A one-piece transmission crossmember for manual-transmission Subarus. It weighs 7 lbs, about half as much as stock, and removes two pairs of stock bushings, so the transmission moves less and shifts feel tighter. It uses OEM-style transmission mounts, stock or aftermarket, and comes with grade 10.9 hardware.
Which one do I need?
| If your car | Choose |
|---|---|
| Is a GC, GD or GR chassis car with a manual transmission | Transmission Cross Member (this one) |
| Is a 2015-2021 STI | Transmission Cross Member (this one) |
| Is a 2015-2021 WRX with a manual transmission | 2015+ WRX Transmission Cross Member |
| Has an automatic transmission | Neither. Both crossmembers are for manual transmissions only. |
The two crossmembers are mirror images of each other. This one clears the exhaust on the right-hand side of the car, which suits every car above, including the 2015-2021 STI. The 2015+ WRX version clears it on the left side, for the WRX's FA20 exhaust routing.

Common questions
Will it fit my automatic?
No. It's made for manual transmissions only.
Do I need new transmission mounts?
No. It uses OEM-style mounts, so your stock mounts or aftermarket OEM-style mounts will fit.
Why are there two versions?
Exhaust routing. This one clears the exhaust on the right-hand side. The 2015+ WRX's FA20 exhaust runs on the left, so its version is mirrored to clear that side.
I have a 2015-2021 STI. Which one do I need?
This one. The STI's exhaust runs on the right-hand side, like the earlier cars. The 2015+ WRX version is only for the WRX.
Can I get it powder coated?
Yes, as an option on the product page. Powder coating adds about 2-6 weeks. See Powder Coating.
