The Hilux runs these 5 gearboxes — match yours by VIN and engine, then request a free quote.
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 (2WD) / AC60F (4WD) · 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: RC61F (4WD) / RC61 (2WD) · 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: 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.

Looking for a used Toyota Hilux gearbox in South Africa? Engine Finder connects you with verified suppliers and scrapyards countrywide, so you can compare prices and find the right gearbox for your bakkie fast. Whether you drive the 2.8 GD-6, 2.4 GD-6, the older 2.5 or 3.0 D-4D, or the 2.7 VVTi petrol, you'll find both manual and automatic options. The Hilux runs torque-converter autos (like the AC60E/AC60F 6-speed) and tough 5- and 6-speed manuals — never a dual-clutch unit. Tell us your model year, whether it's a 4x2 or 4x4, and your engine code, and verified suppliers will come back to you with a quote.
Hilux gearboxes are generally hard-wearing, but high-mileage bakkies do show wear. Manual R150F/R151F units can develop notchy shifts, worn synchros or clutch issues over time. The AC60E/AC60F 6-speed autos and the older A340 4-speed can suffer torque-converter shudder, harsh shifts or solenoid faults if fluid changes were skipped. 4x4 models add transfer-case considerations. Always confirm whether you need a 4x2 or 4x4 unit, match the exact engine, and quote your VIN so suppliers send the correct gearbox.

Hilux gearbox prices depend on the engine and whether it's manual or automatic. As a rough guide, the AC60F 6-speed auto for the 2.8 GD-6 ranges around R28,000–R48,000, the R150F/R151F 5-speed manual around R14,000–R24,000, the RC61F/RC61 6-speed manual around R14,000–R22,000, and the A340 4-speed auto for the 2.7 VVTi around R11,000–R20,000. Request a quote for current pricing from verified suppliers near you.
The Hilux 2.8 GD-6 4WD uses the AC60F 6-speed torque-converter automatic, typically priced around R28,000–R48,000 used. The 2.4 GD-6 runs the AC60E in 2WD and the AC60F in 4WD. These are conventional torque-converter autos, not PowerShift or dual-clutch units. Confirm your engine code and whether your bakkie is a 4x2 or 4x4 so suppliers can match the correct gearbox.
The 2.5 and 3.0 D-4D Hilux (2005–2015) and the 2.4 GD-6 manual use the R150F/R151F 5-speed manual gearbox, usually around R14,000–R24,000 used. The 2.8 GD-6 manual runs the RC61F (4WD) or RC61 (2WD) 6-speed. Always match your exact engine, body type and drivetrain when requesting a quote, and have your VIN ready for the supplier.
It matters a lot — 4x2 and 4x4 Hilux gearboxes are different units and aren't interchangeable. For example, the 2.8 GD-6 manual uses the RC61 in 2WD but the RC61F in 4WD, and the 2.4 GD-6 auto splits between the AC60E (2WD) and AC60F (4WD). Check your licence disc or VIN and tell the supplier your exact engine and drivetrain so they send the right gearbox first time.
