Code: JH3 / JR5 · 5-speed manual
The JH3 / JR5 5-speed manual transaxle behind the older Sandero, Logan and Clio (and the SA-built NP200, which is Logan-based and manual-only). The cheapest and simplest Renault gearbox to source and repair — compare quotes from verified suppliers for used and reconditioned units.
Code: TL4 / TL8 · 6-speed manual
The TL4 and TL8 6-speed manuals fitted to the 1.5 dCi diesel cars and the Duster. A robust, popular box for the diesel range — request a quote and suppliers will match the exact ratio set for your engine and model year.
Code: Easy-R AMT · 5-speed automatic
Easy-R is an AMT (automated manual / robotised manual) — a normal manual gearbox with a computer-controlled clutch and shift actuator. It is NOT a CVT and NOT a dual-clutch. Fitted to the Kwid, Triber and naturally-aspirated Kiger. (Renault has not published an internal code for this unit, so we match it by model and the Easy-R name, never a guessed part number.) Clutch and actuator wear are the usual service items.
Code: 6DCT250 (DC4) · 6-speed automatic
EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) is Renault's Getrag 6DCT250 "DC4" dual-clutch — a completely different box to the Easy-R AMT and the X-Tronic CVT. It is the most demand-driving Renault auto because it is the most failure-prone: judder, mechatronic / TCU faults and clutch-pack wear are common. Indicative pricing only — request a quote for an exact figure on your model.
Code: 7DCT300 · 7-speed automatic
The newer 7-speed EDC (7DCT300) replaced the 6DCT250 on the current 1.3 TCe cars. Still a dual-clutch (not a CVT, not an AMT) — confirm by VIN whether your car has the 6-speed or 7-speed EDC, because they are not interchangeable. Indicative pricing — request a quote.
Code: X-Tronic (JATCO) · CVT automatic
X-Tronic is a JATCO CVT (continuously variable, belt/pulley) shared with the Renault-Nissan alliance — fitted to the Koleos and the turbo Kiger. It is NOT a dual-clutch and NOT the Easy-R AMT. Belt/pulley wear and overheating are the classic CVT faults. Indicative pricing — request a quote to compare used vs reconditioned.
Indicative ranges by model and transmission. Actual quotes depend on kilometres, condition, and used vs reconditioned — and on the EDC, whether the mechatronic is included.

Renault uses four different "automatics" — and they share no parts. Know which one you have before you buy.
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 to source and repair.
A robotised manual (AMT) — a normal manual with a computer-controlled clutch. Fitted to the Kwid, Triber and Kiger. Not a CVT and not a dual-clutch.
Getrag 6DCT250 "DC4" (later 7DCT300) on the Clio IV, Captur and Megane TCe. The most failure-prone — judder, mechatronic/TCU and clutch-pack faults.
A JATCO belt/pulley CVT (shared with Nissan) on the Koleos and turbo Kiger. Not a dual-clutch — belt/pulley wear is the classic fault.
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.
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. Renault has not published an internal code for the unit, so suppliers match it by the Easy-R name and your model (Kwid, Triber or Kiger) rather than a part number.
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.
Send us your Renault model, year and engine, and tell us whether it's a manual, Easy-R, EDC or CVT. We'll get verified suppliers to quote you on used, reconditioned and new transmissions.
