Which trans mount for W201 w/manual trans? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Jetmugg · #1 02-13-2015, 10:25 AM

My '93 190 D 2.5 Turbo 5-speed car ('93 190E refitted with 2.5 Turbo engine and 5-speed manual) is in need of a new transmission mount.

I know there is a difference between the auto trans mounts and the manual trans mounts. I think there is a height difference between the two, but can't remember now.

In any event, Pelican Parts does not list a trans mount for any of the manual trans applications in a W201 (at least not that I can find). Some of the other online vendors have listings, but only for URO, or other highly suspect brands.

Any recommendations from the W201 diesel, manual trans guys?

Thanks,

Steve.

As far as I know, its the same manual and auto.

I think this is correct for the four speed gearbox and the automatic transmission. This should be 2012421701

But the 5 speed gearbox has a four point fixing

This should be part number 2012421601

Sorry I wasn't clear. I have the crossmember, I'm in need of the rubber mount that goes between te crossmember and the trans (5-speed).

Actually I think I'm probably having one of my funny turns - sorry about that

I can see two numbers on this site =>

ENGINE SUSPENSION. Fits: 1992 Mercedes 190 E 2.3 Sedan | Mercedes-Benz of South Atlanta

They seem to do the same job

1242400618

2012401118

The cross member is definitely different. When I bought the rubber mount from an online verdor for my 2.6 5spd they listed it as fitting both the manual and the auto. If there is a difference between the two its minor.

I completely agree that the crossmembers are different. Maybe my memory is going bad, but at one time, I thought I saw drawings of the 2 different mounts, one of which was a few mm's "taller" than the other, owing to differences in the trans cases between manual and automatic.

I don't have access to the EPC at work, but I should probably check when I'm at home.

I'm pretty sure that's a W114/5 thing

I just reused the auto one when I did my swap. Seemed about the right height and all. From w124 , w123 , w201 they all looked the same height. The w124 is nerdy and I use that one on a 240d auto. Seems fine.

I used 2012400618 in my 1984 190D-2.2. It fit the same as the original factory mount - no problems.
