What is Transmission Mount?

 There are many technical parts in the vehicles. Each of these parts has a different feature and is in an irreplaceable position in the vehicle. One of these parts is the transmission mount. The transmission mount is a part that supports the transmission. Among its duties is to prevent the transmission from vibrating and making noise during the operation of the vehicle. While the inner part of the transmission mount is rubber, the outer part is manufactured using metal material.

As every mechanical part fails over time, the transmission mount may also malfunction from time to time. The most obvious indicator of this is the feeling of sound and vibrations. These elements, which are felt and heard, indicate that the transmission mount is not performing its duty. Apart from this, other problems seen are as follows. If your transmission mount is faulty, your vehicle will start to sway while accelerating. This may be due to worn or damaged rubbers. Again, if the gearbox ear is damaged, if it is not repaired, it may cause the gearbox to come off. For this reason, if your transmission mount has started to malfunction, it is recommended that you go to a technical service as soon as possible. Knowing why the transmission mount is failing will allow this part to be used for a longer period of time. Reasons behind transmission mount deterioration are as follows: Transmission mounts start to fail after a certain kilometer due to corrosion and vibrations. Corrosion and oil leaks cause deterioration of the rubber or polyurethane material in the transmission mount. Factors such as road salt and moisture deform the transmission mount over time. The transmission mount may be damaged due to collisions and accidents in the front of the vehicle. For this reason, it is always important for the health of the vehicle to check the vehicle at certain kilometer intervals. Thus, timely measures can be taken against possible undesirable situations.
