Bushing Insert - MT-82 Trans Mount 11-21

The Bushing Insert - MT-82 Trans Mount 11-21 from Steeda Autosports is a precision polyurethane transmission mount insert engineered for 2011–2021 Ford Mustangs equipped with the Getrag MT-82 manual transmission. This component addresses a critical weak point in stock drivetrain mounting systems: factory rubber bushings deteriorate under engine vibration and load transfer, resulting in excessive play between the transmission and chassis. Upgrading to a polyurethane insert eliminates this movement, directly improving shift quality, reducing gear rattle, and enhancing overall powertrain responsiveness.

Steeda's polyurethane formulation outperforms OEM rubber in durability and load retention by resisting heat cycling, oil exposure, and the constant micro-flexing that causes factory bushings to crack or harden prematurely. The material maintains its shape under sustained engine torque while absorbing vibration frequencies that could otherwise transmit through the chassis frame. At just 0.24 lbs and measuring 4.9 x 1.9 x 7.7 inches, the insert fits precisely into the OEM transmission mount cavity, requiring no fabrication or modifications to the existing mount structure. The black color indicates standard polyurethane curing and has no functional impact on performance.

Enthusiasts performing transmission mounts replacement will find this insert essential whether undertaking routine maintenance or building a modified Mustang with upgraded power levels. Installation requires removing the transmission mount bracket, pressing out the worn bushing, and installing the new polyurethane insert—a straightforward task for anyone with basic mechanical skill and access to a hydraulic press or bearing puller. This component is particularly valuable in high-performance applications where increased engine output amplifies vibration and bushing stress, making the durability advantage of polyurethane immediately noticeable during acceleration and gear changes. Direct fitment to MT-82 equipped models ensures compatibility without fitment guesswork.
