This KAUTEK (BM-TM008) transmission mount is compatible with many models, primarily the BMW 3 Series E36 (1991-1998), as well as E30, E46, and E34. It is a critical part that connects the transmission to the vehicle's chassis and absorbs the vibrations produced by the engine. Over time, mounts that become lubricated and soft or break can cause excessive shaking in the gear lever, a "clunk" sound during starts, and difficulty in gear shifting.
- Vibration Absorber: Thanks to its high-density rubber structure, it does not transmit transmission vibrations to the body, providing a comfortable ride.
- Durable Structure: Made from vulcanized rubber resistant to engine oil leaks and transmission heat.
- Wide Compatibility: Used as standard in many of BMW's classic rear-wheel-drive models (in Manual and some Automatic transmissions).
- Metal Reinforcement: The connecting bolts and body part are made of a corrosion-resistant metal alloy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How many should I buy? There are 2 mounts in the BMW E36 transmission crossmember, one on the right and one on the left. Since both usually wear out at the same time, it is recommended to purchase and replace 2 pieces (a pair). The price is for one piece.
My gear lever is shaking a lot, will it get better? If the gear lever shakes excessively at idle or tilts left and right when you press the gas, it is likely that your transmission mounts have broken. Replacing these parts will solve the problem by 90%.
Will it fit the M3 model? While standard mounts physically fit M3 models, due to the high torque of M3s, it is generally recommended to use stiffer (solid) mounts or products specifically referenced for M3. This product is for standard (between 316i - 328i) models.
