GrimmSpeed Performance Transmission Mount | Subaru AWD Manual Models
Lock Down Your Drivetrain for More Predictable Shifting!
Factory transmission mounts prioritize comfort and cost, leaving significant room for performance improvement. The GrimmSpeed Transmission Mount dramatically reduces unwanted drivetrain movement, delivering sharper shifting and greater confidence under acceleration, cornering, and spirited driving.
The key lies in the 75A durometer polyurethane bushings — engineered to minimise transmission flex under high torque loads without introducing excessive noise or harshness into the cabin.
This mount is a direct OEM-fit solution for most AWD Subaru manual transmission platforms. Since 5-speed and 6-speed cases differ slightly, the kit includes a 5-Speed Adapter Spacer for perfect alignment when needed.
Installation is simple and reliable thanks to a factory-style press-fit stud design on the stainless-steel bracket — preventing misalignment and ensuring a hassle-free mounting process. The kit arrives fully assembled with all required hardware included.
Performance Upgrade vs OEM
Subaru offers different stiffness levels from factory:
- Softest: WRX OEM Mount
- Mid-Level: STI OEM Mount
- Firmest: Group N Mount
The GrimmSpeed Transmission Mount uses 75A bushings, providing:
- 2x stiffer than Group N
- 5x stiffer than OEM STI mount
- 16x stiffer than OEM WRX mount
This means dramatically improved drivetrain control and a more connected shifting experience — while remaining daily-friendly. NVH increases are minimal during normal driving.
