Trans mounts for 135i

dsocold · 12-28-2017, 09:36 AM

ARe the transmission mounts the same for manual and automatic (6AT). I have an automatic and if so does that mean i can use the e46 m3 mounts on my 135i.

Wrong section my dood.

Also what's the point if you have an auto? The M3 mounts (and other, stiffer ones) are so you can move the lever into/out of gear better under power since the trans will be deflecting a little bit. Auto's can't have this issue.

They use the same bushings, however the 6AT and DCT use different supporting brackets.

The first question is this: what problem are you trying to solve? Even if the mounts are interchangeable, how do you expect your driving experience to improve with stiffer mounts on your automatic transmission?

There are a million other ways you can spend time and money on your car; this one seems like a waste of both.

honestly nothing. I just figured the m3 mounts were already cheap enough so i wanted to do my motor mounts and trans mounts at the same time since they were never replaced for the **** of it.. and considering m3 mounts are usualy stiffer yet still have barely any increase in NVH... I wasnt trying to get anything crazy from it i aready got pretty much all the suspension mods and proper tires..
