Transaxles are mostly in small vehicles where the engine sits sideways under the hood. The transaxle would always sit behind the engine block on the driverside. The transaxle is sometimes a 8, 10, 12 bolts mounted to the engine block along with a flywheel (automatic) or compressed clutch plate (manual). The transaxle itself can contain over 100 to 1,000 parts.
