Hyundai Creta Planetary Gears
Planetary Gears to suit the Hyundai Creta, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai Creta Planetary Gears?
Planetary gears are the nested sun, planet and ring gearsets inside an automatic gearbox that make each ratio possible. On Hyundai Getz, i20 and Creta automatics we see them complain with whine or crunch when the ATF has never been changed.
Signs You Need New Planetary Gears
Getting the right planetary gears for your Creta first time
On the Creta, GS, then SU2 are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.The GS and SU2 share almost nothing visually or mechanically — check which one you have before ordering anything forward of the bulkhead.
Engine families fitted to the SA-market Creta:
Manual and automatic derivatives of the same Hyundai take entirely different mountings, driveshafts and coolers, and the automatic itself changed within some generations.
Send us manual or automatic, the number of gears, and the engine it is bolted to with your enquiry and we will confirm the correct planetary gears against your car before anything is dispatched.
In South Africa the Creta is mostly a newer nameplate whose first cars are only now reaching the independent aftermarket, so availability skews towards service and collision parts rather than driveline. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Creta Planetary Gears — Questions We Get Asked
Will planetary gears from another Creta fit mine?
Not automatically. The Creta sold in South Africa as GS, then SU2, and the GS and SU2 share almost nothing visually or mechanically — check which one you have before ordering anything forward of the bulkhead. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Which engines did the South African Creta come with?
SA-market cars ran Gamma 1.6 (GS), 1.5 (SU2), 1.4 T-GDi (SU2), U-line 1.6 CRDi (GS). The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
How much does it cost to replace Hyundai planetary gears?
A full gearbox rebuild covering planetary sets, clutch packs and seals runs R18,700-R45,000 at an SA transmission specialist. A used replacement gearbox through Pro Hyundai Spares is often cheaper and carries a warranty. Get a free quote.
What does a failing Hyundai automatic gearbox sound like?
A high-pitched whine that changes note with each gear change, sometimes with a squeak or crunch as the shift completes. A harsh bang as drive engages from neutral points at the same planetary-set damage. Early diagnosis saves a full rebuild.
Can planetary gears be replaced or do you need a whole gearbox?
Specialist transmission workshops can split a gearbox, fit new planetary sets and rebuild clutches. It is skilled work and not cheap. On most Hyundai autos a used complete box through Pro Hyundai Spares works out cheaper with less downtime.
How much does a Hyundai planetary gear set cost in South Africa?
Bare planetary sets are rarely sold alone, because transmission specialists order them as part of a rebuild kit. Expect R3,700-R8,000 for the parts alone. Labour to fit them is the bigger cost. Get a free quote with your gearbox code.
Where can I buy Hyundai planetary gears in SA?
Pro Hyundai Spares can source planetary sets and full used auto gearboxes for Getz, i20, Accent and Creta. Specialist transmission shops are the other route. Send us your gearbox ID for an exact match.
