Hyundai i30 Complete Gearbox/Transmission

Not automatically. The i30 sold in South Africa as FD, GD and PD, and N Line and standard derivatives differ in brakes, suspension and bumper mouldings — the badge on the boot changes the parts list, not just the trim. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.

We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the i30 specifically, N Line and standard derivatives differ in brakes, suspension and bumper mouldings — the badge on the boot changes the parts list, not just the trim.

It depends heavily on model — a used Getz/i20 manual from a strip yard is the cheapest path, an automatic from a Creta is the priciest. We source units nationally through our SA supplier network. Send your VIN for a firm quote.

Grinding on shifts, whining under load, slipping in one gear, hard engagement from DCT dual-clutch automatics and ATF leaks. An i20 DCT shuddering at take-up is a textbook signature — it often means a clutch actuator issue rather than a full gearbox.

For manual Getz, i20 and Accent boxes, a used replacement from an SA strip yard is often cheaper than a full rebuild. For DCT and torque-converter autos, a specialist rebuild or remanufactured unit usually beats a used wildcard. Scan first, quote both options second.

The DCT dual-clutch in i20 and Tucson (harsh shifts, clutch actuator), the torque-converter automatic in Creta and Santa Fe (solenoid issues) and the 6-speed auto in older Sonata/Azera are the well-documented ones. All have known repair paths through SA specialists.

Yes — SA's used-gearbox market is healthy and our supplier network lists Hyundai units across most models. We VIN-match to ensure engine, mileage and gearing are correct before shipping. Send us your VIN for available stock.
