2019 Mazda CX-5 – Is this transmission mount considered torn? Noise when accelerating uphill

[morgan1]

Hi everyone,
This is a photo of my 2019 Mazda CX-5 transmission mount.
Could you please tell me if this would be considered torn or damaged?
I notice a noise when accelerating uphill, and I’m wondering if this mount could be the cause.
Thanks in advance for your help!

there's supposed to be a gap in the mount, they're not fully solid rubber

Is this the dog bone and you're looking up from the bottom? Mine was replaced last month on a CX-3. If so, I can show you what mine looks like.

there's no "dog bone" mount in the 2nd gen CX-5s... only 1st gens and, 2013-2017 6s, cx-3s, 3rd gen 3s, etc have them... the rear mount got redesigned later on to the one the OP posted

what "tear"? Nothing wrong I can see, besides the small crack that's in 2 o'clock in the pic but it's still all nominal

Hello, and thank you for your reply.
When driving uphill, there’s a noise coming from the right side along with vibration.
I took it to mechanics, but they told me nothing is wrong.
I decided to investigate it myself, so I removed this part and noticed it’s slightly cracked.
I will attach a video so you can see the issue.

I see nothing wrong with the mount

the noise could be caused by something else, such as suspension and driveline, since you say it only occurs going uphill... perhaps you should consult your mazda dealer about this? They might know about this via a service bulletin

one other common issue is the belt tensioner going bad... it will cause a rattle sound when accelerating... you will also see that it leaks oil/grease out and looks very dirty... if your noise is coming from the right side, that's where the belts and tensioner is... go take a look and see
