Used Vauxhall Adam Gear Stick

The Vauxhall Adam was available with both a manual gearbox and an automatic gearbox depending on the variant, so a gear stick does exist on manual versions of the car. If your Adam has a manual gearbox you will have a gear stick; if it has the automatic transmission you will not, and the part you may be looking for instead is a gear selector or shifter assembly. Check your V5 or a VIN check to confirm your gearbox type before searching.

The Vauxhall Adam ran as a single generation from 2013 to 2019 with no full model change, though a facelift was introduced in 2017, meaning a 2013 and 2016 car sit within the same pre-facelift era. Whether a gear stick from one year directly interchanges with another depends primarily on the engine code and gearbox type, so confirm the engine codes of both vehicles match before assuming compatibility. Route any question about whether mounting or ancillary details changed across that 2017 facelift to the breaker, quoting your registration.

Trim level does not affect the mechanical fitment of a gear stick; what matters is the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, not whether the donor car was a Jam, Rocks, Slam, or Glam. You may find cosmetic differences between gear sticks from different trims, such as different gaiter materials or gear knob finishes, but the underlying mechanical assembly is what determines whether it will fit. Confirm the engine code and gearbox type match, and let the breaker know if you want the cosmetic appearance to match your original.

The engine code is the single most useful detail for this part because the gear stick and associated gear linkage are paired to the specific gearbox fitted to that engine variant, and different engines in the Adam used different gearboxes. Year alone is not a reliable guide because the same model year could leave the factory with different engine and gearbox combinations. Find your engine code on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check and give it to the breaker when requesting a quote.

The Vauxhall Adam was not offered with a diesel engine in the UK, so this comparison does not apply to this model. All Adam variants were petrol-engined, meaning fuel type is not a variable you need to worry about when sourcing a gear stick for this car. Focus instead on matching the engine code and confirming whether your car has a manual gearbox, as that is what determines fitment.

The Vauxhall Adam received a facelift in 2017, and while the car remained the same generation throughout its 2013 to 2019 production run, there is a possibility that interior or linkage details changed at that point. The safest approach is to match the engine code and gearbox type first, then confirm with the breaker whether the specific part from a pre-facelift donor is compatible with your post-facelift car, quoting your registration. Never assume fitment across a facelift boundary without checking with the breaker.
