Nissan Gearboxes For Sale

A used Nissan manual starts around R1,450, and the NP200 manual runs roughly R1,450 – R9,500. The JATCO Xtronic CVT on the Qashqai, X-Trail, Juke, Micra and Sentra ranges from about R1,800 for a cheap used unit up to around R34,500 reconditioned. The Navara / Patrol torque-converter auto (RE5R05A) runs from about R3,750 used to roughly R45,000 reconditioned. Prices depend heavily on used vs reconditioned, kilometres and condition. Submit one quote request and compare verified suppliers for your exact model.

On a Qashqai, X-Trail or Juke 2.0 the "automatic" is a JATCO Xtronic CVT — a continuously variable belt-and-pulley box — not a conventional torque-converter automatic. Only the Navara, Patrol and Pathfinder use a true torque-converter auto (the RE5R05A 5-speed or older RE4R03A). They share no parts and are not interchangeable, so when you request a quote tell us the exact model, year and engine and suppliers will match the correct unit.

The JATCO Xtronic CVT is the most failure-prone Nissan box. The belt-and-pulley design is sensitive to heat and overheats under load or towing, and the classic symptoms are shudder, jerking, whining and sudden power loss — often between 80,000 and 140,000 km, and especially on the X-Trail T32 (2014–2016). That is exactly why there is strong replacement demand, and why matching the correct CVT unit to your model and year matters.

The NP200 is a South-African-built half-tonne bakkie based on the Renault Logan, so it uses a Renault JH3 / JR5 5-speed manual rather than a Nissan-family gearbox — and it is manual only, with no factory automatic. Because the parts overlap with the Renault Sandero and Logan, tell suppliers specifically that it is an NP200 so they source the correct Renault-derived unit.

Three things decide it: your model and year, whether it is manual, CVT or a torque-converter automatic, and the engine. For example a Qashqai automatic uses a JATCO Xtronic CVT while a Navara automatic uses an RE5R05A torque-converter box — totally different units. Give your VIN and engine code when you request a quote and suppliers will confirm the exact gearbox before you commit.

It varies by supplier. Used units typically carry a 30–90 day warranty; reconditioned and new aftermarket boxes usually 6–12 months. On the Xtronic CVT it is worth asking whether the valve body and any software/adaptation reset are covered. Always get the warranty terms in writing and confirm whether fitment at a qualified workshop is required.
