ENGINE MOUNTING FOR OPEL VECTRA/Hatchback ASTRA/Convertible/Van OPTIMA 1.8L 4cyl VAICO V40-1291

Gearbox mountings are devices required for reliable attachment of the gearbox to body parts. Regardless of the form of execution (hydraulic or rubber-metal) gearbox mounts are designed to smooth out vibrations and vibrations, suppress noise when the vehicle is moving.

A car is a huge source of vibration. It comes from all working mechanisms in the structure of the car: from mechanical impact of the wheels on the road surface, from a running engine and even the gearbox generates a certain level of vibration. To reduce it, an automatic transmission mounting is used, with which the transmission itself is attached to the body.

The material of the automatic transmission mount

This part is made of hard rubber and metal, as well as from other materials that can seal the VAICO brand Mounting, automatic transmission, providing a more reliable installation. The transmission mount absorbs most of the vibration, transferring only part of it to the vehicle body. This is very important, since other sources of vibration also affect the body, so the more efficiently the vibrations of each unit in the car are damped, the more comfortable it will be in the cabin and many components will last longer.
