Nissan Qashqai Gearbox Mount Replacement Parts

The Qashqai ran as the first generation (J10) from 2007 to 2013, then moved to the second generation (J11) from 2014 onwards, with a facelift in 2017 – and these generations use different platforms, so a mount from a 2015 J11 is very unlikely to fit a J10 from 2013 or earlier. Even within the J11 generation, mounting arrangements can vary by engine code, so crossing the 2017 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration and engine code rather than assume. Supply your engine code (found on your V5C or a VIN check) when requesting a quote, as this is the single most useful detail for matching mechanical parts.

Yes, engine type and engine code are the primary factors for gearbox mount fitment – a 1.5 dCi diesel mount will not necessarily match a 1.2 or 1.3 petrol, even on the same generation car. Always tell the breaker your exact engine code rather than just petrol or diesel, because there can be more than one petrol or diesel variant within the same model year. Your engine code appears on the V5C and is the most reliable way to ensure you're quoted the correct part.

Yes, gearbox type matters – a manual gearbox mount and an automatic (or CVT) gearbox mount are not the same part, as the gearbox units themselves differ in size and weight, which affects how the mount is designed and positioned. Always state your gearbox type alongside your engine code when contacting a breaker. If you're unsure whether your car is manual, automatic, or CVT, this will be shown on your V5C under gearbox type.

Trim level makes no difference to gearbox mount fitment – Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, and Tekna are all cosmetic and feature grades, and the gearbox mount is determined entirely by the engine code and gearbox type, not the badge on the tailgate. A mount from a base Visia with the same engine code as a top-spec Tekna is mechanically the same part. Do be aware that a breaker may describe a donor car by trim, but what matters is that the engine code and gearbox type match yours.

The J11 Qashqai was facelifted in 2017, and while the generation is the same, ancillary and mounting components can change mid-production, so you should not assume a pre-facelift (2014–2016) mount will directly swap onto a post-facelift (2017 onwards) car. The safest approach is to give the breaker your full registration and engine code so they can check the part against the exact build specification of your vehicle. Never assume fitment across the facelift boundary without the breaker confirming it.

Yes, the Nissan Qashqai does have a gearbox mount – it is a conventional transversely engined front-wheel-drive car (with some 4WD variants), and like all such vehicles it uses engine and transmission mounts to secure the drivetrain in the engine bay. A gearbox mount is a standard fitment across the range, regardless of whether your car is two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. If a breaker has suggested otherwise, it may be a terminology issue – the part is sometimes listed as a transmission mount or torque mount, so it is worth using all three terms when requesting quotes.
