Powerflex has just released a new bush insert for the Porsche 997 Gen 1.
PFR57-532 GEARBOX MOUNTING BUSH INSERT fits manual gearboxes with a single bush in the end casing (excluding Turbo, GT2 & GT3 models, which use PFR57-531). Retail price: £35.94 inc. VAT.
The OE rubber mounts are designed with voiding and have comfort in mind; however, this makes them prone to softening and tearing with age. This causes excessive gearbox and engine movement, resulting in imprecise gear shifting as well as adversely impacting on the handling of the vehicle.
By filling the voids in the OE bush, the feel, handling, power delivery and the positivity of gear changes are noticeably improved.
For vehicles used in Motorsports or predominately on track, these parts are also available in the Powerflex Black Series range which is manufactured using a 95 Shore A compound that boasts 25% increased stiffness over the Powerflex Purple 80 Shore A performance material.
All Powerflex bushes, of course, carry a Lifetime Warranty.
