i can't figure it out. my first guess is that it's a porsche G50, but it doesn't quite look like one.

its definitally a porsche trans or mabe a scooby one but arnt they the same thing?

 

my other guess is that it could be something like a hewland mounted upside down, but if that were the case, then they are selling that car CHEAP. (they are, regardless, cause you know it cost WAY more than $22.5k to produce that).

 

Um, could it be the tranny that the 3.2 came attatched to? The legend is a front wheel drive with a longitudinally(sp?) mounted engine.

 

the legend has a transmission and a separate differential, not a transaxle.

there is a short layshaft that goes to the side of the engine. the differrential is located underneath the crankcase. if it had a transaxle the engine would have to stay entirely in front of the axle centerline and the car would have a rediculously long front overhang (not to mention poor handling from an insanely high polar moment of inertia).


the transaxle doesn't look like the photos of a G50 that i have seen, nor does it look like a hewland. in a quick search i haven't been able to find a quaife that looks like that either.

im pretty certain it is not a 924 or 944 transaxle because those are cable-shift. perhaps it's a 928 transaxle, or are those cable shift, too?

another possibility is that it is an air-cooled VW transaxle?

 

I don't follow ya, but ok. After proving that i don't know shit about transaxles.....i thought the 944 had the tranny attatched to the back of the engine and not seperated by a drive shaft.

 

the 924, 944, 968, and 928 all had rear-mounted transmissions. it's a big reason for their handling balance. they all have near 50/50 weight distribution (something like 51/49)
