Genuine MINI F56 GP3 JCW Cooper S Upgrade Gearbox Mount – 22316886197

GENUINE BMW MINI OEM | GP3 SPECIFICATION | PERFORMANCE UPGRADE | REVISED GEARBOX MOUNT

Product Description

Upgrade your MINI's drivetrain mounting with this brand new Genuine BMW / MINI GP3 Specification Gearbox Mount, part number 22316886197, supplied as an original BMW Group component.

Originally associated with the MINI F56 John Cooper Works GP3, this genuine gearbox mount is a popular OEM-based performance upgrade option for compatible MINI F56 Cooper S and John Cooper Works models.

Compared with the conventional MINI F56 gearbox mount, the GP3-specification mount features revised internal construction with additional reinforcement, providing a factory-developed mounting solution for performance-oriented applications.

Designed to support the gearbox and help control drivetrain movement under acceleration, deceleration and load, this mount retains the genuine BMW / MINI rubber mounting construction.

This makes it an attractive alternative for owners seeking an OEM-style performance upgrade without moving directly to a substantially stiffer aftermarket polyurethane gearbox mount.

The GP3 gearbox mount is particularly appealing for fast-road, tuned, modified and performance MINI applications, where controlling excessive drivetrain movement is an important consideration.

The same genuine BMW Group gearbox mount is also associated with selected higher-performance applications, including the MINI F54 Clubman John Cooper Works ALL4 and BMW F39 X2 M35i.

Whether you're replacing a worn gearbox mount or upgrading your MINI with a genuine factory performance-derived component, this GP3-specification mount offers an excellent OEM-based option for compatible vehicles.

Why Upgrade to the GP3 Gearbox Mount?

The gearbox mount plays an important role in supporting the drivetrain and helping control transmission movement during acceleration, deceleration and gear changes.

Over time, conventional gearbox mounts can deteriorate, potentially contributing to excessive drivetrain movement, knocking, vibration or unwanted movement under load.

The GP3-specification gearbox mount features revised internal construction compared with the conventional MINI F56 gearbox mount, incorporating additional reinforcement within the mounting assembly.

This makes it a popular genuine OEM upgrade option for MINI Cooper S and John Cooper Works owners, particularly those running tuned or modified vehicles.

Unlike many aftermarket polyurethane mounting solutions, the GP3 gearbox mount retains a genuine BMW / MINI rubber mounting design.

For owners looking to retain an OEM-style mounting solution while upgrading to a factory performance-derived component, the GP3 gearbox mount provides an attractive alternative.

Please Note: Changes in drivetrain movement, vibration and refinement will depend on the vehicle, installation and condition of the remaining engine and gearbox mounts.
