Market analysis
Why does the Acura ILX torque converter cost more?
A used Acura ILX torque converter carries a median asking price of $305, which is 30% higher than the Jeep Cherokee at $215. Supply also plays a role: Jeep Cherokee has 520 priced listings versus 12 for Acura ILX, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Acura ILX average ($236) falls below its median ($305), suggesting a cluster of deeply discounted units — often high-mileage or incomplete assemblies.
Our guide covers 8 model years for the Jeep Cherokee (2015–2023) but only 3 for the Acura ILX (2015–2018), so the Jeep Cherokee data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Jeep Cherokee torque converter is interchangeable across 8 model years versus just 2 for the Acura ILX — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Jeep Cherokee is 30% cheaper ($215 vs $305) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used torque converter
- Match stall speed rating, flexplate bolt pattern diameter, and pilot hub dimensions to your engine and transmission combination.
- Inspect turbine neck and pump drive hub for scoring, bluing from extreme heat, or worn torque converter clutch friction lining metal debris.
- Shake the unit or inspect fluid drained from it for metallic glint or dark burnt oil indicating internal clutch failure.
- Check input shaft spline teeth and stator splines inside the hub to ensure none are stripped or rounded off.
