A buyer's guide to used Mercedes-Benz CLS gearbox
No two gearboxs are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
- State whether it's manual or automatic
- State the gearbox code if known
- State if it's 2WD or 4WD

Fitment questions
Does a gearbox from a 2012 CLS fit a 2015 CLS?
The CLS (C218) ran from 2011 to 2018, with a facelift arriving in 2014, so a 2012 and a 2015 car both sit within the same generation but on opposite sides of that facelift boundary. Engine code is the critical factor here — if both cars share the same engine code, mechanical fitment is much more likely, but ancillary and mounting changes introduced at the 2014 facelift mean you should confirm the exact compatibility with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Will a CLS 350 gearbox fit a CLS 250?
The 350 and 250 are badges reflecting different engines — the 350 is typically a V6 petrol and the 250 a four-cylinder diesel — so their gearboxes are built for completely different drivetrains and will not interchange. Always go by the engine code shown on your V5 or a VIN check rather than the badge, as that is the detail breakers need to find the right unit for your car.
Does it matter whether I have a CLS AMG Line or a standard CLS when buying a used gearbox?
Trim level does not affect gearbox fitment on the CLS — the AMG Line is a styling and equipment package, not a different drivetrain, so the gearbox follows the engine code, not the trim. A gearbox from an AMG Line car can in principle suit a standard-trim car with the same engine code, though you may receive a unit with cosmetically different ancillaries; confirm the specifics with the breaker against your registration.
Does a petrol CLS gearbox fit a diesel CLS?
No — petrol and diesel engines use entirely different gearboxes, and fitting a petrol unit to a diesel car (or vice versa) is not viable regardless of year or generation. Always tell the breaker your fuel type and engine code so they can source the correct unit.
Do I need to worry about ECU or immobiliser pairing when fitting a used CLS gearbox?
On modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles the gearbox ECU can be paired to the vehicle, and immobiliser or adaptation coding may be required after fitting a used unit. You should raise this directly with your breaker and the workshop carrying out the installation, as we cannot confirm coding requirements for your specific car.
Does a gearbox from a first-generation CLS (C219) fit the second-generation CLS (C218)?
The first-generation CLS (C219) ran from 2004 to 2010, and the second-generation (C218) from 2011 to 2018 — these are distinct platforms with different drivetrains, so gearboxes from the two generations will not interchange. Stick to sourcing a unit from the correct generation, matching your engine code, and confirm fitment with the breaker against your registration.
