Second Hand Nissan NP300 Gearbox Mount

The NP300 Navara (the variant sold in the UK) ran from around 2016 onwards as the D23 generation, replacing the D40 which ran from 2005 to 2015, and these two generations use different platforms and drivetrains so mounts do not cross between them. Within the D23 generation there may be running changes mid-production, so always confirm against your registration with the breaker rather than assuming any D23 mount will drop straight in. The engine code from your V5 is the most useful detail you can give the breaker.

Both years fall within the D23 generation (2016 onwards), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but Nissan did make mechanical updates across that generation and mounting arrangements can change mid-run. Give the breaker your engine code and registration so they can confirm the part matches before you commit. Never assume year-range alone guarantees a straight swap.

Yes, the NP300 Navara is a rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive pickup truck with a longitudinally mounted engine and a separate gearbox, so a gearbox mount (also called a transmission mount) is a genuine part of the drivetrain. If the vehicle were front-wheel-drive with a transverse engine the mount arrangement would be very different, but that does not apply to the NP300. You are looking for the right part on the right vehicle.

The NP300 Navara sold in the UK is overwhelmingly diesel, with the 2.3-litre twin-turbo diesel (engine code YS23) being the standard fitment on D23 models; a petrol variant was not a mainstream UK offering. Because the gearbox mount follows the engine and gearbox combination, always quote your engine code to the breaker so they can match the mount to your exact drivetrain rather than going by fuel type alone.

Trim level does not affect the gearbox mount — Acenta, Tekna, N-Guard, and other NP300 trim grades all share the same underlying drivetrain and mounting points as long as the engine and gearbox type are the same. You may find cosmetic differences on parts sourced from higher trims, but for a mechanical component like this the trim badge is irrelevant. Confirm engine code and gearbox type with the breaker and trim need not enter the conversation.

No, the gearbox mount is specific to the type of gearbox fitted, so a manual transmission mount and an automatic transmission mount are not interchangeable even if the engine code is the same. When contacting a breaker, tell them both your engine code and whether your vehicle has a manual or automatic gearbox to ensure the correct mount is supplied. The breaker can then cross-reference against their donor vehicle to confirm suitability.
