Fitment questions

Does the Mercedes-Benz CLK actually have a gearbox mount?

Yes, the CLK does have a gearbox mount — it is a rear-wheel-drive car throughout its entire production run, so the gearbox is a separate, bolted-in unit that requires its own mounting to the bodyshell. This distinguishes it from front-wheel-drive cars where the engine and gearbox often share a combined mount. Both manual and automatic gearbox variants use a gearbox mount, though the specific design differs between them.

Will a gearbox mount from a W208 CLK (1997–2002) fit a W209 CLK (2003–2009)?

The W208 and W209 are distinct generations with different floorpan and subframe layouts, so a gearbox mount from the earlier car is very unlikely to cross over to the later one. Always search by the generation your car belongs to and supply your registration or VIN to the breaker so they can confirm the correct part. Never assume a mount from a W208 will drop straight into a W209.

Does the engine code affect which gearbox mount I need for a CLK?

Yes, engine code is one of the most important factors — different engines sit at different positions and pair with different gearbox units, which directly influences the mount design and bolt pattern. The engine code is stamped on the block and also appears on your V5 or through a VIN check, and it is the single most useful piece of information you can give a breaker. Always quote your engine code alongside your registration when requesting a quote on Findapart.

Does it matter whether my CLK has a manual or automatic gearbox when buying a used mount?

Yes, gearbox type is a key fitment factor — a manual gearbox and an automatic gearbox are physically different units, so their mounts are not interchangeable even if the engine code and year are identical. When contacting a breaker, confirm whether your car is a manual or automatic so they can pull the correct mount from their donor vehicle. Fitting the wrong type will mean the mount does not locate correctly.

Does trim level affect which gearbox mount fits my CLK — for example, does an Elegance need a different mount to an Avantgarde or AMG?

No — trim level does not affect the gearbox mount at all, as this is a purely mechanical component determined by engine code, gearbox type, and production year rather than interior or exterior specification. An Elegance, Avantgarde, or AMG-badged CLK with the same engine code and gearbox type will use the same mount. Do be aware that a donor car from a different trim may carry cosmetic differences you would not want, but the mount itself is unaffected by trim.

I have a 2002 CLK — is it a W208 or W209, and does that affect the gearbox mount I need?

The W208 generation ran from 1997 to 2002 and the W209 was introduced for the 2003 model year, so a 2002 CLK is almost certainly a W208 — but late 2002 build dates can sometimes coincide with early W209 production, so it is worth confirming your exact generation via your VIN before ordering. The generation matters significantly for gearbox mount fitment, as the two cars share little in terms of underbody architecture. Give your full registration or VIN to the breaker and ask them to verify against your specific vehicle.
