Best Answer

The 1963 and earlier Tempests used a transaxle similar to the one used in the Chevy Corvair. The transmission and left and right rear axles are a single subassembly. What is unusual is that the Tempest's engine was in the front of the car and the transmission was in the rear. It was more common for rear engine cars, such as the VW Beetle, Porsche, and Corvair to use a transaxle.

The 1987 Pontiac formula 350 with the 5.7 TPI v-8 that only came in the automatic transmission had roughly just over 13,000 made. The GTA had roughly 11,000.
