Where is the transmission located on a Lamborghini Diablo?

I've asked this question of mechanics and gotten three different replies. So; what is the layout of the engine, transmission and final drive on this car?|||Let a big girl answer this one. Little boys don't have access to these cars.





The engine in the Diablo is mounted backwards behind the driver in unit with the transmission and the final drive (differential). The transmission runs forward under the centre console and the gearshift lever is attached directly to it. The final drive from the transmission goes back through the engine sump to the rear diff - and a set off transfer gears sends power to the front wheels via a carbon fibre drive shaft.





Lamborghini is the only car company to use this configuration at this time. My old boyfriend used to drive a Diablo. These cars suck out loud.
