Reconditioned Suzuki Swift 1.3 Gearbox

The M13A 5-speed manual gearbox ages poorly on the Swift 1.3 from 2005 to 2010

On the Swift 1.3 with the M13A engine, the 5-speed manual gearbox has two well-known weaknesses: premature wear of the 2nd and 3rd gear synchronisers, and excessive play at the differential output after 150,000 km. These symptoms manifest as rough gear changes and bearing noise on the transmission side. The condition of the original unit deteriorates so badly that reconditioning the gearbox becomes inevitable rather than optional.

The available references cover production 2005–2010 in two ways: exchange or reconditioning of your own gearbox. The latter offers a genuine technical advantage when the vehicle is older and the original part number must be retained for type approval or workshop records.

How can I be sure it is compatible with my Suzuki?

Do I need to send back my old unit?

Yes, that is the principle of an exchange unit: you return your old gearbox (the core), which we recondition in turn. We arrange transport both ways, so you don't have to handle any logistics.

How long does it take to receive the gearbox for my Suzuki?

Once compatibility is confirmed and depending on the availability of the reference, the part leaves our workshop ready to fit, delivered throughout France and Europe, with payment in instalments available (up to 10 payments).
