Used gearbox mounts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The ID.3 is a fully electric vehicle with a single-speed reduction drive unit rather than a conventional multi-speed gearbox, so it does not have a traditional gearbox mount as found on petrol or diesel cars. What it does have are drive unit mounts and motor mounts that secure the electric motor and reduction unit to the subframe. If your ID.3 has a mount-related fault or you need a replacement mounting component, you should search for an electric motor mount or drive unit mount rather than a gearbox mount.
On the ID.3 you want either the electric motor mount or the drive unit mount, which serves the same structural purpose of isolating vibration and securing the powertrain to the vehicle. There are typically several mounting points around the drive unit, so knowing which position is failing — front, rear, or lateral — will help a breaker supply the correct piece. Quoting your registration or VIN to the breaker will help them identify the exact mount needed for your specific variant and build date.
The ID.3 received a significant facelift in 2023, which introduced updates beyond cosmetics, so whether a pre-facelift mount from 2020–2022 crosses over to the 2023-on facelift model is not something that can be confirmed without checking against your specific registration. The drive unit itself may differ between the two generations, which can affect mount design and bolt patterns. Confirm compatibility with the breaker by supplying your full VIN before purchasing.
Trim level — whether your ID.3 is in Pure, Family, Tour, or any other grade — does not affect which drive unit mount you need, as this is a mechanical component dictated by the powertrain rather than the specification level. What matters is the motor variant fitted, which can differ between battery and power output options such as the 45 kWh, 58 kWh, or 77 kWh configurations. Always cross-reference using your VIN or engine code with the breaker to confirm the correct mount.
The battery and power output variant can affect the drive unit fitted, and different drive units may use different mounts, so a mount from a 45 kWh car may not be identical to one from a 77 kWh car even within the same model year. Year of manufacture also plays a role, particularly across the 2023 facelift boundary where engineering changes were made. Give the breaker your VIN and confirm the motor designation to ensure you get a like-for-like replacement.
