Used Ford B-Max Gear Stick

Only manual-gearbox versions of the Ford B-Max have a conventional gear stick — the B-Max was also offered with a PowerShift automatic transmission, which uses a rotary dial or selector rather than a traditional gear lever. If your B-Max is an automatic, you won't be looking for a gear stick but instead a gear selector unit, so confirm your gearbox type before searching. Check your V5 or do a VIN check to be certain which transmission your car has.

The Ford B-Max was produced as a single generation from 2012 to 2017 with no full generational change, though there were minor mid-production updates around 2015. Within the manual variants, fitment is most closely tied to engine code and gearbox type — for example, a 1.0 EcoBoost unit uses a different gearbox to the 1.6 TDCi, so a gear stick from one won't necessarily match the other. Always give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) to confirm the stick and its associated mechanism will match your specific setup.

Trim level — whether Zetec, Titanium, or another — does not affect the mechanical fitment of a gear stick on the B-Max, as the gear lever is determined by engine code and gearbox type, not the badge on the car. You may find cosmetic differences such as a different gaiter material, knob finish, or surround depending on specification, so be aware a used part from a lower trim may look slightly different even if it fits correctly. Tell the breaker your trim only if you want a visually matching item, not because it changes whether it will physically fit.

It's very unlikely, as the 1.0 EcoBoost and the larger-displacement petrol engines use different gearboxes with different internal selector mechanisms, meaning the gear sticks are not interchangeable. Engine code is the most reliable way to match the part — provide your code (stamped on the engine or listed on the V5) to the breaker and ask them to match it against the donor vehicle's code. Never assume fitment based on fuel type or engine size alone.

Fuel type is a key fitment factor here because petrol and diesel B-Max models are paired with different gearboxes — for instance, the 1.6 TDCi uses a different transmission to the 1.0 or 1.4 petrol units, and the gear sticks and selector mechanisms are not shared between them. The safest approach is to match by engine code rather than simply by fuel type, as there were multiple diesel and petrol options across the production run. Give the breaker both your fuel type and your engine code so they can identify the correct donor vehicle.

The B-Max ran as a single generation from 2012 to 2017, but there were minor production updates during this period, and ancillary or mounting details on interior components can change subtly mid-run. For cars on opposite sides of the approximate 2015 update point, the core fitment still depends primarily on engine code and gearbox type, but you should confirm with the breaker whether any mounting or surround changes apply to your specific registration. Providing your full registration or engine code to the breaker is the reliable way to check this rather than relying on year alone.
