Land Rover Automatic Transmission Mount - Genuine Rover KQB000040

Product Information

A transmission mount is a crucial component in a vehicle that secures the transmission to the vehicle’s chassis. It typically consists of a metal frame with rubber or polyurethane insulation. Its main function is to hold the transmission in place, reduce vibrations, and prevent excessive movement during operation. The rubber or polyurethane part helps absorb vibrations and shocks from the engine and road, improving ride quality and protecting the transmission.

• Clunking or Banging Noises: When the transmission mount is damaged, you may hear clunking or banging sounds during gear changes or when accelerating/decelerating.
• Excessive Vibrations: One of the primary signs of a failing transmission mount is increased vibrations or rattling, especially when the vehicle is idling or during acceleration. As the mount loses its ability to absorb shocks, vibrations can be felt inside the cabin.
• Engine Misalignment: As the transmission mount also plays a role in maintaining proper alignment between the engine and transmission, a broken mount can cause misalignment issues, especially in front wheel drive configurations.

About Genuine Land Rover

The same parts Land Rover used to build your vehicle are sold as replacement parts under the “Genuine Land Rover” brand. These are manufactured under Land Rover’s direction, guaranteeing top quality. As you’d expect, they also carry a premium price and are sold exclusively through the Land Rover dealership network.

Genuine Land Rover parts trace their origins back to the earliest days of the brand in 1948, when Rover engineers built the first Series I using robust, serviceable components designed for durability in harsh environments. Over the decades, Land Rover established partnerships with leading European suppliers to ensure consistent quality and performance. This tradition continues today, with Genuine Land Rover parts representing the official replacement components engineered to the same specifications as those used on the production line.

What many owners don’t realize is that Land Rover doesn’t manufacture most of these parts themselves. Instead, they design the components, contract trusted suppliers to produce them, and then verify the quality. Many of these suppliers have partnered with Land Rover for decades. In the industry, they’re known as OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers)—brands you probably recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. It’s not unusual to open a Genuine Land Rover box and find one of these brands inside—just re-badged with a Land Rover logo.

On our site, look for OE tags on product pages to quickly spot parts that come straight from the original manufacturers. Choosing these can save you a significant amount compared to buying them in Genuine packaging. For more details on how to identify OE and OEM parts, check out our OE Academy.
