Second Hand Nissan NP300 Gear Stick

Yes, but only on manual-gearbox variants — the NP300 Navara was offered with both manual and automatic transmissions, and only the manual versions have a conventional gear stick. If your truck has an automatic gearbox, there is no traditional gear stick to replace; you would be looking for an automatic gear selector assembly instead. Check your V5 or a VIN check to confirm which gearbox your vehicle has before searching.

The NP300 Navara runs from 2016 onwards in the UK, with a facelift arriving around 2019-2021 depending on market, and minor production changes can affect ancillary fittings and mountings mid-run. The engine code is the most reliable starting point for compatibility — a manual gear stick from a matching engine-code and gearbox-type donor is your best lead. Whether a pre-facelift unit crosses over to a post-facelift vehicle cleanly is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as mounting and surround details can differ.

Fuel type itself does not directly dictate the gear stick, but the engine code does, because different engines were paired with different gearbox variants, and the gear stick and linkage are matched to the gearbox rather than the engine badge. The NP300 sold in the UK was predominantly diesel (the 2.3-litre twin-turbo dCi in various states of tune), so most used gear sticks in circulation will be from diesel donors. Give the breaker your engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — to make sure the gearbox type matches.

Trim level — whether Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, or any other grade — does not affect mechanical fitment of the gear stick, as it is determined by the gearbox type and engine code, not the badge on the tailgate. You may notice cosmetic differences such as the gaiter material, stitching, or gear knob finish between trim levels, so if appearance matters you should check what the donor vehicle was specced to. Cab style (King Cab versus Double Cab) also makes no difference to which gear stick fits.

Both years fall within the NP300 Navara generation, but a 2018 unit sits pre-facelift and a 2022 unit is post-facelift, and there may be ancillary or mounting differences across that boundary that are not always obvious. Start by matching the engine code and gearbox type between the donor and your vehicle, which is the most critical compatibility check. For the specific question of whether the pre- and post-facelift gear sticks interchange directly, confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

The single most useful thing is your engine code, which you can find on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check — this tells the breaker which gearbox variant the part needs to match. You should also confirm you have a manual gearbox (not automatic), your model year, and ideally the gearbox code if you have it. Trim level and cab style are not needed for fitment purposes, though mentioning them can help if you want a gear knob or gaiter that matches your interior.
