You mean like this?
I know acura and saab did this a lot I can't think of others.
Chrysler LHS is another. I think it's mostly packaging reasons and slightly cheaper to go transverse.

Gearbox ahead of longitudinal engine?

The b5 generation from VAG had the engine in front of the front axle. The transmission is a transaxle, so it's in fact worse than a transverse engine in terms of weight distribution. pic realted is where the axles go.

If, for some reason, this is to entertain converting a fwd to rwd. Just stop now. YOU can't do it. You can't afford it. It will never get done.
