Code: AC60F · 6-speed automatic
The Aisin AC60F 6-speed automatic behind the 2.8 GD-6 Hilux and Fortuner. Compare quotes from verified suppliers for used, reconditioned and new units. Worth asking about torque converter and valve-body condition.
Code: AC60E · 5/6-speed automatic
Automatic for the 2GD-FTV 2.4 GD-6. Shift-quality complaints usually trace to valve-body solenoids, so most buyers source a complete unit. Get quotes from suppliers who can confirm fitment to your VIN.
Code: R150F / R151F · 5-speed manual
The backbone of the D-4D Hilux range — the most abundant used Toyota bakkie gearbox in South Africa. Clutch kits are sold separately. Compare quotes from suppliers nationwide.
Code: RC60J · 6-speed manual
The current 6-speed manual behind the 2.8 GD-6. Newer platform means fewer donor units, so used stock is tighter than the older R150F. Request quotes to compare used vs reconditioned.
Code: A750F · 5-speed automatic
Aisin A750F 5-speed auto for Prado and mid-size 4x4 Toyotas. A tough unit; most failures are valve-body related. Heavier-ticket box, so supplier warranty terms matter.
Code: AB60F · 6-speed automatic
The heavy-duty Aisin AB60F 6-speed rated for V8 torque, fitted to the Land Cruiser 200 and 70-Series V8 diesel. A specialist unit, and the highest-value Toyota gearbox on the market.
Code: R351 · 5-speed manual
The R351 5-speed manual fitted across the petrol (2TR-FE) and diesel (2KD-FTV) 200-series Quantum and Hi-Ace. Taxi-market staple — donors often have high km, so clutch kits are usually replaced at the same time.
Code: A340E / A340F · 4-speed automatic
The reliable Aisin A340 4-speed auto behind the 2.7 petrol vans, a workhorse favoured by fleet and taxi operators. Plenty of donor supply keeps pricing reasonable.
Code: U340E · 4-speed automatic
The most common small-car automatic in the SA Toyota range: the Aisin U340E 4-speed transaxle. Plentiful donor stock from Corolla, Auris and Etios keeps quotes affordable.
Code: C59 / C60 · 5-speed manual
The light-duty C-series manual transaxle shared across the Corolla, RunX, Auris and Yaris family — easy to interchange and cheap to source. (Older Tazz/Conquest 2E models use the related C150.)
Code: 2NR (5-speed) · 5-speed manual
The 5-speed manual transaxle behind the 1.5 2NR Etios — a manual-only model in SA, so there is no factory automatic. Affordable and well-supplied from donor cars.
Code: 5-speed manual · 5-speed manual
The 5-speed manual for the Daihatsu-derived Avanza MPV. High donor supply from this popular family and taxi platform keeps quotes competitive.
Indicative ranges by model and transmission. Actual quotes depend on kilometres, condition, and whether you want used, reconditioned or new.

A handful of transmission families repeat across the SA Toyota range.
AC60F & AB60F. Current Hilux, Fortuner 2.8 GD-6 and Land Cruiser 200. Aisin internals, electronically controlled.
A750F for Prado and Land Cruiser, plus the 2.4 GD-6 auto. Tough and rebuild-friendly.
R150F & RC60J (Hilux), R351 (Quantum) and the C59/C60 transaxle (Corolla, Yaris). Low-cost and easy to rebuild.
U340E (Corolla, Auris, Etios) and A340 (Quantum, Hi-Ace petrol). Older design, huge SA donor supply.
A gearbox swap is second only to an engine replacement in labour cost, so matching the right transmission to your vehicle matters. Toyota's SA range leans on a small set of transmission families: the AC60F and AB60F Aisin 6-speed automatics cover the current Hilux, Fortuner and Land Cruiser 200; the A750F 5-speed auto sits behind Prado; the R150F 5-speed manual is the go-to Hilux box; and the U340E auto and C59/C60 manual handle the Corolla, Auris, Etios and Yaris range. If you're replacing the engine as well, compare it against a used Toyota engine at the same time so you can plan the whole job.
Three things must line up: the bellhousing bolt pattern, the input-shaft spline count, and (for automatics) the ECU/TCM programming. A 2.8 GD-6 AC60F won't simply bolt behind a 2.4 GD-6 engine without throwing ratio codes. When you request a quote, give your VIN, year, engine code and whether the vehicle is 2x4 or 4x4 — suppliers use that to confirm the correct unit before you commit.
Slipping, flaring between shifts and "no drive" symptoms often point to the gearbox — but can also come from a tired torque converter, a blocked valve body, or coolant intrusion from a failing radiator. Rule the engine and cooling system out before committing to a replacement box. Many buyers in the market for a gearbox are also weighing up scrapping the vehicle — if that's you, it's worth checking what your car is worth for scrap before spending on a major repair.

Used Toyota gearboxes start from around R2,500 for older small-car manuals (Tazz, Corolla, Conquest) and run up to R85,000 for the Land Cruiser V8 AB60F automatic. The most common bakkie unit — the R150F Hilux manual — typically sits at R14,000 – R24,000. Automatics generally cost 40–80% more than the equivalent manual. Submit one quote request and compare offers from verified suppliers for your exact model.
Toyota manuals (R150F, R351, C59/C60) are exceptionally durable and cheaper to repair. Toyota automatics (Aisin AC60F, A750F, A340, U340E) are also reliable, but failures — usually valve body or solenoids — cost more when they happen. For 4x4 and load-carrying use a well-maintained manual typically outlasts an auto; for daily commuting a modern Toyota auto is trouble-free for 250,000 km+ with regular fluid changes.
Yes. Gearboxes are matched to engine torque, bellhousing bolt pattern, input-shaft spline count and (on automatics) ECU/TCM programming. A 2.8 GD-6 AC60F will not simply bolt to a 2.5 D-4D. Always give your VIN, year, engine code and whether it is 2x4 or 4x4 when requesting a quote so suppliers can confirm the correct unit.
Used complete automatics usually ship with the torque converter attached. Manual gearboxes do not include the clutch kit or flywheel — those are separate (often R3,500 – R6,500 on Quantum and Hilux). New and reman units may quote the converter separately. Always confirm exactly what is included before you commit.
A skilled workshop can swap a Hilux manual in about 4–6 hours and an automatic in 6–9 hours. Land Cruiser 4x4 units take 8–12 hours because the transfer case must be disconnected. On an automatic, always refill with fresh Toyota-spec ATF — running old fluid through a fresh unit will damage it.
It varies by supplier. Used units commonly carry a 30–90 day warranty, while reconditioned and new aftermarket gearboxes usually come with 6–12 months. Always get the warranty terms in writing and confirm whether fitment at a qualified workshop is required for the warranty to stand.
