From the R150F Hilux manual and C-series Corolla transaxle to the Aisin AC60F, A750F and U340E automatics — plus the K313/K311 CVT on the newer petrols. Suppliers cover the full Toyota range.
A 2WD Hilux runs an AC60E where the 4WD runs an AC60F, and the newer Corolla is a CVT — not the old 4-speed. Tell us your VIN and we match the exact gearbox code, ratio and bellhousing so your ECU and speedo stay correct.
Compare used OEM, reconditioned and new aftermarket options side by side — and ask whether the valve body and torque converter are included, with warranty terms confirmed by each supplier before you buy.

Condition & warranty
The same Toyota 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.
Tested second-hand unit removed from a lower-mileage donor vehicle.
Your old core is surrendered; the unit is stripped, rebuilt and tested.
A brand-new unit — 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.
Toyota's diesel bakkies and big 4x4s run a conventional Aisin torque-converter automatic; the petrol Corollas and Yaris run a CVT. Find your family below, then send your VIN so suppliers quote the exact box.
Conventional planetary auto — bakkies & big 4x4s
The current Aisin 6-speed behind the 2.4 and 2.8 GD-6 — AC60E on 2WD, AC60F on 4WD. Shift complaints usually trace to the valve body, not the whole box.
The A750F 5-speed for Prado and Land Cruiser, and the heavy-duty AB60F 6-speed rated for the 5.7 V8. Big-ticket boxes — check warranty terms.
The older 4-speed autos: A340 behind the 2.7 petrol vans, and the U340E transaxle on the pre-2014 Corolla, Auris and Yaris. Huge donor supply.
Belt-and-pulley CVT on the petrols — plus the manuals
The belt-and-pulley CVT on the newer petrols — a completely different design that shares no parts with the old 4-speed auto. Confirm by VIN.
The R150F 5-speed is the backbone of the D-4D Hilux; the RC61F 6-speed is the current 2.8 GD-6 manual. The clutch kit is always separate.
The light-duty C-series manual shared across the Corolla, RunX, Auris and Yaris — easy to interchange and cheap to source.
The Hilux/Fortuner diesels use an Aisin torque-converter auto (not a CVT); the Corolla/Yaris petrols use a CVT — confirm by VIN. The two share no internal parts, and the pre-2014 4-speed U340E and the newer CVT are easy to mix up on a Corolla.
Still not sure? and suppliers will confirm the exact gearbox for you.
On the Aisin autos especially, many of these point to a valve-body or solenoid fault rather than a dead gearbox — so get it diagnosed before you replace the whole unit.
A Toyota gearbox lives or dies on clean fluid and staying inside its limits. A few habits go a long way on SA roads:
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 AC60E/AC60F and AB60F Aisin torque-converter 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 newer Corolla and Yaris petrols run the K313/K311 CVT — a belt-and-pulley design, not the old 4-speed U340E auto. If you're replacing the engine as well, it's worth comparing a used Toyota engine at the same time so you can plan the whole job — see the related-parts links below.
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. On the CVT petrols, a whine or shudder can be belt or fluid rather than a dead unit. 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.
