The OVERTAKE Drivetrain Bushing Bundle puts our three driveline bushing upgrades for the Subaru 2008-2027 WRX and 2008-2021 STI in one box: the Rear Differential Bushing Insert Full Kit, the Transmission Crossmember Bushing Kit, and the Transmission Mount Insert. All three are polyurethane, and together they firm up the soft factory rubber at the transmission and the rear diff. If the shifter feels vague and the car rocks when you let the clutch out, you are feeling factory rubber move.
Subaru mounts the transmission and rear differential in soft, voided rubber to keep noise and vibration out of the cabin, and for a quiet commute that works. Push the car and that same rubber lets the gearbox and the diff shift around under load. The OVERTAKE Drivetrain Bushing Bundle is built for the manual transmission 2008-2027 WRX and 2008-2021 STI to tie down all three spots in one go. You are under the car once, and the whole driveline tightens up together.
What You'll Feel:
With the transmission and rear diff both held in place, the change shows up at the lever, the pedal, and the seat:
- More direct gear changes
- Less driveline slop on and off throttle
- Steadier clutch take-up
- Rear end that stays planted under load
- A drivetrain that feels connected
Features:
- 80A durometer polyurethane at the rear differential and transmission crossmember
- Molded 65A polyurethane transmission mount insert that fills the factory mount voids
- Rear diff inserts slip over the OEM bushings, crossmember bushings replace OEM with new stainless steel sleeves
- No cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications
The Details:
Most owners chase drivetrain slop on a Subaru one bushing at a time, and each one helps. This bundle covers the transmission crossmember, the transmission mount, and the rear differential in a single order. The crossmember and rear diff pieces are 80A polyurethane, and the mount insert is a softer 65A so transmission whine stays out of the cabin. The only part that changes between the two options is the mount insert, because the 2008-2021 WRX mount has three voids and the STI and 2022-2027 WRX mount has two. Figure about 20 minutes for the rear diff inserts, 60 for the crossmember bushings, and 20 to 30 for the mount insert, all with basic hand tools. Expect a little more NVH, and most owners take that trade for the added feedback.

Great kit all in one kit, and great install video. If you have aa '24 TR, get this instead of getting the seperate kit as the TR doens't come with washers on the top bolts. Start reverse order of the install on the lower bushings so you can use the supplied washers to sandwich those in. Then the uppers so you can install the washers with the bushing to hold everything in place and properly tight.
This kit helps to lock down drivetrain slop. By filling the factory rubber bushing voids, it sharpens throttle response and eliminates the annoying "thunk" during aggressive shifts without requiring a tedious press-out removal. Aka; super easy install and you can feel the difference immediately!! 100% recommend!
Excellent product quality and design. Easy to install and a great upgrade for tired diff bushings.
USPS shipping method could be better.
After a bit of spirted driving felt the difference no slop in the rear. PSA if the bushing is binding on the top pick tool to clean it out and bushing slides right in.
Highly recommend the rear differential bushing inserts for your build as it got rid of my hard launch wheel hop and makes the car feel more planted in the corners.
Easy install makes a slight difference, just what i needed.
Quality diff inserts, and quick shipping, AND A MAGNET! Easy install, and I needed it after doing a STI trans swap. Feels great, makes a slight difference and eliminate most wheel hope. Granted I've also install a DSS carbon DS.
My car feels a lot tighter and planted after installing these. This is how the VB should have came from the factory.
Easy to install and makes the rear diff feel more planted. Thanks Overtake!!
Love the color and they fit well. The fact they have installation videos online also really helps.
Fit my 2016 sti well.
Works great
Bought the fill rear diff insert kit through a local performance shop, and installed them this past weekend. After torquing everything down and going for a drive, my car felt immediately more planted. I'm trying to do what I can to make my VB feel and drive sharp, and these did the trick.
I put the throttle down a little more, and the car just scoots. Gone is the feeling that the rear is a little shaky, and hello to planted performance. Overtake is now my first choice of mods to my car (shhh, may replace some existing mods with overtake versions down the road).
Great part fitment and improved performance.
Easy install. I backed up my VA STi on ramps and had plenty of space for the install. Definitely lube all the contact points for an easier install; it'll go into the cavities a lot smoother. I used a "C" clamp to get the diff mount bushings pushed in.
Car feels more planted and less "hop" for sure. Another inexpensive quality part.
Very simple and quick installation and very noticeable improvement in rear end stability.
Excellent quality as always!
These were a perfect fit on my 2022 Crosstrek (6MT). The factory bushings were pretty tired after 90k miles, but slipping these on tightened up most of the shock I was experiencing at low speeds. The best part is, the whole install only too me about 25 minutes! The inserts went in a lot easier then they did in the install video, probably due to the mileage and wear on my factory bushings.
Super easy install, reduced my wheel hop on hard launches
This was a nice quick install. Watch the install video and do the bottom support first, using the two washers to help push the bushings into place. Don't forget the grease! Having a pry bar to help seat the upper ones really helps. On the test drive it was noticeably firmer. No extra NVH (I already had the transmission mount and bushings done, so I'm already used to that) Great product, wish I had done it sooner, but glad I didn't and could support Overtake!
