Hyundai i10 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.

The shift gets sloppy, notchy or refuses gears. You often find reverse hardest to engage first. On Aisin AWF6 automatics fitted to Creta and Sonata, hesitation or jolts between gears points at the shifter or valve body, not the lever alone.

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.

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.
