Used Vauxhall Adam Gearbox Mount

Yes, the Vauxhall Adam is a front-wheel-drive car and uses a transversely mounted engine, so it does have gearbox mounts (also called transmission mounts) as part of the engine and gearbox mounting arrangement. These rubber-and-metal brackets hold the gearbox end of the drivetrain against the subframe and are a genuine, serviceable part on this model. If you are searching for one, you may also see it listed by breakers as a transmission mount or gearbox support bracket.

The Vauxhall Adam was produced from 2013 to 2019 as a single generation with a facelift around 2017, and in principle cars sharing the same engine code are the most likely candidates for a matching mount. However, mounting bracket specifications can change mid-production without a full model revision, so even within the same generation you should confirm against your registration and engine code with the breaker before buying. The engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — is the single most reliable detail to supply.

Trim level makes no difference to gearbox mount fitment on the Vauxhall Adam — the Jam, Glam, Rocks, and Slam are all cosmetic and equipment variations rather than distinct mechanical configurations. What actually determines the correct mount is your engine code, fuel type, and whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox. Supply your engine code to the breaker rather than the trim name and you will get a far more accurate match.

Yes, this can matter — the gearbox mount locates the specific gearbox unit fitted to your car, and a manual and automatic gearbox are physically different units that may use different mounts or brackets. Always tell the breaker which gearbox type your car has alongside your engine code, as quoting just the engine size alone is not enough. Your V5 or a VIN check will confirm the gearbox type if you are unsure.

These are different engine families — the 1.0 SIGE/B10DTH turbocharged unit and the 1.2 naturally aspirated unit are distinct powertrains and are very likely to use different gearbox mounts. Engine code is the critical detail here, not just the engine size badge, so check your V5 or run a VIN check to get the exact code before approaching a breaker. Confirm the specific part number against your registration with the breaker to be sure.

The Vauxhall Adam shares some of its platform and engine family with the Corsa of the same era, and some mechanical components do cross over, but this is not guaranteed for every mount configuration. The correct approach is to give the breaker both registration numbers and let them check part numbers against both vehicles — do not assume compatibility based on shared engines alone. A breaker familiar with Vauxhall parts will be able to tell you quickly whether the numbers match.
