A gearbox mount is designed to attach a gearbox to the elements of the car body. It is a rubber-metal article that absorbs vibration and noise very well.
5 tips on how to use and replace it
The car part should be replaced when it gets out of order. Its service life isn’t limited and largely depends on the driving behaviour.
In order to extend the service life of the part, you should avoid accelerating too sharp.
It is recommended to check the condition of the gearbox mount at each scheduled maintenance. If you notice some oil or coolant on the surface of the part, they should be removed, and the surface should be dried with a clean cloth. That’ll prevent the rubber from losing its elasticity.
The components should be replaced by competent specialists from an automotive repair shop. Incorrect mounting might lead to the premature failure of the parts themselves and negatively affect the performance of transmission elements in general.
When mounting the spare, its fasteners should be tightened up only after the car is taken down off the lift. While performing the works it is preferable to use a torque wrench.
Malfunctions of a gearbox mount, their causes and symptoms
Cracks and other mechanical damage. They can be caused by a car accident or by small stones hitting the part when the car is moving. The breakdown manifests itself in jerks when changing gears, and in noise when pressing the accelerator pedal.
Deformation or cracking of the rubber insert, its detachment from the metal base. These defects occur when the car is exposed to significant mechanical and thermal loads. Besides, the condition of the rubber element can be negatively affected by oil or antifreeze getting onto it because of a leakage. The signs of the breakdown are: strong vibration transmitted to the car body and increasing as the car accelerates, jolts when starting the engine, knocks on the gearshift lever.
