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.
