Nissan Terrano Gearbox Mount Replacement Parts

Yes, the Nissan Terrano is a body-on-frame 4WD SUV built around a transfer case and either a manual or automatic gearbox, so it does have a gearbox mount (also sometimes called a transmission mount) as part of its drivetrain mounting arrangement. The mount sits between the gearbox and the chassis crossmember and is a genuine wear item on this vehicle. If you are searching for this part, it genuinely exists across Terrano variants sold in the UK.

The Terrano II was sold in the UK from 1993 to 2006, with a facelift arriving around 1999 that brought some structural and trim updates. Parts from within the same pre-facelift (1993–1999) or post-facelift (1999–2006) period are more likely to interchange, but crossing that 1999 boundary is where mounting arrangements can vary - confirm any cross-boundary swap with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.

Yes, engine and drivetrain combination is the most important factor here - the Terrano II was available with the 2.7 TD diesel and the 3.0 Di diesel among UK-market engines, and the gearbox housings and crossmember positions can differ between them. Your engine code (found on the V5 or via a VIN check) is the single most useful detail you can give a breaker when sourcing this part. Do not assume a mount from a different engine variant will line up correctly without the breaker confirming it against your registration.

No, trim level does not affect the gearbox mount - SE, Sport, and SGX are specification grades covering interior and cosmetic equipment, not drivetrain engineering differences. What matters is the engine code and gearbox type, not the badge on the tailgate. You may find cosmetic differences between stripped-out donor vehicles and your own, but the mount itself is determined by the mechanical layout, not the trim.

Yes, manual and automatic gearboxes sit differently and use different casings, so the mount and crossmember position can differ between the two. Always tell the breaker whether your Terrano is a manual or automatic when requesting a quote, alongside your engine code. Fitting a mount intended for the other gearbox type is unlikely to work and is not something a breaker can reliably advise on without your registration details.

The original Terrano (the smaller D21-based model sold briefly in the UK in the late 1980s and early 1990s) and the later Terrano II (the R20 platform sold 1993–2006) are fundamentally different vehicles with different drivetrains, so their gearbox mounts are not interchangeable. Always make clear to the breaker which generation you have, ideally with your registration or chassis number, to avoid being sent the wrong part. The Terrano II is by far the more common donor vehicle at UK breakers.
