Market analysis
How much does a used Acura ILX torque converter cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura ILX torque converter are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 4 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $90, while 2016 tops the table at $305. Year-level pages linked in the table above break each one down by grade and variant.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura ILX sits 39% above the Jeep Compass ($219), 42% above the Jeep Cherokee ($215), and 25% above the Volkswagen Atlas ($244) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used torque converter: what to check
- Inspect hub neck snout and drive notch: Check the small transmission pump drive neck for deep grooves, burrs, or rounded drive blade notches.
- Verify internal stator one-way clutch operation: Insert a spline tool into the stator hub to confirm it locks firmly in one direction and spins freely in the other.
- Check starter ring gear tooth condition: Examine outer perimeter ring gear teeth for chipped, rounded, or ground-down teeth caused by starter engagement failures.
- Confirm pilot hub diameter and bolt pattern: Measure pilot stub diameter and bolt circle spacing to match your engine crankshaft and flexplate layout.
- Fully seat converter splines before transmission bolting: Spin and push the converter until it drops past two distinct spline steps into the oil pump drive.
