Second Hand Nissan NP300 Clutch Slave Cylinder

The NP300 Navara uses a hydraulic clutch system on manual gearbox variants, so a clutch slave cylinder does exist on those versions — but only on manual transmission models; automatic gearbox NP300s do not have one. On many NP300 variants the slave cylinder is a concentric unit mounted inside the bellhousing on the gearbox input shaft, rather than an external cylinder on the side of the box. This means you need to confirm with the breaker whether the unit from their vehicle is the internal concentric type or an external slave, as mixing the two designs will not work.

The NP300 Navara (D23 generation) launched in the UK around 2015 and continued through the period, but Nissan introduced a significant facelift in 2019 that brought changes to the engine lineup and ancillary components. The engine code is the most important detail here — both years used the YD25DDTi 2.3-litre diesel in various states of tune, but whether the slave cylinder carried over across that facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration and engine code rather than assume.

Yes — engine code is the single most important detail for this part, more so than year or trim level. The NP300 Navara in the UK was predominantly diesel-powered (YD25DDTi variants), but the displacement, tune level, and paired gearbox type can all influence which concentric slave cylinder or external slave unit was fitted. Always supply your engine code — found on your V5C or via a VIN check — to the breaker so they can match the correct unit.

Trim level does not affect clutch slave cylinder fitment — the part follows the engine code and gearbox type, not whether the vehicle is an Acenta, Tekna, or any other grade. What you may notice when buying from a breaker is cosmetic differences in the surrounding area of the vehicle, but the mechanical slave cylinder itself is unaffected by trim. Focus your conversation with the breaker on matching engine code, gearbox type, and year rather than trim name.

Body style — whether single-cab, king-cab, or double-cab — does not affect clutch slave cylinder fitment, as the part is determined by the drivetrain configuration, not the cab layout. The engine code, gearbox type, and year are what matter, so do not let the body style difference put you off a otherwise well-matched part. Confirm the key mechanical details with the breaker and they can advise whether the unit is a direct match.

The 4WD or 2WD configuration itself does not directly change the clutch slave cylinder, but it can influence the gearbox type fitted, which in turn may affect the unit. Some gearbox variants paired with 4WD systems may use a different bellhousing layout or concentric slave cylinder specification compared to a 2WD model with the same engine. Give the breaker your full details — engine code, gearbox code if known, drivetrain layout, and registration — so they can check the part matches before you commit.
