Gearbox mounts

[Jonny...G]

Hi does anybody know how big a job it will be to replace my gearbox mounts as I think there worn.
I have a 2003 E320 cdi auto.....Thanks

If you can get the car raised, no problem 10min job

What makes you think it's worn? There is only the one mount for the back of the bo . The front being supported via the engine mounts. They're a bugger to do...

Hmmmm well it judders as I pull away. A couple of mechanics have told me so

Replace the engine mounts too. Only buy genuine mounts.

Are you sure the judder is mount related? It could be a faulty torque converter.

Ok thanks and errr no I'm not sure.... Will I be able to know if it's the mounts by looking at them????

Engine mounts are fluid filled so can look collapsed as the fluid leaks out. Does the engine rock significantly when started or stopped?

 

[Jonny...G]

Nope not at all

It's only on very hard pull away from stop and at first

Gearbox mounts are common and lemforders ones are pennies from Euro Car Parts.. worth changing anyway.
