Used Nissan Leaf Gear Stick

No — the Nissan Leaf is a fully electric vehicle and has never had a traditional gear stick or gearbox in any variant sold in the UK. Electric motors drive the wheels directly through a single fixed-ratio reduction gear, so there is no manual or automatic transmission requiring a gear selector lever. What you may be looking for instead is the drive selector (sometimes called the shift selector or PRND dial/switch), which controls Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive modes — search for 'Nissan Leaf drive selector' or 'Nissan Leaf gear selector switch' to find the correct part.

The Nissan Leaf ran in two main generations in the UK: the first generation (Mk1, 2011–2017) and the second generation (Mk2, 2018 onwards), with the Mk2 being a completely new platform with a restyled interior and a different selector unit design. These two generations use different drive selector assemblies and they are not interchangeable. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before ordering.

Both a 2013 and a 2016 Leaf fall within the first-generation Mk1 (2011–2017), so the platform and drivetrain are the same generation. That said, there were running production changes across the Mk1 lifespan, so confirm the part number against your registration with the breaker to be sure before purchasing.

Trim level does not affect the drive selector fitment on the Nissan Leaf — the selector is a mechanical and electrical drivetrain component, not a trim-specific item. A Visia, Acenta, or Tekna of the same generation will use the same unit, though there may be minor cosmetic differences in finish or surround depending on the interior spec. Confirm against your registration with the breaker, but trim alone should not be a barrier to fitment.

The Leaf e+ uses a larger 62 kWh battery pack and a more powerful motor, and while it shares the same Mk2 generation body and platform, the drive selector and associated wiring may differ between the standard and e+ variants. Because the selector interfaces with the drivetrain electronics, confirm compatibility against both registrations with the breaker before buying, as ECU pairing and coding considerations may also apply.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can identify your exact model year and variant, and also have your VIN to hand if possible — this confirms the battery size (24 kWh, 30 kWh, 40 kWh, or 62 kWh e+) and generation, which are the most relevant details for this part. Mention whether your car is a Mk1 (2011–2017) or Mk2 (2018 onwards) if you know it. Because the drive selector connects to the vehicle's electronics, also check with the breaker whether any coding or pairing to your car will be needed after fitting.
