Suzuki Transmission Pump for Sale in South Africa

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. In practice the decision in front of you is whether a repair, a reconditioned unit or a good used gearbox represents the best value on a car of this age.

Whether the car is manual, AMT, CVT or a conventional automatic, plus which engine sits in front of it. With that we can usually confirm the right part quickly, and we'll tell you whether we're quoting new, aftermarket or good used rather than leaving you to guess.

Not always, but it is the first suspect when the whine is there in Park and Neutral and tracks engine speed rather than road speed. Check the fluid level and condition before anything else, because a gearbox low on fluid whines simply from the pump drawing air, and correcting the level can silence it completely. A whine tied to road speed points at the gear train or a bearing instead.

Because the fluid is not just lubrication, it is the working medium. Air in the circuit compresses where fluid does not, so line pressure collapses and the clutch packs slip instead of clamping. That slipping makes heat and sheds friction material, which circulates straight back through the pump. A leak ignored for a month can cost the whole gearbox.

Physically yes. It sits at the front of the gearbox behind the converter, so the box comes out and the front pump assembly comes off. Whether it makes sense on its own is the real question. If the fluid was full of debris, the clutch packs and valve body are compromised too, and a full overhaul or a sound used gearbox is usually the better spend.

No. The AMT that Suzuki sells as AGS, fitted to the S-Presso, Celerio, Ignis and older Swift, is a manual gearbox with actuators working the clutch and the shift, so there is no hydraulic pump of this kind and no clutch packs. It runs ordinary gearbox oil and a clutch that wears like any manual clutch. If your car is an AGS and it is slipping, you are looking at a clutch, not a pump.

The model, the year, the engine and the gearbox code stamped on the casing, plus the VIN if you have it. Automatic units differ between derivatives and across facelifts more than most people expect, and a pump from the wrong variant of the same gearbox family will not seal correctly. Send it through the quote form and we will confirm fitment.
