How to Determine if the Transmission Mount is Broken?
1 Answers
If you can clearly feel increased vehicle vibration, it indicates that the mount cushion has already failed. Particularly during gear shifts and while driving, you may even hear clunking noises coming from the engine compartment. Once confirmed as damaged, the transmission mount cushion needs to be replaced promptly. Below is an introduction to mount cushions: The mount cushion is the rubber block placed between the engine and the vehicle frame. Its purpose is to reduce vibration and cushion the engine's operation while also securing the engine in place. The mount continuously endures repeated impacts, causing the rubber to fatigue easily while generating high heat. Over time, the vibration-damping rubber will age, weakening its damping effect. Replacement is necessary to prevent the impact vibrations generated by engine operation from being transmitted into the cabin.
