Hyundai Gearboxes For Sale

A used Hyundai manual starts around R1,200, and the small 4-speed automatics (i10, i20, Getz, Accent) from roughly R1,950. The conventional 6-speed autos (Elantra, Tucson, Santa Fe) run about R6,000 – R25,000 used to reconditioned, and the H1 2.5 auto roughly R9,500 – R15,000. The 7-speed D7UF1 DCT and the Smartstream IVT/CVT are rarely priced cleanly on the open market — expect an indicative range and a request-a-quote figure rather than a fixed price. Submit one quote request and compare verified suppliers for your exact model.

They are three completely different gearboxes that share no parts. The D7UF1 is a 7-speed dual-clutch (DCT) behind the 1.6 T-GDI turbo cars (Kona, Tucson, Veloster). The IVT is a CVT — a belt-and-pulley box marketed under Hyundai's Smartstream family, fitted to the newer naturally-aspirated petrols (i20, Venue, Creta, Kona NA). The A4CF, A6MF and A6LF families are conventional torque-converter automatics. Because the Creta can ship with any of these, always tell us your engine and exact variant so suppliers match the correct unit.

The D7UF1 7-speed DCT is widely reported for shudder and limp-mode, with technical service bulletins and recall activity behind it — the dry dual-clutch and its control electronics are the usual culprits. The Smartstream IVT/CVT has drawn power-loss complaints (the subject of a US class-action). Both faults create strong replacement demand in South Africa, which is exactly why it matters to match the right box and confirm what a quote actually covers.

It depends on the engine and the year, which is why it is worth confirming rather than assuming. The newer naturally-aspirated petrol models increasingly use the IVT (a Smartstream CVT), while older or smaller variants ran a 4-speed torque-converter automatic (A4CF). The Creta is the trickiest — depending on engine it can be a manual, a 4-speed auto, an IVT/CVT or even the DCT on the turbo. Give your VIN, engine and variant when you request a quote and suppliers will confirm the exact box before you buy.

Three things decide it: your model and year, the engine (turbo T-GDI versus naturally-aspirated versus CRDi diesel), and whether it is manual or automatic. For example a 1.6 T-GDI Tucson uses the D7UF1 DCT while a 2.0 petrol Tucson uses the A6MF1 torque-converter auto — totally different boxes. Give your VIN and engine code when you request a quote and verified suppliers will confirm the exact unit before you commit.

It varies by supplier. Used units typically carry a 30–90 day warranty; reconditioned and new aftermarket boxes usually 6–12 months. On the D7UF1 DCT and the IVT/CVT, check exactly what is covered and whether the control electronics or valve body are included. Always get the warranty terms in writing and confirm whether fitment at a qualified workshop is required.
