Reconditioned Gearboxes

Which reconditioned gearbox fits my vehicle from a range of over 15 engine variants and 30 listed models?

The answer comes down to two points: the right reference is always the engine code stamped on the block, never the engine capacity alone or the quoted power output. A single engine family — 1.6, 1.9 TDI or 1.5 dCi — can span dozens of distinct codes, each potentially requiring a different gearbox depending on the make, year or vehicle generation. This catalogue covers vehicles produced between 1983 and 2024, from vans such as the Master, Transit and Trafic to city cars such as the Polo, Ibiza and 500, as well as compact saloons and MPVs.

Manual, automated manual, dual-clutch: transmission families that cannot be swapped for one another

This catalogue brings together several transmission families: 4-, 5- or 6-speed manual gearboxes, automated manual gearboxes with an actuator (SensoDrive, Dualogic, Easytronic, BMP6, BMP5, Tecshift, ETG6, MTA, Quickshift, 2-Tronic, DFN) and dual-clutch gearboxes. These families are not mechanically interchangeable, and the same vehicle model may have been fitted with very different types depending on the year of production and the engine. The automated manual gearboxes in this catalogue are supplied without their robot or actuator, as this electronic component is handled separately. Dual-clutch gearboxes are supplied with a new dual clutch, without a mechatronic unit.

The pitfall of identifying by engine capacity

On the Renault-Nissan 1.5 dCi, the K9K family alone covers more than forty engine code variants — K9K 700, K9K 792, K9K 872, K9K 874 among others — whose internal specifications and associated gearboxes differ. The Volkswagen-Audi 1.9 TDI spans codes ranging from AFN, AGR, AHU through to BXE or BLS, across generations of Golf, Polo, Fabia and Leon that did not always receive the same transmission. The 2.0 TDI follows the same logic, with codes such as BKD, BMP, CAHA or CFHC depending on the year and chassis. On petrol engines, the PSA 1.6 comes in EP6, TU5JP4 or K4M variants depending on the platform, each paired with its own specific gearbox. Before navigating to a make or model page, locate your engine code: it is the engine code that determines the exact reference to select from the reconditioned exchange gearboxes available here.
