Welcome to GearShift Parts.

These Terms & Conditions explain the basic rules for using our website and purchasing engines, transmissions, and other auto parts from us.

By using our website or placing an order, you agree to these Terms, along with our Warranty Policy, Return & Replacement Policy, and Shipping Policy.

We have kept these terms simple so you can easily understand how our service works.

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate information about our products, including:

  • Product descriptions
  • Photos
  • Prices
  • Mileage
  • Part numbers
  • Availability
  • Vehicle compatibility

Because many of our products are used automotive parts, the actual part may have normal signs of previous use.

Photos may be representative and may not always show the exact part that will be shipped.

If you have a specific requirement, please contact us before placing your order.

4. Used Auto Parts

Used engines, transmissions, and other automotive parts are previously used components.

They may have normal:

  • Cosmetic wear
  • Scratches
  • Surface marks
  • Discoloration
  • Minor signs of previous use

These characteristics do not necessarily mean that the part is defective.

Our products are sold based on the condition and information provided with the applicable product listing or order.

5. Vehicle Fitment

We want to help you order the right part.

Before purchasing, we recommend providing:

  • Year
  • Make
  • Model
  • Engine
  • VIN

Our team can assist with fitment verification based on the information you provide.

Please provide accurate vehicle information.

If incorrect or incomplete information is provided, the part may not be compatible with your vehicle.

For the best results, verify fitment before installation.

6. Prices

Product prices can change from time to time.

The price applicable to your order will generally be the price shown on your order confirmation or invoice.

Additional charges may apply for:

  • Sales tax

  • Residential delivery
  • Liftgate service
  • Expedited shipping
  • Special handling
  • Other services specifically requested by the customer

Any applicable charges will be communicated during the ordering process whenever reasonably possible.

7. Product Availability

All products are subject to availability.

Because used-part inventory changes frequently, a product shown on our website may become unavailable before an order is completed.

If an item becomes unavailable, we may:

  • Offer a similar part;
  • Offer another suitable option;
  • Provide an updated availability date; or
  • Cancel the order and issue an applicable refund.

8. Placing an Order

You can place an order through our website, by phone, or through another authorized GearShift sales channel.

Submitting an order does not guarantee that the order has been accepted.

An order is considered accepted when we confirm the order or provide an invoice/order confirmation.

We may contact you to verify:

  • Payment information
  • Vehicle information
  • Product availability
  • Shipping information
  • Other order details

9. Payment

We accept the payment methods displayed or offered during the ordering process.

These may include major credit cards, PayPal, financing options, and other approved payment methods.

Payment must be successfully authorized before an order can be processed.

We may request additional information when needed to verify an order or prevent fraudulent transactions.

10. Order Cancellation

If you need to cancel an order, please contact us as soon as possible.

We will try to cancel the order before it is processed or shipped.

Once an order has shipped, cancellation may no longer be possible and the order may instead be handled under our Return & Replacement Policy.

11. Shipping

We ship products throughout the USA using appropriate parcel and freight carriers.

Most orders are processed within 1–2 business days and typically arrive within approximately 3–5 business days after shipment.

Delivery times are estimates and can vary due to carrier delays, weather, holidays, location, or other circumstances.

For complete information, please see our Shipping Policy.

12. Returns & Replacements

Eligible products may be returned within 30 days of delivery, subject to our Return & Replacement Policy.

Some important conditions apply:

  • The part generally must be unused and uninstalled.
  • You must contact us before returning the product.
  • Some returns may be subject to a 35% restocking fee.
  • Return shipping may be the customer’s responsibility for customer-requested returns.
  • Incorrect or damaged parts are handled according to our applicable policies.

Please review our Return & Replacement Policy before returning a product.

13. Warranty

Eligible engines and transmissions purchased from GearShift Parts are covered by our 3-Year Warranty, subject to the terms and conditions of our Warranty Policy.

The warranty may cover qualifying failures of eligible components.

Warranty coverage does not automatically cover installation labor, removal labor, diagnostic charges, towing, rental vehicles, or other related expenses unless specifically stated in writing.

Important:

If you believe an installed part has a problem, contact us before removing, repairing, rebuilding, or disassembling the part.

For complete information, please see our Warranty Policy.

14. Installation

We recommend having engines, transmissions, and other major components installed by a qualified automotive repair facility.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that the part is properly installed and that required installation procedures are followed.

Depending on the part, proper installation may require:

  • New fluids
  • New filters
  • Cooling-system service
  • Flushing
  • New seals or gaskets

We may request additional information to help us investigate the issue.

Shipping damage is handled under our Shipping Policy and Return & Replacement Policy.

17. Mileage Information

Mileage information for used engines, transmissions, and other components is based on information available to us from suppliers, dismantlers, inventory records, or other sources.

Because these are used components, exact historical mileage may not always be independently verified.

Unless specifically documented otherwise, mileage information should be considered an estimate.

GearShift does not support or participate in odometer tampering or mileage misrepresentation.

18. Product Modifications

Please do not modify, rebuild, disassemble, or alter a product if you believe it has a problem.

Contact us first.

Unauthorized modification or disassembly may affect return or warranty eligibility.

When a refund is approved, it will generally be issued to the original payment method.

The time required for the refund to appear in your account depends on your bank or payment provider.

Applicable return shipping costs, restocking fees, or other approved deductions may be taken from the refund.
