Condition & warranty
The same Renault gearbox comes three ways in South Africa. Here's how they compare on price, warranty and what you get — so you can tell suppliers which to quote.
A tested second-hand unit pulled from a low-mileage donor car.
Stripped, rebuilt with new wear parts and bench-tested before fitment.
A brand-new gearbox — aftermarket or genuine OEM-grade.
Not sure which to pick? Send your VIN and ask suppliers to quote all three — you compare price and warranty side by side.
Renault fits several "automatics" that share no parts. Find your transmission family below, then send your VIN so suppliers quote the exact unit.
The higher-ticket TCe autos — the boxes owners replace most
Renault's Getrag dual-clutch — the 6-speed 6DCT250 "DC4" on the older TCe cars, the 7-speed 7DCT300 on the current 1.3 TCe. The 6- and 7-speed are not interchangeable.
A JATCO belt-and-pulley CVT shared with the Renault-Nissan alliance — not a dual-clutch and not the Easy-R AMT. Belt/pulley wear and overheating are the classic faults.
Manuals, the Easy-R AMT and the legacy torque-converter
JH3/JR5 5-speed on the Sandero, Logan and Clio; TL4/TL8 6-speed on the 1.5 dCi diesels and Duster. The cheapest and simplest boxes to source and repair.
Easy-R is an automated manual (AMT) on the Kwid, Triber and Kiger — the JS3 base transaxle with a computer-controlled clutch. Early Megane/Scenic ran the older DP0/AL4 torque-converter auto.
The EDC is a dual-clutch, the X-Tronic is a CVT, and the Easy-R is an automated manual (AMT) — they share no parts and won't interchange. Confirm which one your car has by VIN before you buy.
Still not sure? and suppliers will confirm the exact gearbox for you.
On the EDC especially, many of these point to a worn clutch pack or a tired mechatronic rather than a dead gearbox — so get it diagnosed before you replace the whole unit.
A Renault gearbox lives or dies on clean fluid and the right driving habits. A few things go a long way on SA roads:
Renault is one of the trickier makes to match, because "automatic" can mean four completely different gearboxes. A 1.0 Kwid, Triber or Kiger uses an Easy-R AMT (a robotised manual — a normal manual with a computer-controlled clutch). A 1.2 TCe Clio IV, Captur or Megane uses an EDC dual-clutch (the Getrag 6DCT250 "DC4", later the 7DCT300). A Koleos or turbo Kiger uses an X-Tronic CVT. And older Megane/Scenic models ran a DP0/AL4 torque-converter auto. They share no internals and won't interchange. The manual range — JH3/JR5 5-speed and TL4/TL8 6-speed — is the simplest and cheapest to source. If you're weighing up an engine at the same time, compare it against a used Renault engine so you can plan the whole job — see the related-parts links below.
The box most Renault owners end up replacing is the EDC dual-clutch. The Getrag 6DCT250 suffers clutch-pack judder, harsh or hesitant shifts and mechatronic / TCU electronic faults — the same dual-clutch weaknesses seen on similar Getrag units in other brands. On the newer cars the 6-speed was replaced by the 7-speed 7DCT300, and the two are not interchangeable, so it's essential to confirm by VIN which one your car has before you buy. Indicative pricing is shown above, but the EDC and X-Tronic CVT are best quoted directly.
EDC judder, harsh shifts and limp-mode are often clutch-pack or mechatronic faults rather than a dead gearbox — and Easy-R AMT roughness is frequently just clutch and actuator wear. It's worth having the fault properly diagnosed before committing to a full box. If the car is older and you're weighing up the spend, it's also worth checking what it's worth for scrap first.

A used Renault manual starts around R3,200 for a Sandero/Clio JH3/JR5 5-speed, with the small-car (Kwid/Triber/Kiger) and 1.5 dCi 6-speed manuals running roughly R8,000 – R13,800. The Easy-R AMT (robotised manual on the Kwid range) is around R10,000. The EDC dual-clutch and X-Tronic CVT autos are rarely listed at a fixed price — those are best quoted directly, so submit one request and verified suppliers come back with prices for your exact model.
They are three completely different "automatics" that share no parts. Easy-R is an AMT (a normal manual with a computer-controlled clutch — robotised manual). EDC is a Getrag dual-clutch (6DCT250 "DC4", later the 7DCT300). X-Tronic is a JATCO CVT (belt/pulley). There is also the older DP0/AL4 torque-converter auto on early Megane/Scenic. None of the four are interchangeable, so when you request a quote, tell us your model, year and engine so suppliers match the correct unit.
The EDC (Getrag 6DCT250 "DC4") is the box most owners replace. Common faults are clutch-pack judder, mechatronic / TCU electronic problems and harsh or hesitant shifts — the same dual-clutch weaknesses seen on similar Getrag units in other brands. That is exactly why there is strong demand for replacement EDC units in South Africa, and why matching the right one (6-speed 6DCT250 vs 7-speed 7DCT300) matters.
It is both, in a sense — Easy-R is an AMT (automated manual transmission), which is a normal manual gearbox with an electronically controlled clutch and gear actuator, so you drive it like an automatic but it is mechanically a manual. It is not a CVT and not a dual-clutch EDC. The base transaxle is Renault's JS3 5-speed, so suppliers match it by the Easy-R name and your model (Kwid, Triber or Kiger) — confirm the exact unit by VIN before you commit.
Three things decide it: your model and year, the engine, and which transmission was fitted (manual, Easy-R AMT, EDC dual-clutch or X-Tronic CVT). For example a 1.2 TCe Clio IV uses an EDC dual-clutch while a 1.0 Kwid uses an Easy-R AMT — totally different boxes. Give your VIN and engine code when you request a quote and suppliers will confirm the exact unit before you commit.
It varies by supplier. Used units typically carry a 30–90 day warranty; reconditioned units usually 3–12 months. On the EDC dual-clutch boxes, check whether the mechatronic / clutch module is covered. Always get the warranty terms in writing and confirm whether fitment at a qualified workshop is required.
