Car Transplants Explained: Engines, Gearboxes & More

The term “car transplant” is becoming more popular in the UK. But what does it really mean? Let’s break it down.

What Is a Car Transplant?
A car transplant usually means replacing a major component — often the engine, gearbox, or drivetrain — to extend a vehicle’s life.

Why Choose a Transplant Over Buying New?
- Cost savings (often 60–70% cheaper than new parts).
- Environmentally friendly (recycled OEM parts).
- Faster turnaround for repairs.

Where to Get Car Transplant Parts
Many UK salvage companies supply engines and gearboxes, but Partsworth focuses on making parts easy to find, verified, and barcoded.

How to Ensure Quality
Always buy from a trusted dismantler who checks and records part condition. Look for warranties where available.

Conclusion

Car transplants can bring a second life to vehicles — but only if you choose reliable parts. Partsworth makes it simple to source engines, gearboxes, and more.
