Protect the transmission in your pickup before the next rough trip

Your Navara or X-Class deserves proper protection underneath when it works or travels on rough ground. This Almont guard covers the gearbox and transfer case in 8 mm certified duralumin, with manual and automatic applications across the listed vehicles. The matching front guard is required for its mounting.

SKU: PDN35C8

HeavyDuty protection beneath the transmission

This 13 kg plate adds a substantial barrier beneath the gearbox and transfer case. It fits the 2018-onwards Navara D23 series, the X250 4x4 from 2017-2020 and the X350 4x4 from 2019-2020. Choose this 8 mm HeavyDuty version for a heavily equipped truck or more demanding trips over rough ground.

Why we recommend Almont

This is certified AW5083 H111 duralumin: a high-strength aluminium alloy that keeps material weight below steel of the same size and thickness. You get a substantial barrier beneath the vehicle, and a scratch in the plate does not turn into red rust. It is still worth keeping the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware clean, especially after winter salt or muddy trips.

Almont has specialised in vehicle protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Its protection is designed and manufactured in Spain. You are choosing specialist underbody protection for the parts of your vehicle that have to face the rough ground first.

Fitting

The matching front guard is required because the mounting arrangement is linked. It is sold separately.

Uses the vehicle's original holes and threads with the supplied mounting supports and fixings. Follow the fitting instructions and check clearances on your vehicle.

Designed for the original chassis, axle, suspension-stay, transmission and stabiliser mounting arrangements. Raised suspension is compatible when those original supports are retained. Body lifts, differential-drop kits and altered mounting supports are incompatible.

Matching protection

For lighter use in a 2018-onwards-series Navara D23, we also sell a separate 6 mm SportDuty transmission guard.

Looking after your protection

Pressure wash the protection at least once a year, or two or three times a year if you regularly drive in mud or road salt. Check bolt tightness annually and follow the fitting instructions when refitting a plate after maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Does it fit the X350 as well as the X250?

Yes. It fits the X250 4x4 from 2017-2020 and X350 4x4 from 2019-2020.

Do I need the matching front guard?

Yes. It is required because the two plates have linked mounting.

What is included?

The protection plate, matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, certificate and instruction manual, and Almont sticker. Other guards linked on this page are separate purchases.

Will the plate rust if I scrape it?

The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.

What does the warranty cover?

Almont provides three years of cover against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
