SpidermanMTL Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm trying to install it and with the oem there is about an 1/8" gap between the trans and the mount whereas with the perrin mount i have about a 1/4".. does it matter? Will it change anything? I emailed perrin but they couldn't confirm fitment. However a couple companies make mounts and say they are compatible, so i assumed it would work . Also all the pics if the perrin installed havr the gap.. I'm going to install and see whats what.

DrD123 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 picture? the mount is 1/4" short of where it needs to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidermanMTL Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 I installed it all seems well. I guess what i was asking was should the trans rest on the mount?.. but after searching the internet i noticed that they have a little space between.

SpidermanMTL Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Please make a thread with part number and install info. I would but the instructions that are included with the piece are dead on.... and Perrin refuses to admit it works on a 5th gen, I don't want to mislead anyone, cause if they ask/call Perrin they'll tell you it doesn't fit.

Rutchard Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Did you use the 5-speed adapter plate that came with it? (Assuming it's the one Zee linked to) IIRC, 5th gens use the 5MT version of the Group-N mount as opposed to the 6MT STi version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please make a thread, don't be lazy now. If it wasn't for the threads that many of us have made, you wouldn't have easily found all the latest new parts available since you left us a few years ago, or the part number for the little transmission plate. And that bushing wasn't supposed to fit our cars either. Show us the part number and take photos of the instructions and what you did. This wouldn't be the first time Perrin has said "it doesn't fit" only to find out that a bunch of us installed something. They will eventually see the thread and chime in, they are members here.

SpidermanMTL Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Ok.. ok you're right.. I'll get under the car and grab some pics.the reason i usually don't do install guides is because i'm far from an allstar mechanic.. and i'm usually concentrating on what im doing and not on the picture/writeups. Also time is usually a big factor.. 2 kids under 5. .. but those are just excuses and i'll try and step up my game. . and yup it's the PSP-DRV-150* I used the 5speed adaptor because there is a space between the mount and crossmember.

cww516 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Our 6-speed is basically the old 5-speed with an extra gear stuffed in, so that makes sense that you needed it. Generally, anything Subaru-related that specifies "6-speed" refers to the STI transmission, unless it explicitly mentions the '15+ WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesedil Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I haven't been to Perrin in a while. Is this a part that I should check with them to see if they're interested in confirming fitment? I'm a short drive away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidermanMTL Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 I was under the car last night and grabbed a couple of photos, couple of "tricky" moves are required. 1. you'll need to remove the two bolts that hold the bushings to the mount to install the mount to the car or you'll have trouble accessing the 4 bolts. 2. you need to use the 5 speed plate without it theres a gap between the cross member and the mount. Other than that its pretty straightforward, follow the perrin instructions. after a couple hundred kms, i like it, i'n not sure if its better or worse than the 5speed sti group n I had on my last lgt. I get a little whine, but am going to change the trans oil soon, that should help.
