Fitment on a used gearbox varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Also known as: gear box, transmission.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
