A used Ford Ranger gearbox starts from around R12,500, with reconditioned units up to about R28,750 depending on the exact box, condition and warranty. Tell us your year and engine and verified suppliers across South Africa come back to you with prices, warranties and availability.
The Ranger runs these 3 gearboxes — match yours by VIN and engine, then request a free quote.
Code: 6R80 · 6-speed automatic
A conventional torque-converter automatic — robust and very common on the 2.2 and 3.2 Ranger and Everest. This is a real automatic with a torque converter, NOT a PowerShift dual-clutch. Used 6R80 units start around R12,500 in SA. On the bakkies, confirm 4x2 vs 4x4 and engine when you request a quote.
Code: 10R80 · 10-speed automatic
The newer 10-speed torque-converter automatic on the 2.0 single- and bi-turbo Ranger and Everest. A heavier-ticket modern box that is rarely listed at a fixed price — request a quote and verified suppliers will confirm a used or reconditioned unit for your engine and year. The Everest automatic split (6R80 on 2.2/3.2 vs 10R80 on 2.0 BiTurbo) is best confirmed by VIN.
Code: MT82 (Getrag) · 6-speed manual
The Getrag MT82 6-speed manual in the Ranger and Everest. A tough commercial-grade box, but the heavier-duty option in the Ford range — used 4x4 units run roughly R13,000 up to about R28,750 depending on engine, drive and condition. Tell us 4x2 or 4x4 and your engine when you get a quote.

The Ford Ranger runs three very different gearboxes depending on engine and year, and getting the right one is the difference between a clean swap and an expensive mistake. The 2.2 and 3.2 TDCi automatics use the proven 6R80 six-speed torque-converter automatic (used units from around R12,500); the 2.0 single- and bi-turbo moved to the newer 10R80 ten-speed; and the manual across the range is the heavy-duty Getrag MT82 six-speed. None of these is a PowerShift — the Ranger never got the troublesome dual-clutch box. Confirm 4x2 vs 4x4 and your exact engine before you buy.
On the 6R80 the common complaints are harsh or delayed shifts and limp-mode, which often trace to the valve body / mechatronic or solenoids rather than a dead gearbox — worth diagnosing before committing to a full unit. The 10R80 ten-speed is newer and generally robust but a bigger-ticket replacement. The MT82 manual is tough but can develop notchy shifts and bearing wear at high mileage. Ask each supplier whether the torque converter (auto) or clutch kit (manual) is included.

The Ranger 3.2 TDCi automatic is the 6R80 six-speed torque-converter auto — the same box as the 2.2 TDCi auto. Used 6R80 units start at around R12,500 in South Africa, with reconditioned units higher depending on condition and warranty. Confirm 4x2 vs 4x4 and request a quote to compare verified suppliers.
It depends on engine and year: the 2.2 and 3.2 TDCi automatics use the 6R80 six-speed; the 2.0 SiT / BiTurbo uses the 10R80 ten-speed; and manuals across the range use the Getrag MT82 six-speed. The Ranger does not use a PowerShift dual-clutch. Confirm by VIN and engine code when you request a quote.
The 6R80 is one of the more proven Ford automatics — far more robust than the PowerShift fitted to the smaller cars. Most "gearbox" complaints (harsh shifts, limp-mode) trace to the valve body / mechatronic or solenoids, so it is worth diagnosing before buying a full unit. Used units are widely available from around R12,500.
The MT82 manual (roughly R13,000 – R28,750 for 4x4 units) and the 6R80 auto (from about R12,500 used) sit in a similar band, with the auto often cheaper used thanks to more donor supply. The 2.0 BiTurbo 10R80 ten-speed is the priciest. Request a quote for your exact engine and drive.
