We crate and ship complete gearboxes to all 9 provinces — Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Free State, Northern Cape, North West. Dual-depot dispatch from Johannesburg (Gemini Parts) and Cape Town (Caryota Spare) means faster turnaround wherever you are. Gearboxes ship on wooden pallets with ATF drained for safe transport.
A gearbox swap is second only to an engine replacement in labour cost, so matching the right transmission to your vehicle is essential. Toyota's SA lineup uses a small number of transmission families that repeat across many models: the AC60F and AB60F Aisin 6-speed automatics cover the current Hilux, Fortuner and Land Cruiser 200; the A750F 5-speed auto sits behind Prado and older Land Cruiser; the R150F 5-speed manual is the go-to Hilux manual gearbox; and the U340E 4-speed auto and C59/C60 manual handle the Corolla, Auris, Etios and Yaris range.
Three things must match: the bellhousing bolt pattern, the input shaft spline count, and (for automatics) the ECU/TCM software. Running an AC60F from a 2.8 GD-6 Hilux behind a 2.4 GD-6 engine, for example, will throw ratio codes and upset the traction-control system. Our quotes always confirm donor-vehicle VIN and gear-ratio stamping so your speedo and fuel economy stay accurate. On a 4x4, also confirm your low-range transfer unit mounting face matches — part-time and full-time 4WD transfer cases don't interchange.
Slipping, flaring between shifts, and “no drive” symptoms often point to the gearbox — but can also be caused by an overworked torque converter, a blocked valve body, or coolant intrusion from a failing radiator (common on 1GD-FTV Hilux). If the underlying engine has developed a compression issue or a broken head gasket and casting, the transmission may simply be struggling under an engine that's dumping heat and pressure into the ATF. Rule the engine out before replacing the box. In borderline cases, pricing both a bench-tested donor engine and a gearbox up front lets you make a full-driveline decision rather than discovering the engine is tired after the gearbox is already in.
A transmission swap opens access to everything behind it, so it's worth asking about adjacent drivetrain work at the same time. 4x4 owners should have the matching diff ratio checked while the driveshafts are out — mismatched ratios between a replacement box and the existing diff cause driveline bind. Diesel Hilux and Fortuner owners whose gearbox failed from heat cycling should also inspect the turbo intake side: a boost leak driving excessive heat into the transmission cooler is a common root cause. Let us know the full vehicle history when you request a quote and we'll flag which adjacent parts are worth doing concurrently.
Used Toyota gearboxes start around R7,500 for small Corolla/Yaris manuals and go up to R85,000 for Land Cruiser V8 AB60F autos. The most common unit — the R150F Hilux manual — typically costs R14,000 – R24,000 used. Auto gearboxes are roughly 40-80% more expensive than their manual equivalents. New aftermarket/remanufactured units sit at the top of each range.
Toyota manuals (R150F, C59, C60) are exceptionally durable and cheaper to repair. Toyota autos (Aisin AC60F, A750F, A340) are also reliable but failures tend to be more expensive when they happen — valve body and solenoid issues dominate. For bakkie/4x4 use under load, a well-maintained manual typically outlasts an auto. For daily commuting, modern Toyota autos are trouble-free for 250,000+ km with regular fluid changes.
Yes — gearboxes are matched to engine torque output, bellhousing bolt pattern, and ECU programming. A 2.8 GD-6 AC60F will not directly bolt to a 2.5 D-4D without a major conversion. Always supply your VIN or engine code when requesting a quote so we can cross-reference the correct unit. Within the same engine family, interchange is usually straightforward (e.g. Hilux and Fortuner D-4D share gearboxes).
Used complete auto gearboxes usually ship with the torque converter attached. Manuals do not include the clutch kit or flywheel — those are separate. New aftermarket and reman units typically come without the torque converter (a reman converter is sold separately, R3,500 – R8,500). Always confirm what is included when ordering.
A skilled workshop can swap a Hilux manual gearbox in 4-6 hours and an auto in 6-9 hours. Land Cruiser 4x4 units take 8-12 hours due to transfer-case disconnect. Plan for a full day in the workshop. When swapping an auto, always replace the fluid and filter with fresh Toyota-spec ATF — running old fluid destroys a fresh unit.
New aftermarket and remanufactured gearboxes from Gemini Parts (JHB) carry a 6-12 month warranty (unit-dependent). Used OEM gearboxes from Caryota Spare (CPT) are road-tested or bench-tested before dispatch and carry a 30-90 day warranty. Installation by a qualified workshop using Toyota-spec fluid is required for warranty to apply.
