Second Hand Nissan Juke Transfer Box

Only certain Nissan Juke variants were fitted with a transfer box — specifically those with four-wheel drive (4WD), which Nissan offered as an option on some petrol models. Front-wheel-drive Jukes, which make up the majority sold in the UK, never had a transfer box fitted at all, so if you have a FWD Juke this part simply does not exist on your vehicle. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm whether your Juke is 4WD before searching for this part.

In the first-generation Juke (2010–2019), the 4WD transfer box was associated with the 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine — the engine code is the most reliable way to confirm this, and your V5 or a VIN check will show it. The 1.5-litre diesel and the non-turbo 1.6-litre petrol were generally front-wheel drive only and would not have had a transfer box. The second-generation Juke (2019 onwards) was launched without a 4WD option, so no transfer box exists on any Mk2 variant.

Both years fall within the first-generation Juke (Mk1, 2010–2019), with a facelift arriving around 2014, so you are potentially crossing a production boundary. Engine code is the most important matching point here — a transfer box from a same-engine-code 4WD Juke is the best starting point. Whether any ancillary or mounting changes occurred around the 2014 facelift that affect direct fitment is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration before purchasing.

Trim level does not determine which transfer box was fitted — what matters is whether your Juke is 4WD and which engine code it has. Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, and other trim grades could each be specified with or without 4WD depending on the order, so two Jukes of the same trim can have completely different drivetrain layouts. Always confirm 4WD status and engine code with your breaker rather than relying on trim name alone.

The Juke Nismo used the same 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine as other 4WD Jukes in the first generation, so the engine code is still the primary fitment guide. Whether the Nismo-specification transfer box is identical to the standard 4WD unit or differs in any way should be confirmed with the breaker against your registration, as performance variants can sometimes carry modified ancillaries. Do not assume interchangeability on the basis of engine similarity alone without that check.

A transfer box fault is plausible if your Juke is a first-generation 4WD model, as this unit manages the drive split between the front and rear axles. When contacting a breaker, give them your full registration, engine code (from your V5 or a VIN check), and confirm that your vehicle is the 4WD variant — this is more useful than the trim name or year alone. Bear in mind that transfer box units may require coding or calibration to your vehicle, so confirm with the breaker and your chosen installer whether any additional work will be needed after fitting.
