Choosing the right used Peugeot 308 gearbox
Used gearboxs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
- State whether it's manual or automatic
- State the gearbox code if known
- State if it's 2WD or 4WD

Fitment questions
What years does a Peugeot 308 gearbox fit across the two generations?
The 308 ran as Mk1 from 2007 to 2013 and Mk2 from 2013 onwards, with a Mk2 facelift in 2017, and these two generations are built on different platforms with different engines, so a Mk1 gearbox will not cross to a Mk2 or vice versa. Within each generation, fitment is led by the engine code rather than the year alone, so always supply your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) when asking a breaker for a quote. Never assume a gearbox fits purely because the years look close together.
Will a gearbox from a 2015 Peugeot 308 fit my 2018 facelift model?
Both a 2015 and a 2018 308 sit within the Mk2 generation (2013 onwards), with the facelift arriving in 2017, so you are not crossing a platform boundary. Fitment still depends primarily on matching engine codes, fuel type, and whether both cars use a manual or automatic gearbox, so share your exact engine code with the breaker. Confirm with the breaker against your registration whether any ancillary or mounting changes were introduced at or around the 2017 facelift before going ahead.
Does a gearbox from a 308 Access or Active fit a GT Line or GT?
Trim level — whether Access, Active, Allure, GT Line, or GT — does not affect gearbox fitment on the 308; the gearbox follows the engine code, fuel type, and transmission type, not the badge on the tailgate. What can differ between trims is ancillary equipment and interior specification, but none of that changes whether the gearbox itself will physically match. Give the breaker both registration numbers and your engine code and let them confirm compatibility.
What engine code do I need to match when buying a used 308 gearbox?
The engine code is the single most important detail for gearbox fitment on the 308 — two cars badged identically can use different internals if they carry different engine codes. You can find the engine code on your V5 logbook or by running a VIN check, and you should quote it directly to the breaker rather than relying on engine size or fuel type alone. Fuel type (petrol or diesel) and gearbox type (manual or automatic) should also be confirmed, but the engine code overrides everything else.
Can I use a manual gearbox from a 308 to replace my automatic?
No — manual and automatic gearboxes are entirely different units and are not interchangeable; fitting a manual box where an automatic sat requires significant additional work and may raise ECU and immobiliser pairing issues that go well beyond a straight swap. Always source a gearbox that matches your original transmission type, and confirm with the breaker against your registration whether any coding or programming work will be needed on your specific vehicle. A like-for-like replacement is always the straightforward starting point.
Does it matter if the donor 308 is an estate rather than a hatchback when buying a gearbox?
Body style does not affect gearbox fitment — the gearbox is a mechanical component that follows the engine code, not the shape of the car. A gearbox from a 308 estate and one from a 308 hatchback will be the same unit provided the engine codes, fuel types, and transmission types match. Focus your search on those mechanical details and let the breaker verify compatibility against your registration.
