idea is a Porsche transaxle, which is more compact, and the outputs are about midway in the body of it.
Thoughts? Experience?
