⚠️ IMPORTANT COUPLE REPLACEMENT AND SHAFT WARNING:
- Replace as a Pair: There are 2 mounts that support the transmission from below in E36 vehicles. When one breaks, the rubber of the other has also reached the point of tearing. Replacing only the broken side with a new BMW E36 Transmission Mount will quickly tear the newly installed part as the old mount has lost its flexibility. Definitely replace both the right and left mounts (2 pieces) together.
- Shaft Joint Hazard: If you continue to use the vehicle while your transmission mounts are broken, the transmission will sag, and the angle of the shaft will be distorted. This will quickly damage the shaft joint (flexible coupling) and incur much larger expenses for you.
The legendary E36 chassis vehicles that left BMW's signature on the asphalt are now equipped with the KAUTEK brand BMW E36 Transmission Mount, designed to cut through those annoying rattles in the cabin like a knife! In the aggressive driving dynamics of the E36, during sudden accelerations and hard gear shifts, these rubber mounts absorb all the stress and vibrations of the gearbox (transmission). An old BMW E36 Transmission Mount that has hardened and broken due to years of wear and engine heat causes the transmission to hit the chassis, produces a "thud" sound from below when accelerating, and makes the gear knob shake like a mixer at idle. Worst of all, the angle of the gear levers is distorted because the transmission sags, making it a torture to shift into especially 1st gear and reverse. To save your vehicle's drivetrain from this dangerous vibration and make gear shifts as smooth as cotton, you can reset your suspension with this brand new BMW E36 Transmission Mount, produced with superior KAUTEK quality in a rubber and metal combination. This BMW E36 Transmission Mount, manufactured to fit the original chassis holes perfectly, stabilizes your gearbox while absorbing all vibrations from the engine.
- Smooth Gear Shifts: Prevents the transmission from sagging, ensuring the gear mechanism (lever) operates at the correct angle. A brand new BMW E36 Transmission Mount instantly solves the hard-to-shift, clunky gear problem.
- Premium Cabin Acoustics: Eliminates the annoying vibrations felt in the gear knob while idling and the thumping sounds from the ground when accelerating.
- KAUTEK Rubber Quality: Made from rubber with high thermal and mechanical resistance according to automotive standards, it does not easily break under sudden torque loads.
- Shaft and Axle Protection: Keeps the transmission in its original alignment, preventing unnecessary strain and thus breakage of the shaft couplings and lower shaft joint that transfers power to the wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
My gears are very hard to shift, my mechanic said the transmission needs to come down. Can I solve the problem just by buying this BMW E36 Transmission Mount? When the transmission mounts break, the entire gearbox sags a few centimeters, and the angle of the gear levers is distorted. This causes the gears to be clunky and hard to shift. Before removing the transmission and incurring thousands of dollars in expenses, have your mounts checked by lifting the vehicle. Most E36 gear shifting problems can be instantly solved by replacing just 2 mounts and correcting the transmission alignment.
How many of this product should I order for my vehicle? Are the right and left different? BMW E36 vehicles have a standard of 2 mounts for the transmission (unless there is a special modification) on the right and left. These mounts are not specific to the right or left; the part is the same for both sides. To ensure the system can dampen effectively, we strongly recommend adding 2 BMW E36 Transmission Mounts to your cart to replace both sides at the same time.
