Drivetrain Mounts and Upgrades

Differential bushings are responsible for keeping the differential in solid alignment while dampening drivetrain vibration. While OE rubber bushings are fine when they are new from the factory, aged and worn out rubber bushings create a multitude of issues that can range from annoying to dangerous. As a factory bushing ages, it begins to harden and become brittle. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow for movement at the differential mounting point. At this point, the differential is free to shift under load causing a noticeable clunking noise under acceleration and deceleration and massively increasing the stress on the driveshaft and axles. Manual transmissions suffer the worst from this as it can make shifting difficult since the differential will shift when the clutch is engaged and disengaged.

By replacing these bushings with full polyurethane, the movement is eliminated since the mounting point is supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. This means less stress on the driveshaft and axles and greater longevity of supporting components. 

Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane differential bushings offer a supreme level of control, while still providing enough comfort for the street, with advanced polyurethane that reduces NVH that often accompanies lesser bushings. Expect improved acceleration response, more direct shifting feel and overall improved drivetrain composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane bushings.

Poweflex is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket suspension bushings. Using state of the art design and manufacturing, all replacement bushings are engineered to out-perform and out-last the ones that came in the car. Each line of bushings is meticulously tested and then re-tested to ensure perfect fitment and enduring quality through the life of the vehicle. A full lifetime warranty backs every one of their products and demonstrates the level of confidence and commitment Powerflex has to their customers.

MINI F56 Gearbox Mount Insert Kit - Street is designed to enhance the rigidity of the gearbox mount by filling the voids in the original rubber. This kit offers an effective and affordable solution to improve performance while maintaining street-friendly comfort.

• Enhanced Stiffness: Made from high-quality materials to reduce movement and enhance gearbox stability.
• Dual Material Options: Includes Yellow 70A durometer material for a balanced street application and Black 95A durometer material for those seeking higher rigidity.
• Improved Performance: Reduces drivetrain slop and improves gear shifts.
• Easy Installation: Designed as a direct replacement for the OEM mount, with cross-reference to OEM Part Number 22316853453.

The PFF5-220 Lower Torque Mount Bracket & Bushing (Yellow 70A and Purple 80A) serves as an exceptional replacement for the OE mount, addressing issues related to cracking and excessive engine movement. Offering a remarkable 300% stiffness compared to the OE counterpart, it's recommended for fast road use in standard or mildly tuned cars. With a CNC machined aluminum lower torque mount and various durometer bushing options, it significantly enhances on/off throttle handling and gear shifting precision. Moreover, it simplifies replacement with a hassle-free installation requiring just two bolts, omitting the need for pressing out any rubber. While delivering improved handling, it may introduce a slight increase in NVH, especially at idle, dependent on the chosen material's stiffness.
