Market analysis

Why does the Ford Explorer transmission cost more?

A used Ford Explorer transmission carries a median asking price of $1,564, which is 13% higher than the Acura Integra at $1,388. Supply also plays a role: Ford Explorer has 3,850 priced listings versus 314 for Acura Integra, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 83% of Acura Integra listings compared to 60% for the Ford Explorer, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Acura Integra side.

The Ford Explorer average ($1,821) runs 16% above its median ($1,564), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 11 model years for the Ford Explorer (2015–2025) but only 3 for the Acura Integra (2023–2025), so the Ford Explorer data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Ford Explorer transmission is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 5 for the Acura Integra — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

At Grade B (good) condition, the Acura Integra is 47% cheaper ($1,250 vs $2,365) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.

The Ford Explorer has 7 known trim variants compared to 3 for the Acura Integra, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Ford Explorer.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used transmission

  • Match the exact transmission ID stamped on the case — the same vehicle can use different units depending on engine, drivetrain, and gear ratio.
  • Ask if the transmission was tested before removal. Fluid color matters: red/pink is healthy, brown or burnt-smelling fluid signals internal wear.
  • Confirm whether a torque converter (automatic) or clutch kit (manual) is included. Replacing these separately adds $150–$400.
  • Check the warranty: reputable yards offer 30–90 days on transmissions. Avoid any with no warranty at all.
