Suzuki Ignis Transmission
New, aftermarket and good used transmission for the Ignis, checked before anything is packed — always Suzuki Ignis replacement parts, matched to your car rather than to the badge
Used, aftermarket and reconditioned parts. Not supplied by Suzuki Auto South Africa.
Before you send the Ignis enquiry
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 Ignis, 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.
Pick the part your Ignis is missing
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 Ignis reached South Africa as the current Ignis, on sale in South Africa since 2017, running K12M 1.2. Transmission fitment splits on the generation long before it splits on trim. One engine runs across the entire local Ignis range, which makes engine-side sourcing unusually simple for a Suzuki — the variation is in trim, body colour panels and equipment level instead, so the derivative matters more for cosmetic parts than mechanical ones. Find your derivative below, then send the code from the VIN plate with your enquiry.
- Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GL
- Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GL Auto
- Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GLX
- Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GLX Auto

One Ignis, several parts lists — the short explanation
Will one transmission listing cover every Ignis?
It will not. There is no single Ignis for parts purposes — the current Ignis, on sale in South Africa since 2017 have all been sold here.One engine runs across the entire local Ignis range, which makes engine-side sourcing unusually simple for a Suzuki — the variation is in trim, body colour panels and equipment level instead, so the derivative matters more for cosmetic parts than mechanical ones.
How do I tell which engine is in mine?
Locally sold cars came with K12M 1.2. 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 Ignis is mostly a small car with SUV styling bought for city use, where kerb rash, bumper damage and pothole wear on the suspension are the everyday hazards. That is the wear pattern we source against, and it is why we ask what the car does rather than only what it is.
Ignis Transmission FAQs
Does transmission fitment change across Ignis generations?
Yes. One engine runs across the entire local Ignis range, which makes engine-side sourcing unusually simple for a Suzuki — the variation is in trim, body colour panels and equipment level instead, so the derivative matters more for cosmetic parts than mechanical ones. With the current Ignis, on sale in South Africa since 2017 to choose between, transmission is not something we quote off the model name alone.
Which Ignis engines were sold here, and does it affect transmission?
K12M 1.2. 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 Ignis?
Occasionally, yes — the K12M is shared with the 2018–2024 Swift and the Dzire of the same era. For transmission specifically we check whether the crossover actually holds before quoting, because a shared platform is a place to look rather than a guarantee.
Questions that apply to transmission on any Suzuki — what the part does, how you know it's failing, and what to check before buying — are covered on the Transmission page for the whole Suzuki range .
