Buy Transmission for Your Hyundai Azera

Yes, and it is the first thing we check. The Azera sold here as TG, and the Grandeur name on imported documentation refers to the same car, which is worth knowing when a listing does not say "Azera". Give us the generation code and the rest follows quickly.

Lambda 3.3 V6 and Lambda 3.8 V6. Transmission fitment often follows the engine family rather than the model name, so the code on the block is worth reading before you order.

To reset your Hyundai automatic gearbox, start the car with your foot firmly on the brake pedal. Shift the gear lever into first gear, hold for 5 seconds, then shift back into neutral and finally into park. This process allows the gearbox ECU to recalibrate and can resolve minor shifting issues, though persistent problems may require professional diagnostics at a Hyundai service centre.

Yes, obtaining Hyundai transmission parts in South Africa has become increasingly convenient. With the official Hyundai dealership network and service centres across major cities, you don't have to go far to get genuine transmission components. Our SA supplier network also stocks a wide range of aftermarket parts, with prices for common components ranging from R800 for clutch kits to R15,000 for complete gearbox overhaul kits.

Common Hyundai transmission issues include clutch wear on manual gearboxes (particularly on i20 and Tucson models driven in heavy traffic), automatic gearbox solenoid failures on older Creta and Santa Fe models and CV joint wear causing clicking noises during turns. U-line CRDi diesel and Gamma petrol models may experience dual-mass flywheel vibrations after 120,000km. Regular transmission fluid changes every 60,000km and quality replacement parts costing R1,200 to R8,500 can prevent most major failures.

A complete clutch replacement for a Hyundai in South Africa typically costs between R6,500 and R12,000, including parts and labour. This price covers the clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing and flywheel resurfacing for models like the i20, Tucson and Accent with Gamma or T-GDi engines. Dual-mass flywheel replacements on CRDi diesel models can increase costs to R15,000 or more, making regular clutch inspections worthwhile to catch issues early.

Hyundai recommends transmission fluid changes every 60,000km for manual gearboxes and every 80,000km for automatic transmissions, though South African driving conditions may warrant more frequent servicing. Stop-start traffic, dusty roads and high temperatures accelerate fluid degradation, particularly in Gauteng and coastal humidity. A transmission fluid and filter service costs R1,800 to R3,500 depending on your model and can significantly extend gearbox life on Creta, Santa Fe and Staria models.
