Complete Gearbox/Transmission for Hyundai Tiburon

What Are Hyundai Tiburon Complete Gearbox/Transmission?

A complete gearbox is the full transmission assembly — casing, gears, synchros, differential and clutch housing. On Hyundais that means the 5- and 6-speed manuals, the DCT dual-clutch automatic in the i20 and i30, and the torque-converter automatics in the Tucson and Santa Fe. All are familiar repair territory in SA.

Signs You Need New Complete Gearbox/Transmission

Grinding or crunching when shifting, especially into 2nd
Whining that rises and falls with road speed
Slipping in a specific gear — revs climb but speed doesn't
Hard or jerky shifts from the DCT or torque-converter automatic
Gear lever won't engage reverse or 5th
Burnt-oil smell or ATF leak under the gearbox

Tiburon Complete Gearbox/Transmission: what actually decides fitment

On the Tiburon, the SA-market coupe in 2.0 and 2.7 V6 form are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.The coupe body panels, glass and lighting are Tiburon-only, even where the engine and gearbox parts interchange with the Elantra of the same period.

  1. 1

    Find the generation code on your Tiburon — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.

  2. 2

    Confirm the engine family. The Tiburon ran Beta II 2.0 and Delta 2.7 V6 in this market.

  3. 3

    Send both to us with the complete gearbox/transmission you are after , along with manual or automatic, the number of gears, and the engine it is bolted to. We match it before we quote, not after.

Sourcing note: the Tiburonshares core running gear with the Elantra XD, which is the practical route to many mechanical parts — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.

In South Africa the Tiburon is mostly an enthusiast car with an active owner community, where the split between shared mechanical parts and unique body parts defines what is easy to find. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.

Tiburon Complete Gearbox/Transmission: Common Questions

Will complete gearbox/transmission from another Tiburon fit mine?

Not automatically. The Tiburon sold in South Africa as the SA-market coupe in 2.0 and 2.7 V6 form, and the coupe body panels, glass and lighting are Tiburon-only, even where the engine and gearbox parts interchange with the Elantra of the same period. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.

Can you source complete gearbox/transmission for the Tiburon if local stock is dry?

Usually, yes. The Tiburon shares core running gear with the Elantra XD, which is the practical route to many mechanical parts, 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 a Hyundai gearbox replacement cost in South Africa?

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.

What are the symptoms of a failing Hyundai gearbox?

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.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a Hyundai 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.

Which Hyundai models have common gearbox problems?

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.

Can I buy a used Hyundai gearbox in South Africa?

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.
