In the automotive field, a transaxle is a major mechanical component that combines the functionality of the transmission, the differential, and associated components of the driven axle into one integrated assembly. Front-engine, rear-wheel drive vehicles tend to have the transmission up front just after the engine, but sometimes a front engine drives a rear-mounted transaxle. This is generally done for reasons of weight distribution, and is therefore common on sports cars. Another advantage is that as the driveshaft spins at engine speed, it only has to endure the torque of the engine, instead of that torque multiplied by the 1st gear ratio.

The rally roll cage is complete and the Porsche is now officially a Rally car! Big thanks to Thompson Racing Fabrication for building the most epic roll cage I have ever seen!

Today is the last day that we set our sights on the interior of the 944, continuing to tear it out with reckless abandon! No need to remove the interior gently, as this car is going full-race and never going back! Because racecar!

In order to remove the gas tank, you have to remove the transaxle. This video is a continuation from that process. I removed the fuel filter, fuel pump, fill tube and vent hoses, and also removed both straps and both mounting bolts. However, because my exhaust is rusted and won’t come out, I was unable to get the gas tank to drop out. Meh. FAIL.

Sometimes incorrectly referred to as a transmission, the Porsche 944 transaxle is a fairly good piece of engineering. However, in order to remove my gas tank, I have to remove the transaxle. So, yeah, that sucks.

Some models of the Porsche 944 have this annoying metal/plastic/rubber trim piece around the windshield, that makes it nearly impossible to cut away the sealant. So… We used a couple chisels, and some pry bars, and, yeah, no more windshield. Haha.

Today we set our sights back on the interior of the 944, and continue tearing it out with reckless abandon! No need to remove the interior gently, as this car is going full-race and never going back! Because racecar!
