IronBox BMW E36 / E46 Solid Aluminum Transmission Mount Set

$
50.00
The IronBox solid transmission mount set replaces the flexible OEM gearbox mounts in compatible BMW E36 and E46 applications

The rigid aluminum construction minimizes gearbox movement during acceleration, braking, cornering, and gear changes

Reducing drivetrain movement can improve shift consistency, maintain more stable shifter alignment, and provide a more direct connection between the transmission and chassis

These mounts contain no rubber or polyurethane isolation and are intended primarily for drift, track, race, and other performance-focused builds

Main features

  • Solid transmission mounting — minimizes gearbox movement by replacing the flexible OEM mounts
  • Improved shift consistency — reduces movement of the gearbox and shift linkage under load
  • Stable shifter alignment — particularly useful with rigid and chassis-mounted shifter configurations
  • Suitable for high-load use — designed for drift, track, race, and performance applications
  • Duralumin construction — provides a rigid and lightweight mounting solution
  • Anodized surface — protects the aluminum and provides a clean finished appearance
  • Complete mounting pair — supplied with the required installation hardware
  • Designed and manufactured in Ukraine by IronBox

Compatibility

  • BMW 3 Series E36
  • BMW 3 Series E46
  • Compatible gearbox and crossmember configurations using the corresponding two-mount layout

Exact compatibility must be determined by the gearbox mounting points, transmission crossmember, mount height, stud position, and hole spacing rather than the chassis code alone

Compatibility with BMW Compact, M3, SMG, automatic, xi or xDrive models and vehicles with swapped engines or transmissions must be confirmed before ordering

The product should not be assumed to fit every transmission installed in an E36 or E46 without checking the mounting configuration

Kit includes

  • Solid transmission mounts — 2 pcs
  • Installation hardware

Important NVH information

These are fully solid mounts with no rubber or polyurethane vibration isolation

Installation will significantly increase noise, vibration, and harshness inside the vehicle

They are intended primarily for motorsport and performance builds and are not recommended when factory-level comfort is required

Important installation information

IronBox recommends installing these transmission mounts together with matching solid M50, M52, or M54 engine mounts

Combining solid transmission mounts with worn or excessively flexible engine mounts may allow the engine to move while the gearbox remains rigidly mounted and can increase stress on the transmission mounting points

Inspect the engine mounts, gearbox mounting ears, transmission crossmember, chassis mounting points, shifter linkage, driveshaft coupling, center support bearing, and surrounding components before installation

After installation, check drivetrain alignment, shifter operation, driveshaft and exhaust clearance, and all mounting hardware

Installation and final inspection should be carried out by a qualified specialist
