Reconditioned Dacia Gearbox on an exchange basis

Dacia Gearboxes: 5-Speed or 6-Speed, Petrol or Diesel — Not the Same Part

Across the Sandero, Duster, Lodgy, Dokker and Logan, the Dacia range has never offered a torque-converter automatic or a dual-clutch gearbox: every reconditioned gearbox in this collection is manual, with 5 or 6 speeds. The choice between the two depends directly on the engine and the year of production, making precise identification essential before placing any order.

5-Speed for Diesel, 6-Speed for Turbo Petrol: What You Need to Know

The K9K (1.5 dCi) engine, fitted across all models in this collection from 2004 to 2026, always pairs with a 5-speed gearbox. There are many variants — K9K 612, K9K 626, K9K 666, K9K 792, K9K 846, K9K 856, K9K 858, K9K 872, K9K 874, K9K 894, K9K 898 — and they do not all share the same gearbox: the engine code stamped on the block remains the only reliable reference. On the naturally aspirated petrol side, the older K7J, K7M, K4M and D4F engines (1.4, 1.6 and 1.2) are found mainly in the early generations of the Logan and Sandero; again, 5-speed. The more recent turbocharged petrol engines — H5F (1.2 TCe), H4B and H4Bt (0.9 TCe) and H4D (1.0 / 1.0 SCe 100 / 1.0 TCe) — may be paired with a 6-speed gearbox depending on the model and year. The engine code H4D is shared across 3 different commercial designations (1.0, 1.0 SCe 100, 1.0 TCe): checking the designation alone is not sufficient.

The Sandero and Duster Account for the Majority of References; the Logan and Dokker Are More Limited

The Sandero covers the widest range of engines and generations, from the first-series K4M through to the H4D and H5F units found in more recent versions. The Duster shares several gearboxes with the Sandero on the 1.5 dCi and 1.6, but its 4-wheel drive vocation means that certain versions require a specific transmission: a gearbox that is identical in designation is not interchangeable between a 2-wheel drive version and a 4-wheel drive version. The Lodgy and the Dokker, derived from the Logan platform, are limited mainly to the K9K and the K4M or H4M. For the Logan, this collection covers only 2 references, reflecting a narrower engine range across the versions still in circulation. Rebuilding your own unit is also available as an alternative to the standard exchange, depending on the reference.
