Transmission for the Suzuki Dzire
The Dzire sold here as the Dzire that arrived here under its own name in 2018, and the fourth-generation car from 2025, so we work from the generation rather than the name on the tailgate to find Suzuki Dzire replacement parts, matched to your car
Used, aftermarket and reconditioned parts. Not supplied by Suzuki Auto South Africa.
What we need before we can price transmission
Suzuki fields three quite different automatics locally — a conventional torque-converter automatic, a CVT, and the AMT automated manual used on the budget cars. The AMT is a manual gearbox with an actuator bolted to it, so its parts have nothing in common with either of the others despite all three being sold as "auto". Getting that wrong is the most expensive mistake on this page.
The decision in front of you is usually whether a repair, a reconditioned unit or a good used gearbox represents the best value on a car of this age. To get you a straight answer on it we need whether the car is manual, AMT, CVT or a conventional automatic, plus which engine sits in front of it.
The car
Suzuki Dzire, year of manufacture, and the derivative if you know it.
The code
VIN or registration number. A photo of the licence disc works just as well.
The problem
What has failed, or what you need replaced. A photo helps for anything cosmetic.
Which transmission does your Dzire need?
Whether the car is manual, AMT, CVT or a conventional automatic, plus which engine sits in front of it will settle most of these. Pick the component and we'll confirm the rest.

The Dzire reached South Africa as the Dzire that arrived here under its own name in 2018, and the fourth-generation car from 2025, running K12M 1.2 (2018–2024) and Z12E 1.2 three-cylinder (2025 on). Transmission fitment splits on the generation long before it splits on trim. People search for "Swift Dzire" out of habit, but the car sold here since 2018 is simply the Dzire — and it now spans two engines, the four-cylinder K12M and the newer three-cylinder Z12E, which share nothing bolted to them. Find your derivative below, then send the code from the VIN plate with your enquiry.
- Suzuki Dzire 1.2 GA
- Suzuki Dzire 1.2 GL
- Suzuki Dzire 1.2 GL+
- Suzuki Dzire 1.2 GL AMT

One Dzire, several parts lists — the short explanation
Will one transmission listing cover every Dzire?
It will not. There is no single Dzire for parts purposes — the Dzire that arrived here under its own name in 2018, and the fourth-generation car from 2025 have all been sold here.People search for "Swift Dzire" out of habit, but the car sold here since 2018 is simply the Dzire — and it now spans two engines, the four-cylinder K12M and the newer three-cylinder Z12E, which share nothing bolted to them.
How do I tell which engine is in mine?
Locally sold cars came with K12M 1.2 (2018–2024) and Z12E 1.2 three-cylinder (2025 on). Go by the code stamped on the block — the badge on the tailgate settles nothing.
What do you need from me to price transmission?
Whether the car is manual, AMT, CVT or a conventional automatic, plus which engine sits in front of it. Suzuki fields three quite different automatics locally — a conventional torque-converter automatic, a CVT, and the AMT automated manual used on the budget cars. The AMT is a manual gearbox with an actuator bolted to it, so its parts have nothing in common with either of the others despite all three being sold as "auto". Getting that wrong is the most expensive mistake on this page.
Locally, the Dzire is mostly heavily used in metered and e-hailing work, which front-loads wear onto suspension, brakes and front-end panels long before the engine becomes the issue. That is the wear pattern we source against, and it is why we ask what the car does rather than only what it is.
Suzuki Dzire Transmission — questions we get asked
Does transmission fitment change across Dzire generations?
Almost always. Across the Dzire that arrived here under its own name in 2018, and the fourth-generation car from 2025, people search for "Swift Dzire" out of habit, but the car sold here since 2018 is simply the Dzire — and it now spans two engines, the four-cylinder K12M and the newer three-cylinder Z12E, which share nothing bolted to them. Tell us the year and we can rule most transmission options in or out immediately.
Which Dzire engines were sold here, and does it affect transmission?
K12M 1.2 (2018–2024) and Z12E 1.2 three-cylinder (2025 on). Transmission fitment often follows the engine family rather than the nameplate, so the code on the block is worth reading before you order.
Could transmission from another model fit my Dzire?
Sometimes, and it is worth knowing where: the 2018 car is mechanically very close to the Swift of the same period, though the body panels are not interchangeable behind the front doors. Where the hardware is genuinely shared it widens the pool we can search for transmission. We verify the overlap before offering it — we never assume it.
