Genuine Renault Gearbox Mount / Battery Tray - Twingo 2 RS

Twingo 2 RS Gearbox Mount: Why is this Component Vital for Your Transmission?

At Optimiz Access, your specialist in sports and premium vehicle maintenance, we know that every component in your Renault Twingo 2 RS is put to the test. The Genuine Renault Gearbox Mount (also called the battery tray) is an essential link between the gearbox (JR5 or TL4) and the chassis. If you neglect it, you lose much more than just a part: you risk compromising the entirety of your sporty driving experience.

The Consequences of Neglecting a Worn Gearbox Mount

A tired or cracked mount on your Twingo RS is a source of costly problems and a noticeable degradation in feel. Failing to replace it quickly means losing:

• Precision and Smoothness of Gear Changes: The gearbox is no longer held firmly. The engine and gearbox suffer excessive movement during load changes (acceleration/deceleration). This parasitic movement misaligns the linkage, making gear changes imprecise, slow, or even difficult, especially during dynamic driving and high revving.
• Acoustic Comfort in the Cabin: The mount is an anti-vibration element. If it fails, it no longer filters the vibrations generated by the K4M RS engine, transmitting them directly to the body. You lose road comfort, and your Twingo RS becomes noisy and unpleasant.
• Longevity of Peripheral Components: Excessive engine movement (the "pumping" phenomenon) abnormally stresses the silent block (bushing), hoses, gear selector cables, and even the electrical circuit and ECU often fixed nearby. You lose the protection of these expensive elements.

The Choice of Genuine Renault Sport: Why Trust the OEM Part?

This Genuine Renault Gearbox Mount is designed to restore the performance and reliability of your Twingo 2 RS:

• Strict Compliance: It is manufactured according to strict Renault specifications, guaranteeing a perfect fit and optimal vibration performance, where an aftermarket part might cause unwanted noise or play.
• RS Stress Resistance: The Twingo RS is a sports car. This mount is dimensioned to handle the specific torque and stresses of the 1.6 16V K4M engine.

Frequently Asked Questions from Our Passionate Customers

Is It Difficult to Install?

Replacing the gearbox mount requires specialized tools and good mechanical knowledge to ensure the correct alignment of the drivetrain. For a Twingo 2 RS intended for performance, professional installation is always recommended. Optimiz Access offers the installation of all genuine parts at our workshop in Hauts-de-France (near Lille, Cambrai, Valenciennes).

Do I Need Other Parts with This Mount?

This mount is often replaced along with the gearbox silent block (bushing) that attaches to it. A worn silent block, even with a new mount, will continue to generate play and vibrations. You will find the complementary silent block at the bottom of this product page for a complete overhaul of your engine cradle. Also, consider checking the engine mount on the timing side.
