How to replace the transmission mount of a Suzuki Grand Vitara

Model: Suzuki Vitara JT - Years 2005-2015
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let's see how to replace the transmission mount on a Suzuki Grand Vitara; the problem manifests with unusual vibrations during acceleration or in neutral, and sharp jolts when shifting gears. The transmission mount is located under the vehicle, between the transmission and the frame, often near the driveshaft's universal joint (if it is 4x4). We always start by disconnecting the battery; we place an adjustable support under the transmission (choosing a sturdy support, not the aluminum casing) and lift it slightly; we remove any underbody protections, take out the bolts that secure the mount to the transmission, loosen the bolts that attach the mount to the frame, and install the new mount (E-Bay code 389445469379 priced at 28.99 euros, with free shipping) by positioning it and screwing in the bolts without tightening them, remove the supporting mount and tighten the bolts with the specified torque when the weight of the car is on the wheels. We reassemble the protections and take a test drive to check for unusual noises.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
