Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Transaxle shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Transaxle offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Transaxle at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Transaxle? Wrong! If the Transaxle is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Transaxle then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Transaxle? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Transaxle and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Transaxle wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Transaxle then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Transaxle site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Transaxle, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Transaxle, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

A transaxle, in the automotive field, is a component that combines the functionality of the transmission (mechanics), the differential (mechanics) and the drive axle into one integrated assembly. Transaxles are near universal in all automobile configurations that have the engine placed at the same end of the car as the driven wheels: the FF layout, RR layout and MR layout arrangements.

Many MR layout and RR layout vehicles use a transverse engine and transaxle, similar to a front wheel drive unit. Others use a longitudinal engine and transaxle like Ferrari's 1989 Ferrari Mondial#t which used a "t" arrangement with a longitudinal engine connected to a transverse transaxle, a design the company continues to this day.

FR transaxles FR layout 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. This design was pioneered in the 1950 Lancia Aurelia, and was conceived by the legendary Vittorio Jano. Earlier vehicles had used similar designs, including the 1914 Stutz Bearcat.

Since this placement of the gearbox is unsuitable for a live axle (due to excessive unsprung weight)), the rear suspension is either Independent suspension or uses a de Dion tube (notably in the Alfa Romeos).

Notable FR layout vehicles with a transaxle design include:

• 1914-1939 Stutz Bearcat
• 1950-1958 Lancia Aurelia
• 1961-1963 Pontiac Tempest
• 1964-1968 Ferrari 275
