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:
The Vauxhall Antara was sold in the UK from 2006 and received a facelift in 2010, so a 2007 and a 2010 car sit either side of that refresh boundary. Whether the gearbox crosses that boundary depends on whether both cars share the same engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type — the facelift can bring ancillary and mounting changes that affect swap compatibility. Give the breaker both registration numbers so they can check the engine codes and confirm the gearbox will physically match before you buy.
For a gearbox, the engine code matters far more than the year — two Antaras from the same year can have different engines with gearboxes that won't interchange. You'll find the engine code on your V5C or by running a VIN check, and it's the single most useful detail you can give a breaker when asking for a quote. Always supply that code alongside the year and fuel type rather than relying on the year alone.
No — diesel and petrol Antaras use entirely different gearboxes, so fuel type is a hard fitment barrier and you cannot substitute one for the other. Make sure you tell the breaker your exact fuel type as well as your engine code to ensure they quote you the correct unit.
Yes, automatic and manual gearboxes are completely different units and are not interchangeable, so the gearbox type is one of the first things you need to confirm when contacting a breaker. Quote your engine code, fuel type, and whether you have a manual or automatic and the breaker can narrow down the correct unit quickly.
Trim level — whether Club, SE, or any other grade — does not affect gearbox fitment on the Antara; what matters is that both vehicles share the same engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type. The trims differ in equipment and interior finish rather than in drivetrain specification, so don't let a difference in badge put you off a quote, but do confirm the engine codes match before proceeding.
Whether a used gearbox requires any ECU pairing or immobiliser coding to your specific vehicle is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration, as this can vary and isn't something to assume either way. A good breaker will be familiar with what's involved and can advise you before you commit to the part.
