I got this paragraph from an article posted on the 99 BB. I was written by a guy named Chris Hartman. The whole article is linked below.
"A unique feature of the 99 powertrain, is the fact that the transmission is placed underneath the engine, with the clutch mounted at the front, and differential mounted at the rear. Conventional wisdom would have the engine placed well ahead of the front wheels, with a transmission bolted at the back, but one could only imagine the side-effects such a front-heavy layout would have on the weight distribution and overall feel and balance of the car."
