Second Hand Peugeot 207 Gearbox

The Peugeot 207 ran as a single generation from 2006 to 2012, so a 2009 box and a 2007 box sit within the same generation — a good starting point for compatibility. However, fitment ultimately follows the engine code rather than the model year, so make sure the engine codes on both vehicles match exactly; you'll find yours on your V5 or via a VIN check. Supply your registration and engine code to the breaker so they can confirm the specific unit is a match before you buy.

Engine code matters above everything else — two 207s built in the same year can carry completely different gearboxes depending on which engine is fitted, and a mismatch will mean the box won't work correctly. The year gives a rough steer, but the engine code (stamped on the block and listed on your V5 or a VIN check) is the single most useful detail you can give a breaker. Always quote it when requesting a quote on Findapart.

Trim level — whether your 207 is an S, SE, GT, or any other badge — does not affect gearbox fitment; the box is determined by the engine fitted, not the trim name. A GT and an SE running the same engine code will take the same gearbox, so don't be put off by trim differences when sourcing a used unit. Do bear in mind that higher trims sometimes carry different ancillary fittings around the gearbox, so confirm any bracket or sensor differences with the breaker against your specific registration.

No — manual and automatic gearboxes are completely different units and are not interchangeable; you must source the same type as the one currently in your car. When contacting a breaker on Findapart, make sure to specify manual or automatic clearly alongside your engine code. Swapping gearbox types would also involve significant additional work beyond the gearbox itself, which is generally not a straightforward like-for-like replacement.

The 207 shares some platform and engine family links with the 206 and 208, so there can be overlap in gearbox units, but this is entirely dependent on matching engine codes rather than model names. Do not assume cross-model compatibility based on the badge alone; give the breaker both vehicles' engine codes and let them confirm whether the specific units are the same. This is especially important because mounting points and ancillary fittings can differ between models even where the internal gearbox is similar.

The 207 received a facelift in 2009, so a pre-facelift car (2006–2009) and a post-facelift car (2009–2012) sit either side of a known production boundary. Whether a gearbox crosses that boundary successfully depends on whether the engine codes are the same — if they match, it's a promising sign, but production changes to ancillary fittings and mountings mid-run mean you should confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration rather than assume the years alone make it a straight swap.
