Nissan X-Trail Gearbox Mount Replacement Parts

The X-Trail runs across three main UK generations: the T30 (2001–2007), the T31 (2007–2013), and the T32 (2013–2022), and mounts are not interchangeable across these generations as the engine and subframe layouts differ significantly between them. Within a generation, fitment is primarily driven by engine code and gearbox type (manual or automatic), so always supply your engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — when getting quotes from a breaker. Cross-generation fitment will not work, and even within a generation you should confirm the specific mount position and part reference with the breaker against your registration.

Fuel type affects engine and gearbox dimensions, so a mount from a diesel variant is unlikely to be a direct fit on a petrol variant even within the same generation, and vice versa. The engine code is the most reliable guide here — a T31 2.0 dCi diesel (engine code M9R) and a T31 2.0 petrol (engine code MR20DE) use different gearboxes and associated mounting hardware. Always quote your engine code to the breaker rather than just the fuel type to make sure you get the correct mount.

Yes, gearbox type is one of the key fitment factors for a gearbox mount, because manual and automatic gearboxes are physically different units with different mounting points and bracket designs. A mount sourced from a manual T32, for example, will not suit an automatic T32 even if everything else matches. Tell the breaker your engine code and confirm whether your car is manual or automatic so they can pull the right part.

Trim level has no bearing on gearbox mount fitment whatsoever — the Visia, Acenta, and Tekna all share the same mechanical drivetrain within a given engine and gearbox combination, so the mount is identical across trims. What matters is the engine code, gearbox type (manual or automatic), and generation (T30, T31, or T32). You may find cosmetic or interior differences when collecting a part from a breaker's vehicle, but none of that affects whether the mount fits your car.

The T31 ran until 2013 and the T32 was introduced in 2013, so a 2013 X-Trail could genuinely be either generation depending on when it was registered, which makes this a critical distinction because the two generations use entirely different engines and gearbox mounting arrangements. The quickest way to establish which generation you have is to check the engine code on your V5 or run a VIN check. Once you know your generation and engine code, give both to the breaker so they can confirm the correct mount for your specific vehicle.

The 2.5 petrol (engine code QR25DE) was available in the T30 and T31 generations in the UK, though it was less common than the diesel variants, so availability from breakers may be more limited than for the dCi diesel versions. When contacting breakers on Findapart, quote the QR25DE engine code specifically rather than just '2.5 petrol' to help them identify the right part quickly. Confirm the gearbox type and the exact mount position required with the breaker, as there can be more than one mounting point on the gearbox assembly.
