2005 Mazda MPV - Transmission Mount

Bad Transmission Mount Symptoms

The automatic transmission mount supports and stabilizes the transmission, and attaches it to the vehicle's frame to keep it securely in place. The transmission mount is also designed to absorb the vibrations and shock produced by driving to prevent them from affecting or damaging the transmission. Over time, the transmission mount can become worn or damaged, leading to increased noise, excessive movement, and potentially causing damage to the transmission. Common signs of a worn or damaged transmission mount include movement or shaking of the transmission during acceleration or shifting, rough idle, as well as clunking or rattling noises and vibrations coming from under the vehicle. If you inspect your transmission mount and it appears to be loose, separated, or damaged, it may be a good idea to get it repaired as soon as possible to limit the risk of more extensive damage.
