22326775916 BMW 5 (F10), 7 (F01, F02, F03, F04)

OE Number: 22326775916 Part: Transmission Mount The part with OE number 22326775916 is a transmission mount, typically used in BMW vehicles. This component plays a critical role in the drivetrain by securing the transmission to the vehicle's chassis while absorbing vibrations and minimizing movement of the transmission during operation. It contributes to a smoother driving experience and protects the transmission system from damage. Key Functions: 1. Stability: The transmission mount helps secure the transmission in place, ensuring that it remains properly aligned with the engine and other drivetrain components. 2. Vibration Damping: It absorbs vibrations generated by the engine and transmission, reducing the amount of noise and vibration felt inside the vehicle cabin, which results in a smoother, quieter ride. 3. Protection: By minimizing excessive movement of the transmission, the mount protects other components such as the driveshaft, axles, and transmission itself from misalignment or damage due to excessive movement during acceleration or braking. Material and Durability: Transmission mounts are typically constructed from a combination of metal and rubber. The rubber component helps absorb and dampen vibrations, while the metal framework provides structural strength to hold the transmission securely. Over time, the rubber can degrade due to heat and wear, leading to potential failure. Symptoms of a Failing Transmission Mount: - Increased vibration or noise, especially during acceleration or shifting - Clunking or banging sounds when shifting gears - Transmission misalignment, leading to rough gear shifts - Excessive movement or rocking of the transmission when driving Replacing a worn or damaged transmission mount like the 22326775916 is essential for maintaining the smooth operation and longevity of the transmission system, improving both vehicle performance and comfort.
