Perrin Transmission Crossmember Bushing 2002-2007 WRX / 2004-2007 STI / 1996-2004 Impreza / 1996-2004 Legacy / 1998-2007 Forester / 1995-2005 Outback | Polyurethane Upgrade | Drivetrain Stability Bushing Kit
Overview
The Perrin Transmission Crossmember Bushing Kit is a targeted upgrade designed to improve drivetrain stability and shift precision across a broad range of Subaru models including the WRX, WRX STI, Impreza, Legacy, Forester, and Outback from the mid-1990s through the 2000s. By replacing the factory’s soft rubber bushings with high-quality polyurethane components, this kit effectively reduces drivetrain slop and unwanted movement, delivering a more connected and responsive driving experience. It’s ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced throttle response and reduced drivetrain lash during spirited driving without compromising daily comfort.
Perrin Performance engineered these bushings with an 85a Durometer polyurethane compound, striking a balance between durability and compliance. This material choice ensures the bushings resist deformation under load while maintaining enough flexibility to avoid harshness typical of stiffer aftermarket options. The kit includes four bushings and all necessary hardware, designed as a direct OEM replacement for straightforward installation. Perrin’s approach focuses on precision fitment and long-lasting performance, reflecting their reputation for quality Subaru drivetrain components.
For Subaru owners, this upgrade translates to a noticeable improvement in shift feel and drivetrain engagement. By minimizing flex in the transmission crossmember, the bushings help maintain alignment and reduce lash, which can otherwise dull throttle response and shift crispness. Whether on the street or track, this kit enhances the driving experience by delivering a more solid and predictable connection between the transmission and chassis, complementing other performance modifications and tuning efforts.
