Market analysis

Why does the Honda Passport transmission cost more?

A used Honda Passport transmission carries a median asking price of $1,305, which is 46% higher than the Ram 1500 at $700. Supply also plays a role: Ram 1500 has 6,280 priced listings versus 522 for Honda Passport, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

The Honda Passport average ($1,506) runs 15% above its median ($1,305), 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 Ram 1500 (2015–2025) but only 7 for the Honda Passport (2019–2025), so the Ram 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Ram 1500 transmission is interchangeable across 13 model years versus just 7 for the Honda Passport — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Ram 1500 is 45% cheaper ($750 vs $1,363) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.

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.
