Whiteline Transmission Mount Insert for 17-21 Civic Type-R

Whiteline Transmission Mount Insert Bushing for 17-21 Honda Civic Type-R

The Whiteline Transmission Mount Insert Bushing is the simple fix for the floppy factory gearbox mount on the FK8. This Whiteline Civic Type R bushing, SKU: WYT-KDT967, drops into the voids in the OEM transmission mount on Honda Civic Type R FK8 cars, 2017 through 2021. Honda leaves big empty pockets in the rubber to keep NVH down, which feels nice on the commute, but it also lets the drivetrain rock around when you get on and off throttle hard or bang a quick shift.

This is not a full mount replacement. It’s a single Honda FK8 bushing insert that fills that empty space, so the mount can’t squish and twist as much in the direction the insert supports. In the real world, that usually means you feel less drivetrain slop, you get a more planted shift, and the gearbox stays where you expect it to be.

We like this route when you want better control than a stock Civic Type R mount gives you, but you don’t want the parts count, cost, or downtime of swapping the whole mount assembly. It’s also easy to undo later since your factory mount stays in the car, which matters if you ever plan to return the car to stock.

Considerations

• You’ll usually notice a moderate bump in NVH. More vibration and a little more buzz through the cabin is the trade for better control. If you want zero extra noise, don’t do mount inserts.
• You don’t need an alignment just because you installed this Transmission insert Civic Type R part.
