Re: Rear mounted gearboxes?

A good question actually - it should be included, as it gives a way better weight distribution for sporty cars.

Transaxle AND awd/4wd.
The RS200 even had a lever that selected between 50/50, 25/75, 0/100 awd modes. Mecanical, no computors.

Re: Rear mounted gearboxes?
There is also something else, some of the cars also mounted the clutch with the gearbox, (Alfa Romeo, latest Corvette?), others with the engine.
