Ford Transit Connect Gear Stick Replacement Parts

Both the 2013 and 2015 Transit Connect fall within the second-generation (Mk2) range, which ran from 2013 onwards, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility — but confirm with the breaker against your registration, as ancillary and mounting details can vary within a generation depending on engine code and gearbox type.

The first-generation Transit Connect ran from 2002 to 2013, and the second generation launched in 2013, so these are distinct platforms and a straight swap is very unlikely. Stick to parts from the same generation, and give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5 or a VIN check) to narrow it down further.

Trim level does not affect gear stick fitment on the Transit Connect — what matters is the engine code, fuel type (petrol or diesel), and gearbox type (manual or automatic). You may find cosmetic differences such as a different gaiter material or knob finish between trims, but the underlying mechanical part follows the drivetrain, not the badge.

The engine code is the single most useful detail you can supply, because gear stick and linkage specifications follow the gearbox and engine combination rather than the model year alone. Two Transit Connects from the same year can have different setups if they have different engines, so always check your V5 or run a VIN check before ordering.

Diesel and petrol Transit Connects can use different gearboxes, which means the gear stick and linkage may differ, so fuel type is an important filter when sourcing a used part. Share your engine code with the breaker so they can match the correct gearbox family rather than going on fuel type alone.

The Mk2 Transit Connect received a facelift in 2018, and while the core drivetrain architecture continued, ancillary and mounting details can change at a facelift point — confirm with the breaker whether the specific part crosses that 2018 boundary against your registration rather than assuming it will drop straight in.
