Kizashi Transmission, Identified Before It Ships
Whether the car is manual, AMT, CVT or a conventional automatic, plus which engine sits in front of it — that is what turns a transmission enquiry into Suzuki Kizashi second-hand parts, matched to your car
Used, aftermarket and reconditioned parts. Not supplied by Suzuki Auto South Africa.
Before you send the Kizashi 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 Kizashi, 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.
Transmission broken down
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The Kizashi reached South Africa as the Kizashi, launched in South Africa in 2011 and long since withdrawn, running J24B 2.4. Transmission fitment splits on the generation long before it splits on trim. This car sold in tiny numbers here and has been outside the dealer network for years, so anything Kizashi-specific has to be tracked down rather than ordered — the engine is the exception, because it was not exclusive to the model. Find your derivative below, then send the code from the VIN plate with your enquiry.
- Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 SDLX
- Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 SLX
- Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 Sport

What a parts desk needs to hear about your Kizashi
What shifts across the years
the Kizashi, launched in South Africa in 2011 and long since withdrawn are all still on the road locally, and they do not share one catalogue between them.
This car sold in tiny numbers here and has been outside the dealer network for years, so anything Kizashi-specific has to be tracked down rather than ordered — the engine is the exception, because it was not exclusive to the model.
Useful to know: the Kizashithe J24B is shared with the 2.4-litre JT Grand Vitara, which is the one place Kizashi sourcing gets easier.
What we check on transmission
- •The generation code — the Kizashi parts list splits on it
- •Which engine you have; this one was sold with J24B 2.4
- •Whether the car is manual, AMT, CVT or a conventional automatic, plus which engine sits in front of it
- •Where the car sits either side of its facelift
Locally, the Kizashi is mostly kept on the road by owners who like it rather than by anyone who needs it, which means they are willing to wait for the right part instead of accepting an approximation. That is the wear pattern we source against, and it is why we ask what the car does rather than only what it is.
Kizashi Transmission FAQs
Does transmission fitment change across Kizashi generations?
More than people expect. The Kizashi covers the Kizashi, launched in South Africa in 2011 and long since withdrawn here, and this car sold in tiny numbers here and has been outside the dealer network for years, so anything Kizashi-specific has to be tracked down rather than ordered — the engine is the exception, because it was not exclusive to the model. That is the single biggest factor in getting transmission right first time.
Which Kizashi engines were sold here, and does it affect transmission?
J24B 2.4. 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 Kizashi?
It can. The J24B is shared with the 2.4-litre JT Grand Vitara, which is the one place Kizashi sourcing gets easier. That gives us somewhere else to look when transmission is slow to turn up under the Kizashi name, though we still confirm the match against your VIN first.
The background reading on transmission, independent of which model you drive, sits on the Transmission page for the whole Suzuki range .
