Second Hand Mercedes-Benz X-Class Gearbox Mount

Yes, the X-Class does have a gearbox mount — it is a body-on-frame pickup truck built on the Nissan Navara NP300 platform, and all variants were fitted with a gearbox and associated mounting hardware. The X-Class was sold in the UK from 2017 to 2020 and was available with both manual and automatic gearboxes, and with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, so the gearbox mount you need will depend on which drivetrain and gearbox type your vehicle has. Always check your engine code and gearbox type before ordering.

The Mercedes-Benz X-Class ran as a single generation from 2017 to 2020 with no major facelift, so in broad terms the model range was consistent throughout production. That said, ancillary and mounting changes can occur mid-production even within a single generation, so whether a 2017-sourced mount directly swaps onto a 2019 vehicle is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration and engine code rather than assume. The engine code is the most reliable detail to supply when asking a breaker.

No, the trim level does not affect gearbox mount fitment on the X-Class — Progressive, Stylish, and Power are cosmetic and equipment grades, not different mechanical platforms. What matters is your engine code, fuel type (diesel in virtually all UK X-Class models), and whether your vehicle has a manual or automatic gearbox. Supply those details to the breaker and trim level can be ignored entirely.

Yes, this is very likely to matter — the 2.3-litre four-cylinder (engine codes YS23, engine family shared with the Nissan Navara) and the 3.0-litre V6 diesel (engine code OM642) are significantly different units, and the gearbox and its mounting arrangement may differ between them. Always quote your engine code when approaching a breaker, as a mount sourced from the wrong engine variant may not fit. Your engine code is printed on your V5C or can be found via a VIN check.

Because the X-Class is built on the Nissan Navara NP300 platform, there is a reasonable possibility that some mechanical components including gearbox mounts are shared, particularly on the 2.3-litre engine variants. However, Mercedes did make some modifications to the platform for the X-Class, so whether a specific Navara mount will interchange directly is something you must confirm with the breaker against both registrations before buying. A good breaker familiar with both models will be able to cross-reference part numbers for you.

Yes, this is likely to matter — an X-Class with four-wheel drive has a transfer case and additional drivetrain components that are absent on the rear-wheel-drive variant, which can affect the gearbox and its mounting arrangement. When contacting a breaker, confirm not just your engine code but also whether your vehicle is the rear-wheel-drive or 4Matic four-wheel-drive version. Supplying your full registration or VIN is the most reliable way to make sure you get the correct mount.
