Wulf Gaertner Autoparts has added a new video to its MEYLE TV workshop advice YouTube channel, featuring the MEYLE Mechanics. The new release concerns the diagnosis of a defective transmission mount.

Exposed to excessive vibration and high load levels during drive-off and gear shift, transmission mounts are prone to wear out quickly, thus requiring frequent replacement. MEYLE say repair professionals should be advised to perform a transmission mount functional check as part of their repair routine. Whether or not the mounts require replacement can be assessed by visual inspection and/or checking for noise. In their latest YouTube video on MEYLE TV the MEYLE Mechanics explain how to pinpoint a defective transmission mount and why it should be replaced.

Using the MEYLE-HD transmission mount (MEYLE ref. 014 024 1100/HD) to fit Mercedes-Benz C-, CLK-, CLS-, E-, G-, S-, SL- and SLK-Class models they also demonstrate the part's operational principle. MEYLE says unlike OE designs where different components must be used depending on the engine type, the Wulf Gaertner Autoparts engineering team has devised a stronger design to make the MEYLE-HD transmission mount suitable for use in a number of different vehicle models. This means that workshops using the new MEYLE-HD transmission mount only need one type of spare part to offer repair services for several different applications.

Offering a highly compact design, the part features a carefully formulated rubber material engineered to absorb vibration. This way, transmission mount life is significantly increased which is why the part comes with an extended four-year guarantee, as do all items of the MEYLE-HD range. The reinforced design also makes this MEYLE-HD part a smart option for taxi fleet operators.
