4E0399607A Volkswagen PLATE

This plate, usually made of steel, primarily serves as a barrier and a mounting point. It physically protects the internals of your gearbox from road debris, like rocks or anything kicked up from the road. It also acts like a shield for the sensors and other delicate components attached to the gearbox. Beyond protection, it's the base for things like the shift linkage or maybe even some electronic components – things need to be bolted to something solid, and this plate provides that. Essentially, it’s part of the underside of your gearbox. You won't see it normally unless you’re under the vehicle, but it's holding everything together down there and keeping the important bits safe. It bridges the gap between the gearbox housing and the undercarriage of your car, adding structural support. Well, without it, your gearbox is exposed. Road damage could lead to sensor failure, linkage issues, or even damage to the gearbox itself. You'll notice if it's gone or seriously damaged because you might have trouble shifting, experience strange noises coming from underneath, or the car could even throw a warning light. It’s not something you want to ignore. If it's bent or corroded, it's best to replace it. You can find replacements pretty easily – we often have a good selection at Fixparts Online, but any reputable auto parts store should carry them. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, compared to the cost of fixing a damaged gearbox, so it's definitely worth keeping in good shape. Highly rated and reliable: Plate (MPN 4E0399607A) includes a 12-month warranty!
