Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 77% of Jeep Wrangler listings compared to 59% for the Honda Passport, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Jeep Wrangler side.

Our guide covers 10 model years for the Jeep Wrangler (2015–2025) but only 5 for the Honda Passport (2019–2025), so the Jeep Wrangler data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Jeep Wrangler transfer case is interchangeable across 19 model years versus just 10 for the Honda Passport — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used transfer case

  • Match the part number on the case — transfer cases vary by engine, gear ratio, and shift type (manual vs electronic).
  • Check for leaks around the input/output seals and the front/rear flanges.
  • Ask about the fluid condition at removal. Clean ATF is a good sign; burnt or metallic-flecked fluid signals internal wear.
  • Confirm whether the shift motor (on electronically shifted units) is included and functional.
