A used gear stick that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
Only manual-gearbox versions of the CX-3 have a traditional gear stick — the majority of CX-3s sold in the UK came with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which uses a rotary or conventional selector rather than a gear stick in the traditional sense. If your CX-3 is an automatic, what you may actually be looking for is the gear selector or gear selector surround, not a gear stick. Check your V5 or a VIN check to confirm whether your car has a manual or automatic gearbox before searching.
The Mazda CX-3, produced from 2015 onwards, was offered with a 6-speed manual gearbox on certain lower-powered engine variants — primarily the 2.0-litre petrol (SkyActiv-G) in front-wheel-drive form and the 1.5-litre diesel (SkyActiv-D) in some markets, though UK manual availability was limited and varied by year. The higher-powered 2.0-litre with AWD and the later 2.5-litre petrol were predominantly automatic-only in UK specification. Confirm with your supplying breaker that your specific registration code matches a manual variant before ordering a gear stick.
The Mazda CX-3 received a significant facelift for the 2018 model year, and while the underlying platform was carried over, interior trim and switchgear saw updates that could affect whether the gear stick assembly and its surround interchange directly. The engine code is the most reliable guide here — if both cars share the same engine code and gearbox type, there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but ancillary and mounting changes across the 2018 facelift boundary mean you should confirm fitment with the breaker against your exact registration rather than assuming a straight swap.
Trim level does not affect the mechanical fitment of the gear stick itself — the gearbox type and engine code are what matter, not whether the car is SE, Sport Nav, or GT Sport. What can differ across trims is the gear knob finish or gaiter material, so a gear stick from a base-spec car may look slightly different to one from a higher trim, but the underlying fitment should be the same where the gearbox matches. If appearance matters to you, let the breaker know your trim level so they can try to match the finish.
The most important detail is the engine code, which you can find on your V5 logbook or by running a VIN check — ask the breaker to confirm the engine code from the donor vehicle and compare it to yours. Gearbox type (6-speed manual) must also match, and checking whether the donor is pre- or post-2018 facelift will help flag any potential mounting or trim differences. Never rely on the year or model name alone, as mid-production changes can affect compatibility in ways that aren't always documented publicly.
