Peugeot 3008 Gearbox Replacement Parts

The 3008 runs across two main generations: the first generation covers 2009 to 2016, and the second generation covers 2017 onwards with a facelift around 2020. Gearboxes within the same generation are the most likely candidates for a straight swap, but the engine code on your V5 is the key detail — two cars from the same year can need completely different gearboxes if they have different engines. Always give the breaker your engine code alongside your registration to confirm compatibility.

This crosses the first-generation-to-second-generation boundary (2009–2016 into 2017-onwards), and those two generations use significantly different platforms and drivetrains, so a direct swap is very unlikely. Engine codes changed substantially between generations, and even where fuel type appears similar the internals and mounting arrangements differ. Confirm against your exact engine code with the breaker — do not assume fitment across that 2016–2017 boundary.

Trim level — whether that's Active, Allure, GT Line, or GT — does not affect which gearbox you need; what matters is the engine code, fuel type, and whether the car is manual or automatic. A GT may be more commonly paired with the automatic EAT6 or EAT8 gearbox while lower trims were more often sold with manuals, so double-check your gearbox type before ordering. If both cars share the same engine code and gearbox type, trim is irrelevant to fitment.

Yes, fuel type matters significantly — diesel and petrol engines use different gearboxes that are not interchangeable, even where the external appearance looks similar. Within diesel or petrol you also need to match the specific engine code, since the 3008 was offered with multiple diesel and petrol variants across its life and ratios and bell-housing patterns differ between them. Give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) rather than relying on fuel type alone.

With modern Peugeots there can be electronic pairing between the gearbox control unit and the vehicle, particularly on automatic transmissions, which may require coding after fitting. Whether this applies to your specific car and which unit is involved is something you need to confirm with the breaker and your fitting garage, as it varies by engine code and model year. Never assume a used gearbox will be fully plug-and-play without checking this with a specialist.

The second-generation 3008 ran from 2017 with a facelift arriving around 2020, and within that generation the engine code remains the most reliable guide to whether a gearbox will interchange across the facelift year. Ancillary and mounting changes can occur mid-production even within a generation, so while an engine-code match is a strong starting point, you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration that nothing changed on your build date.
