Great Gear Controls with Mazda Trans Mounts

Anthony Fontanelle
October 6, 2007

The Mazda transmission mount is a simple, yet crucial component that helps keep a vehicle function properly. The transmission allows the gear ratio between the car engine and the drive wheels to continuously change as the car speeds up and slows down. It is a device that allows mechanical power to be transferred to the wheels. In driving, shifting gears is important to keep the engine below the red line and near the rpm band of its performance.

Mazda trans mounts keep the car’s transmission in place. In so doing, it is able to hold the trans in good alignment with the clutch and the drive shaft. This makes easier contact between the two car components, resulting to noticeable ease in shifting gears. Aside from keeping the trans in good position, the Mazda transmission mount protects the trans from the motor’s vibrations. An efficient transmission mount enables signals from the clutch to be easily transmitted to the wheels. Hence, car owners get the full benefit and level of ease in driving.

Aside from convenience, having good gear controls also warrants a safer trip. One is able to change gears properly and avoid miscalculating the car’s speed. With a good trans mount such as those found in Mazda, one can avoid causing the car to stagger whenever making a shift in gears.

Having a good Mazda trans mount is key in having a high-quality ride. This is why a regular inspection of crucial components such as trans mounts is highly advised for car owners. Most trans mounts last an average car run of 96,500 kilometers. A Mazda transmission mount is tested to last for years, surpassing the other trans mount’s lifespan of 96,500 kilometers. However, time will eventually take its toll and it is only natural to have a Mazda motor mount replaced at least once over the lifetime of a car.
