Suzuki Gearboxes For Sale
Manual, automatic and AGS gearboxes across the Suzuki range, plus the transfer cases and four-wheel-drive gear that sit under the Jimny. Quoted off the code on the casing.
Used and reconditioned units, identified from your VIN before we quote.
Checked, not just shifted
Used units get inspected before they are offered to you, and anything reconditioned has had the work done and documented.
Terms in writing
Cover varies by unit and by condition, so we set it out on the quote rather than making a blanket promise on a web page.
Collect it or have it sent
Collection is from Pretoria West. If you would rather it came to you, say where you are and the carriage goes on the quote before you commit to anything.
Suzuki Gearboxes We Source
Manual, automatic, automated-manual and 4x4 driveline. Send the casing code for an exact match.
5-Speed Manual
5MT
- The default across the range and the easiest box to find a donor for
- Check second-gear synchro on the test drive — that is where wear shows first
- The bellhousing has to suit your engine family, so quote the motor alongside the box
Priced against your VIN, because two of these that look identical often are not.
4-Speed Automatic
4AT
- The conventional torque-converter automatic — simple and generally hard-wearing
- Harsh or hunting shifts point at the valve body far more often than at worn gears
- Fluid that smells burnt on the dipstick means the internals are already cooked
Priced against your VIN, because two of these that look identical often are not.
AGS / Automated Manual
AGS · AMT
- A manual gearbox with a robot working the clutch and shift — not a torque-converter auto
- Most faults are the actuator bolted to the outside of the box, not the gears inside it
- That makes a repair far cheaper than a replacement, so get it diagnosed first
Priced against your VIN, because two of these that look identical often are not.
6-Speed Automatic
6AT
- Fitted to the larger crossovers rather than the small hatches
- Scarcer in local yards than the four-speed, so allow sourcing time
- Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions are not interchangeable
Priced against your VIN, because two of these that look identical often are not.
Jimny Transfer Case & 4WD Gear
Part-time 4WD · low range
- The part-time transfer case with low range that makes the Jimny what it is
- Off-road cars punch the underside, so check the casing for cracks and weeping seals
- Front and rear diff ratios must match the case or the driveline winds itself up
Priced against your VIN, because two of these that look identical often are not.
We do not publish figures for these. A used unit is priced on the donor vehicle it came out of, so the honest answer only exists once we know which car yours is — which is why every button on this page asks for your details rather than showing you a number we made up.

Buying a Replacement Suzuki Gearbox
Suzuki fits four quite different transmissions across its local range, and confusing them is the most expensive mistake available here. The five-speed manual is the mainstay. The four-speed automatic is a conventional torque-converter box. The AGS is a manual gearbox with an electro-hydraulic actuator doing the clutching and shifting for you — it drives like an automatic but is built like a manual, and it fails like neither. The six-speed automatic belongs to the larger crossovers. None of them substitutes for another, and the code cast into the casing is what tells us which you have.
If your car is an AGS, get it diagnosed before ordering anything at all. The overwhelming majority of AGS complaints trace back to the actuator assembly bolted to the outside of the gearbox, and replacing that costs a fraction of a complete unit. On the Jimny, the transfer case and both diffs behave as one system rather than three separate parts — the ratios have to agree front and rear or the driveline binds on tar. And whenever a manual box comes out, fit the clutch and check the engine rear main seal while everything is accessible, because doing that job a second time is what actually costs money.
