Market analysis
Why does the Hyundai Palisade transmission cost more?
A used Hyundai Palisade transmission carries a median asking price of $1,090, which is 33% higher than the Ram 1500 at $725. Supply also plays a role: Ram 1500 has 5,686 priced listings versus 98 for Hyundai Palisade, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Ram 1500 average ($843) runs 16% above its median ($725), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 10 model years for the Ram 1500 (2015–2025) but only 1 for the Hyundai Palisade (2020–2020), so the Ram 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Ram 1500 transmission is interchangeable across 13 model years versus just 3 for the Hyundai Palisade — 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 22% cheaper ($783 vs $1,000) — the gap narrows 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.
