What Are Hyundai Getz 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
What a parts desk needs to know about your Getz
What changes across the range
Getz owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — TB (a single generation, pre- and post-facelift) all sold here.
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.
Worth knowing: the Getzshares the Alpha engine family with the Accent LC and MC.
What we check on planetary gears
- •The generation code, because Getz parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Getz was sold with Alpha 1.3/1.4 and Alpha II 1.6
- •Manual or automatic, the number of gears, and the engine it is bolted to
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
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.
Hyundai Getz Planetary Gears FAQs
Will planetary gears 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.
What should I send you when asking about Getz planetary gears?
The VIN is the single most useful thing — a photo of the plate is fine. Failing that, the generation code and the engine code off the block. The Getz ran as TB (a single generation, pre- and post-facelift), so the generation is what narrows the search.
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.
