Ford Focus Gearbox Mount Replacement Parts

Yes, the Ford Focus has a gearbox mount (also called a transmission mount) on all variants — it is the rubber-and-metal bush that supports the gearbox casing against the subframe or body, and it exists on both manual and automatic transmission versions across all generations. Because the Focus is a front-wheel-drive car, the gearbox mount is an important part of the engine and transmission mounting package. Every petrol and diesel Focus from Mk1 onwards will have one, though the exact design varies by engine and gearbox type.

The Mk2 Focus ran from 2004 to 2011 and the Mk3 from 2011 to 2018, and these are distinct generations with different subframe and transmission mounting layouts, so a Mk2 mount will generally not cross to a Mk3. Even where engine codes appear similar across that boundary — for example, certain 1.6 TDCi units — the mounting geometry changed with the new platform. Name the generation boundary to your breaker and ask them to check the mount design against your specific registration before buying.

Trim level does not affect gearbox mount fitment at all — the mount is determined by the engine code and gearbox type, not by whether the car is a Zetec, Titanium, ST-Line, or any other badge. A Zetec and a Titanium sharing the same engine code and gearbox will use identical mounts. Tell the breaker your engine code (found on your V5C or a VIN check) rather than your trim name, and that is all they need.

Yes, fuel type matters because petrol and diesel engines of the same era use different gearboxes, and the mounts are designed around the specific gearbox casing and weight. For example, a 1.6 TDCi diesel uses a different transmission to a 1.6 Ti-VCT petrol, and the mounts are not interchangeable. Always confirm your engine code with the breaker — it tells them the exact gearbox type and mount specification in one step.

The Mk3 Focus was facelifted in 2014, and while the core platform was carried over, there can be mid-production mounting and ancillary changes that are not always obvious from the outside. The engine code is your most reliable guide here — if the pre- and post-facelift cars share the same code and gearbox type, fitment is more likely, but whether the mount bracket or bush design changed in that 2014 refresh is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration rather than assume.

The Focus ST uses a higher-output turbocharged engine — the 2.0 EcoBoost petrol in the Mk3 ST, for example — paired with a specific six-speed manual gearbox, and its transmission mounts are matched to that powertrain rather than standard Focus units. A mount from a 1.0 EcoBoost or 1.5 TDCi Focus will not be the right fit for an ST. Give the breaker your engine code and confirm it is from an ST-spec donor car to make sure the mount is the correct type for your application.
