Hyundai Kona Gearbox Mount Replacement Parts

Yes, the Hyundai Kona does have gearbox mounts (also called transmission mounts) — these are rubber and metal brackets that locate the gearbox against the subframe and are present on all Kona variants regardless of engine or gearbox type. The Kona is a front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive model with a transversely mounted engine, so gearbox mounts are a standard part of the drivetrain package on every version. If you are searching for one, make sure you know your engine code and whether your car has a manual or automatic gearbox, as these details will determine which mount you need.

This is an important boundary to be aware of: the first-generation Kona ran from 2017 to 2023, but Hyundai introduced a second-generation Kona from 2023 onwards, and a significant facelift was applied to the first generation around 2020-2021 which may have brought mounting changes. A 2018 and a 2022 car are both first-generation Konas, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration and engine code before buying, as ancillary and mounting specs can change mid-production.

Trim level makes no difference to gearbox mount fitment on the Kona — SE, SE Connect, Premium, Ultimate, and N Line are all badge and equipment differences, not mechanical ones. What actually matters is the engine code, fuel type (petrol, diesel, or hybrid), and gearbox type (manual or automatic), so concentrate on those details when sourcing a used mount from a breaker. You may notice cosmetic differences between donor cars from different trims, but the mount itself will be the same part if the drivetrain matches.

Yes, fuel type matters because different engines have different gearbox configurations and mount positions — a 1.0-litre or 1.6-litre petrol Kona will have different mounts to a 1.6-litre diesel variant. More importantly, always supply your engine code (found on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check) to the breaker, as this is the single most reliable way to ensure the mount matches your specific engine and gearbox combination. Quoting just 'petrol' or 'diesel' without the engine code leaves room for error, especially given that the Kona was offered with multiple petrol options across its production run.

No — manual and automatic gearboxes are physically different units with different casings and mounting points, so the gearbox mount from a manual Kona will not directly interchange with one from an automatic Kona. When contacting a breaker, make clear whether your car has a manual, a dual-clutch automatic (DCT), or, on hybrid variants, the specific hybrid transmission, as each requires its own compatible mount. Confirm the engine code alongside the gearbox type to give the breaker the best chance of finding the correct used part.

The Kona Electric has a single-speed reduction gear rather than a conventional gearbox, but it does still use transmission or motor mounts to locate the drive unit against the subframe. These mounts are specific to the electric powertrain and will not interchange with mounts from petrol or diesel Kona variants. If you need a replacement, make clear to the breaker that your car is a Kona Electric and provide your VIN or registration so they can source the correct mount for the electric drivetrain.
