Fitment on a used gearbox mount varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Yes, the Tigra does have a gearbox mount — it is a front-wheel-drive car, so the engine and gearbox sit transversely and are held in place by a set of engine and transmission mounts, of which the gearbox mount is one. This applies to both generations: the original Tigra (1994–2001, based on the Corsa B) and the Tigra TwinTop (2004–2009, based on the Corsa C). If you are searching for a propshaft or transfer box component, those do not exist on the Tigra as it is front-wheel-drive only.
Almost certainly not — the original Tigra and the Tigra TwinTop are based on different platforms (Corsa B and Corsa C respectively), with different subframes and engine bay layouts, so the mounts are not the same. These are two distinct generations with a clear break around 2004, and parts rarely cross between them. Stick to sourcing a mount from within the correct generation and confirm against your registration with the breaker.
Yes, engine code is the most important detail here — different engines (for example, the 1.4, 1.6, or 1.8 in the TwinTop generation) can use different gearbox and transmission mount configurations. Your engine code is printed on your V5C or can be found via a VIN check, and it is the single most useful piece of information you can give a breaker when requesting a quote. Always supply it rather than relying on engine size alone, as two cars badged the same can have different codes.
The Tigra was only offered with petrol engines in the UK across both generations, so fuel type is not a variable you need to worry about for this model. What does matter is the specific engine code within the petrol range, as different petrol units can have different mounting arrangements. Confirm the exact engine code with your breaker to make sure the mount matches your car.
No, trim level has no bearing on gearbox mount fitment — mounts are a mechanical component determined by engine code and gearbox type, not by whether the car is a Sport, Design, or any other trim. A mount from a lower-spec Tigra TwinTop with the same engine code should be the same part as one from a higher-spec version. The only cosmetic differences you might notice between donor cars are interior or exterior trim pieces, none of which affect the mount itself.
The Tigra TwinTop (2004–2009) shares its platform with the Corsa C, so there is a reasonable chance of crossover for some mounting components, particularly on matching engine codes. However, the Tigra TwinTop has a unique body structure as a roadster, and mounting points can differ in detail from the hatchback Corsa C. Confirm the engine code and specific mount location (for example, nearside or offside) with your breaker before purchasing, as they will be best placed to cross-reference the part numbers.
