Replacing a gearbox mount - Matt - 22-02-2012
What do I need?
I've seen a mount, and a bracket? Do I need both to do it?
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Foxy-jim - 22-02-2012
No just the mount! I needed a bracket for mine as its a 1.4!
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Niall - 22-02-2012
Matt careful you get the right size. They do two different sizes that look identical!
Other than that, it's easy. Battery box out, jack under the box, undo the 3 bolts and carefully let the jack down a bit then whip the old one off and fit the new one.

What size should I be looking for? Looking at ecp they list a few for my reg :/
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Niall - 22-02-2012
Mine was the bigger one so would assume you need the same. Smaller is for the TU engines IIRC

Okay and I need just the mount yeah? No bracket?
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Foxy-jim - 22-02-2012
Ye as said tu engines have smaller brackets, that's why I had to get a gti bracket!
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Niall - 22-02-2012
Just the mount Matt. It just sits on the bracket that's welded to the car

Ahhh I see, never even seen the mount before so didn't know the. Racket was welded to the car. Hopefully going to pick up some mounts an replace them on Saturday
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Niall - 22-02-2012
Well let me rephrase that. The bracket SHOULD be welded to the body. Lol
You doing all the mounts?

Top two at the moment and lower when I have more time/decent trolley jack
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Foxy-jim - 22-02-2012
They aren't welded just bolted on!

Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Foxy-jim - 22-02-2012
It shouldn't be as I unbolted mine from one from a scrappy!
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Niall - 22-02-2012
In which case, what holds your battery up? The more superior engine one literally must sits onto the battery box tray which is welded to the car...
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Foxy-jim - 22-02-2012
Everything that sits under the battery can be unbolted! Have you changed your gearbox mount?

Errr yes...that's why I told him how to do it........
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Foxy-jim - 22-02-2012
Fair enough. I don't know then. The two bolts were under the mounting plate and not easily visible.
Re: Replacing a gearbox mount - Dum-Dum - 23-02-2012
I will confirm that on any 306 that ive looked at the bracket that holds the box mount could be unbolted from the chassis leg and was not welded.
