Fitment Information:
2002-2014 Subaru WRX (5-speed transmission)
2005-2012 Subaru Legacy GT (5-speed transmission)
2005-2009 Subaru Outback XT (5-speed transmission)
2004-2008 Subaru Forester XT (5-speed transmission)
Features:
This 5-speed transmission brace is bolted through existing bolt locations that hold the two halves of the transmission together (the transmission will have to be either lowered or removed for the installation). By bolting these plates onto the outside around the gear set the stiffness of the case is increased, improving gear mesh tolerances under shock loading and high torque situations.
The plates increase the torsional rigidity of the manual transmission housing, which contributes to the stable position of the gears in the pairs of engagement. Significantly
extends 3rd gear life.
Built to Order with a 2-3 week wait (unless indicated in stock)

Everything installed perfectly, just a heads up you’ll need to drop the transmission to install this
Recently replaced my Clutch because my Clutch Fork broke just from moving from a stand still,so I decided to do the whole assembly for peice of mind,I replaced the clutch fork with a Verus forged clutch fork and Verus pivot,paired with a stage 1 exedy Clutch and IAG trans mount . I'm not planning on pushing alot of power with this Clutch ,but I will later with a Clutch that can handle more torque but pairing all of that with the Kein Blast plates makes a game changing difference on the 5 speed WRX ,not only do you feel it put more power down,but overall shifting improves in high and low gear,this is a great solution for those trying to make extra power on the 5 speed platform reliably.Its not the 6 speed STI,but you can tell it can hold mid 300s no problem now.Other people have made more power on them but my goal until the 6 speed swap is reliability right now.
Great product thank you guys so much. Have a good rest of your week later Glenn.😎👍
Bought and installed while building Trans. Great part easy install and adds piece of mind
Needed them for my 5 speed as I am putting a iag shortblock in and I must say these blast plates are hefty and I am sure they will do the job
Super easy to install
Well made product to withstand the stress caused by weak transmission casing. The product is simple, with a very nice powder coat finish that going to last!
Easy install while my transmission was out to replace the clutch. Quality parts, fast shipping.
They work like they should
