No two gearbox mounts are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
No — the W220 (1998–2005) and W221 (2005–2013) are entirely different generations with different subframe geometry, so gearbox mounts are not interchangeable between them. You should always source a mount from the same generation as your car. Confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Both years fall within the W221 generation (2005–2013), which received a facelift in 2009, and mounting changes can sometimes occur mid-production even within a generation. Engine code is the most important detail here — an S350 and an S500 of the same year may use different mounts. Supply the breaker with your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) and your registration so they can confirm the part is correct.
Trim level has no bearing on gearbox mount fitment — the mount follows the drivetrain, not the badge or trim pack. What matters is your engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type (automatic, which is standard across the S-Class range). An AMG-badged variant with a different engine displacement, however, may use a different mount, so always cross-reference by engine code rather than trim name.
Not necessarily — petrol and diesel variants of the same generation can have different engine bay layouts and mounting configurations, meaning the mounts may differ. The engine code is the safest guide: for example, an OM642 diesel unit is unlikely to share a mount with an M272 petrol unit even in the same W221 chassis. Always give the breaker your exact engine code to be sure.
No — the W222 (2013–2020) and W223 (2020–present) are separate generations with different platform architecture, and parts from one will not transfer to the other. Stick to the correct generation for your car, and narrow it down further using your engine code, as the W222 in particular covered a wide range of engines including V6, V8, and V12 units. Confirm fitment with the breaker against your registration.
The W221 facelift arrived in 2009, and while many mechanical components carried over, ancillary and mounting details can change at these production boundaries. The engine code remains your most reliable guide — if both cars share the same engine code, there is a reasonable chance the mount will interchange, but this is not guaranteed. Route this question to the breaker with both registration numbers so they can check the part numbers directly.
