I believe the entire driveline was not allowed to be sold, but I may be wrong.

The engines had to be seized, but I don't think the parts yards are allowed to sell any part of the driveline at all. They can also only part the cars for 180 days. Moot point, since most yards have their own limits which are either at or close to 180 days anyway. (Shelf life).
