Fitment questions

Will a gearbox from an older Nissan NV300 fit my newer one?

The Nissan NV300 is based on the Renault Trafic III platform and was sold in the UK from around 2016 onwards as a single generation, so year-to-year swaps within that run are a reasonable starting point — but ancillary bracket and mounting changes can occur mid-production without a model-year boundary, so always confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Does the engine code matter more than the year when buying a used NV300 gearbox?

Yes — for a mechanical part like a gearbox, the engine code is the single most important detail, sitting above year, body style, or trim level. The NV300 was offered with 1.6-litre twin-turbo and single-turbo diesel units carrying different engine codes, and gearboxes are matched to those codes rather than to the badge or year alone. Pull the engine code from your V5C or a VIN check and give it to the breaker before agreeing a price.

Does the trim level affect which gearbox I need — for example, does a Tekna or Acenta NV300 use a different box to a base-spec van?

Trim level does not affect gearbox fitment on the NV300 — Tekna, Acenta, and base-grade vans with the same engine code and the same gearbox type (manual or automatic) share the same unit. You may find cosmetic or comfort differences between trim levels on a donor vehicle, but these have no bearing on whether the gearbox itself will suit your van. Match on engine code and gearbox type, not on trim badge.

I have a manual NV300 — can I use a gearbox from an automatic NV300, or vice versa?

No — manual and automatic gearboxes are completely different units and are not interchangeable; fitting an automatic box to a manual vehicle requires extensive additional work well beyond a straight swap. Always confirm to the breaker whether you need a manual or automatic unit at the point of enquiry, along with your engine code and registration.

Does it matter whether my NV300 is a panel van or a window van when sourcing a gearbox?

Body style has no bearing on gearbox fitment — the drivetrain components follow the engine code and gearbox type, not the body configuration. A gearbox from a panel-van donor will suit a window-van recipient provided the engine codes and gearbox types match. Concentrate on those mechanical details rather than body style when speaking to a breaker.

Will a Renault Trafic gearbox fit my Nissan NV300?

The NV300 shares its platform and drivetrain architecture with the Renault Trafic III (2014-onwards), so there is a reasonable basis for cross-brand compatibility at the gearbox level — however, mounting, ancillary, and ECU-pairing specifics can vary between production runs and markets. Give the breaker both vehicles' engine codes and registrations and let them confirm fitment before purchasing, as we cannot guarantee a cross-brand swap will be a straight fit.
