Description
Every gear change should feel deliberate, connected, and precise.
The factory transmission crossmember on Subaru WRX and STI models uses soft, voided rubber bushings that flex under load. This movement absorbs drivetrain energy and creates the vague, disconnected shift feel many drivers notice, especially during aggressive driving. The OVERTAKE Subaru Transmission Crossmember Bushing Kit replaces those compliant factory bushings with 80A durometer polyurethane to dramatically reduce drivetrain slop while remaining suitable for daily use.
This upgrade forms a solid foundation for improved shift quality, throttle response, and overall drivetrain control.
What You Will Feel
- Shorter and more direct gear changes
- Significantly improved 2nd to 3rd gear shifts
- Sharper throttle response from reduced torque twist
- A more connected and confident drivetrain feel
Why It Works
The front transmission crossmember is a major source of drivetrain flex that often goes unnoticed. Factory rubber bushings are designed with large voids for comfort, but they compress and deform under load, reducing shift precision and consistency. Over time, exposure to heat and oil further degrades the rubber, worsening shift feel.
OVERTAKE polyurethane bushings are specifically tuned to control unwanted movement while maintaining enough compliance for street use. Unlike solid mounts that transmit excessive vibration into the cabin, this balanced durometer delivers improved feedback without harshness. Polyurethane also resists degradation, ensuring consistent performance over the long term. A slight increase in NVH is possible, but most enthusiasts consider the improved response well worth the trade-off.
