Battery Tender

The KEIN 5 Speed Transmission Mount is engineered to significantly reduce drivetrain movement, leading to more efficient power transfer to the ground. This is particularly beneficial for high-performance driving scenarios like drag racing and autocross, where minimizing drivetrain slop ensures more accurate launches and a crisper feel. Constructed from steel (K02001/K02502) and featuring 65A durometer rubber bushings, this mount offers a substantial upgrade over the OEM component. The stock mount's design, relying on bonded rubber and small tabs, presents a potential failure point where the transmission could become disconnected from the chassis. It also includes bolts with a strength of approximately 50 kN and comes with a 2-year warranty. Installation of this mount is noted as being relatively straightforward, though supporting the transmission with a jack is recommended. Some users have reported that minor fitment adjustments might be necessary, potentially requiring all bolts to be loosened initially to achieve alignment before tightening. Powder coating is available in various colors, and the mount replaces several OEM part numbers including 41022AA180, 41022AC180, and 41022FE020. This transmission mount is compatible with a range of Subaru models equipped with 5-speed transmissions: 1993-2001 Impreza, 2002-2021 WRX, 2004-2021 STI, 2005-2009 Legacy GT, and 2004-2013 Forester XT. It is important to confirm that your vehicle is equipped with a 5-speed transmission, as it is not designed for other configurations.
