Hyundai Veloster Complete Gearbox/Transmission
Complete Gearbox/Transmission to suit the Hyundai Veloster, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai Veloster 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
Veloster generations and complete gearbox/transmission — the short version
On the Veloster, FS, then JS are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.The asymmetric three-door layout means the left and right sides are genuinely not mirror images — door, glass and trim parts must be ordered by side.
Engine families fitted to the SA-market Veloster:
Manual and automatic derivatives of the same Hyundai take entirely different mountings, driveshafts and coolers, and the automatic itself changed within some generations.
Send us manual or automatic, the number of gears, and the engine it is bolted to with your enquiry and we will confirm the correct complete gearbox/transmission against your car before anything is dispatched.
In South Africa the Veloster is mostly a low-volume enthusiast car locally, so mechanical parts come easily through the shared Gamma engine family while body and trim need specialist sourcing. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Veloster Complete Gearbox/Transmission — Questions We Get Asked
Will complete gearbox/transmission from another Veloster fit mine?
Not automatically. The Veloster sold in South Africa as FS, then JS, and the asymmetric three-door layout means the left and right sides are genuinely not mirror images — door, glass and trim parts must be ordered by side. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Which engines did the South African Veloster come with?
SA-market cars ran Gamma 1.6 GDi, Gamma 1.6 T-GDi. The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
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.
