I would reverse the order of the generic arguments so T is first so
that it matches the declaration of an array: [T; N]

This function should not panic. I would rewrite it so that its signature is
pub fn push(&mut self, elem: T) -> Result<(), T>

I would replace both uses of transmute here with slice::from_raw_parts
like you did in drop. 

also it's not needed but you could also impl Deref and DerefMut for ArrayVec
because you have already impl'ed AsRef and AsMut so it should be simple

this is missing a safety comment
