This KEIN transmission mount kit is a game - changer for your Subaru. It fits multiple models including the 1993 - 2001 Impreza, 2002 - 2021 WRX, 2004 - 2021 STI, 2005 - 2009 Legacy GT, and 2004 - 2013 Forester XT, but only for 5 - speed transmission vehicles.

You can choose the powder - coat color, and it comes with 65A durometer rubber bushings. It also has a 2 - year warranty and bolts with approximately 50 kN strength. It replaces OEM parts № 41022AA180, 41022AC180, 41022AA220, 41022AC170, 41022AA320, 41022AC040, 41022AC170, 41022FE020.
Using this KEIN transmission mount is easy. First, make sure your vehicle is one of the compatible Subaru models with a 5 - speed transmission. Remove the old OEM parts (the ones it replaces are listed in the product description). Then, install the new KEIN mount in place. When installing, ensure the bolts are tightened properly as they have a strength of about 50 kN. For maintenance, regularly check the powder - coated surface for any signs of chips or scratches. If you notice any, touch up the paint to prevent rust. Also, check the rubber bushings every once in a while. They have a 65A durometer, which is quite durable, but if you see excessive wear, it might be time to replace them. Keep in mind that this product comes with a 2 - year warranty, so if you have any issues during this period, you can reach out for support.
