Complete Auto Transmissions for Nissan Xterra

Shopping for the Right Nissan Xterra Automatic Transmissions Online: Buying Guide

For the Nissan Xterra and other SUVs, having a working transmission is a vital part of making sure that it's running properly. You will find a large selection of affordable Nissan Xterra transmissions on eBay, such as the 2005 Nissan Xterra transmission five-speed automatic or the 2007 Nissan Xterrra transmission. This guide will help you narrow down the options to make sure that you find the right transmission for your SUV.

Take a look at these categories and steps to find compatible new and used Xterra transmissions:

• Brand and brand type: There are OEM brand components offered by Nissan, while aftermarket brands can come from a range of companies such as A123 Systems and Aftermarket Products.
• Drive system: There were two main types of drive systems offered on the Xterra, including a four-wheel and rear-wheel drive that have different designs for the transmission. You will want to select one that is compatible with your SUV.
• Model year: Between the 2004 and 2005 model years, the Nissan Xterra went through a redesign for the second generation. Some listings will indicate which model years the transmission is compatible with. For example, a 2005 Nissan Xterra transmission may be compatible on a 06 Nissan Xterra transmission model.
• Fitment type: You can choose between performance and stock transmissions depending on the engine and trim of your Xterra. Some of the more powerful engines have different transmissions to offer a wider range of shifting points for added flexibility.
• Condition: In addition to new transmissions for newer models of the Xterra, there will also be used options in the form of salvaged and refurbished transmissions as well. This will be more common on older models of the Xterra.

The availability of new transmissions can make purchasing a used transmission more appealing. The Xterra was discontinued in 2015, so the inventory of new transmissions is decreasing on the OEM side. The condition of used transmission can vary between listings so you should pay close attention to the photos and description. Sometimes the seller will test the transmission and indicate if there are any issues.

New transmissions available for the 2006 model year will be more expensive than a used one. One alternative to finding a cheaper price is to take a look at other model years that are compatible and choosing from one of the cheaper years. Refurbished transmissions can offer a better option than salvaged transmissions but are generally more expensive.
