Engines
Start with your vehicle's make, model, year and engine code — ideally the VIN as well. Provide these details with your enquiry and we will check which units are technically compatible and currently sourceable, then send you a written quote.
Make and model, model year, engine code, fuel type, engine capacity and the VIN or chassis number if available. The original part number helps where known. More detail means a faster, more accurate match.
It depends on the unit sourced — both configurations exist. Your quote states exactly what the offered assembly includes, so there is no ambiguity before you order.
Yes. An engine code is one of the most reliable identifiers for matching a replacement. Include it in your enquiry along with the vehicle details for the best result.
Gearboxes & Transmissions
The transmission code — usually found on the unit or the vehicle's compliance documentation — is the key identifier. Combined with make, model, year and drive configuration, it lets us match a compatible gearbox.
Yes, we source both automatic and manual transmissions. Availability varies with demand, so each enquiry is confirmed at the time rather than assumed.
The same model can leave the factory with several different transmissions across years and variants. The code identifies ratios, electronics and physical fitment — details the model name alone cannot convey.
It varies by unit. Torque converters, mechatronics, mounts and sensors may or may not be included in a sourced assembly — your written quote confirms exactly what is supplied.
Pricing & Payment
Indicative pricing for a used engine starts from around A$1,200, but this is a guide only. The final figure depends on the engine code, condition, included components and availability — always confirm the written quote before ordering.
Transmission type and code, condition, included accessories, availability and delivery destination all influence the final price. Indicative starting points are published on our services page.
Delivery is priced separately unless your written quote states otherwise. Every quote itemises the assembly, any sourcing fee and the delivery cost so you can see the full picture.
A sourcing fee may apply for special-order or rare assemblies. Where it applies, it appears as a separate line in your quote — you approve it before any work proceeds.
Compatibility & Condition
A VIN is a strong starting point and resolves most identification questions, but pairing it with the engine or transmission code gives the most reliable match — especially for vehicles with running changes or engine swaps.
Ask us to document it. We confirm in writing what the offered unit includes — ancillaries, sensors and fittings — before payment, so you can compare it against what your vehicle needs.
Where known, we share details such as documented history, kilometres and visible condition. Whatever is confirmed appears in the written quote — we describe condition as it is known, not assumed.
Yes, always. Visually similar assemblies can differ in mounts, electronics and calibration. Have the match confirmed in writing before you pay — it is the cheapest insurance against a wrong order.
Delivery & Orders
Delivery within Australia can be arranged to your postcode and priced in your quote. Options and timing depend on the destination and the assembly — ask when you enquire.
Delivery cost depends on the destination postcode, the size and weight of the assembly, and the transport option agreed. It is itemised separately in your quote.
Yes — requesting a quote carries no obligation. Review the itemised offer, ask questions, and confirm only when you are ready to proceed.
