GEARBOX MOUNT

A gearbox mount, also known as a transmission mount, is a device that connects the gearbox or transmission of a Mercedes-Benz vehicle to the frame of the vehicle. Its main function is to support the weight of the gearbox and isolate the vibrations and movements of the gearbox from the rest of the vehicle.

Gearbox mounts are typically made of metal and rubber, and they are designed to absorb the vibrations and movements of the gearbox, reducing the amount of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) that enters the passenger compartment. The rubber component of the mount can wear out over time, and the mount itself can become loose or damaged.

When a gearbox mount is worn or damaged, it can cause the gearbox to move around excessively, which can cause vibrations and noise to be transmitted through the vehicle, it can also cause damage to other components if left un-repaired. It also can have an impact on gear shifting, as the mount help to keep the gearbox in the correct position.

If you suspect that your gearbox mount is worn or damaged, it is important to have it inspected and replaced as needed by a professional mechanic to ensure the proper operation and longevity of your vehicle.
