First, a brief presentation. A motor (or engine, if you prefer) drives a transmission (different "gears" or drive ratios) which drives some kind of differential to drive the axles (which drive the wheels) of a vehicle. The transaxle combines the functions of the transmission and differential to deliver the engine power to spin the axles. There are a lot of different transaxles, as you can imagine. The VW's from back in the day used them. So did (and do!) a lot of race cars. Use the link for pictures. There are a bunch of them. Not all are automotive, which is good because the transaxle isn't just limited to vehicles, though most of our encounters with transaxles are in cars.
