Hyundai Getz Gear Shifter
We source gear shifter for every Getz generation sold in South Africa, then check the fit against your VIN before it leaves the warehouse
What Are Hyundai Getz Gear Shifter?
The gear shifter is the cabin-side lever, boot and linkage that moves your Hyundai gearbox through its ratios. On Getz, i20 and Accent manuals, we see worn linkage bushings and stretched shift cables long before the lever itself gives up and the symptom is a vague, rubbery shift.

Getz Gear Shifter: what actually decides fitment
On the Getz, TB (a single generation, pre- and post-facelift) are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.The facelift changed lighting and front-end trim, so a body or lamp part that fits an early TB may not fit a late one even though the mechanical parts interchange freely.
- 1
Find the generation code on your Getz — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The Getz ran Alpha 1.3/1.4 and Alpha II 1.6 in this market.
- 3
Send both to us with the gear shifter you are after , along with the trim level, the interior colour, and whether the car has leather or cloth. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the Getzshares the Alpha engine family with the Accent LC and MC — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the Getz is mostly long out of production but still everywhere on South African roads, which makes the Getz a used-parts car first and a new-parts car second. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Getz Gear Shifter: Common Questions
Will gear shifter from another Getz fit mine?
Not automatically. The Getz sold in South Africa as TB (a single generation, pre- and post-facelift), and the facelift changed lighting and front-end trim, so a body or lamp part that fits an early TB may not fit a late one even though the mechanical parts interchange freely. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Can you source gear shifter for the Getz if local stock is dry?
Usually, yes. The Getz shares the Alpha engine family with the Accent LC and MC, which gives us a second catalogue to search when Hyundai-listed stock runs out. We will tell you what we are quoting rather than leaving you to guess.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai gear shifter?
A used shifter assembly from our supplier network starts around R500 for older Getz units. Full Hyundai cable and linkage rebuilds run R1,500-R4,650 fitted, depending on whether cables or the shifter tower itself have gone.
What are the symptoms of a failing gear shifter on a Hyundai?
The shift gets sloppy, notchy or refuses gears. You often find reverse hardest to engage first. On the automatics fitted to the Creta and Sonata, hesitation or a jolt between gears usually points at the selector mechanism or the valve body rather than the lever you are holding.
Why is my Hyundai gear stick loose or floppy?
Nine times in ten it is the plastic linkage bushings under the car, not the lever itself. They perish after 100,000km and let the shifter flop in its socket. A bush kit and one hour of bench time usually sorts it.
How do you fix a broken gear shifter on a Hyundai Getz?
Pop the boot, lift the console and inspect the ball cup under the lever. If plastic is cracked, replace the shifter assembly and both linkage bushings at once. Ignore this and the new bushings wear out fast.
