been reading alot about old alfettas and gtvs with a bit of porsche from that era(928s,944s and 968s) and so far i've read that they either grind the gears or oil starve and grenade themselves. i haven't read much more into it other than that since theres so many but were there any cars with the front engine rear transaxle layout that were reliable enough with proper maintenance

EDIT: whats the aftermarket transaxle scene like, i rarely see videos of these transaxles from companies like pfitzner or weddle in videos or have them being used or shown in videos other than marketing material.
