Hyundai i10 Planetary Gears
Planetary Gears for the Hyundai i10 — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which i10 you are running
What Are Hyundai i10 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.

i10 Planetary Gears: what actually decides fitment
What changes across the range
i10 owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3 all sold here.
The original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from.
Worth knowing: the i10shares the Kappa petrol family with the Kia Picanto.
What we check on planetary gears
- •The generation code, because i10 parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this i10 was sold with Epsilon 1.1 (PA), Kappa 1.25 (Grand i10) and Kappa 1.2 (AI3)
- •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 i10 is mostly first cars, driving-school fleets and short-hop city work, so components see far more cold starts per thousand kilometres than the odometer suggests. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai i10 Planetary Gears FAQs
Will planetary gears from another i10 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i10 sold in South Africa as PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3, and the original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from. 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 i10 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 i10 ran as PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3, 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.
