Market analysis

How much does a used Buick Enclave torque converter cost?

Asking prices for a used Buick Enclave 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. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 100% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $399.

Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $150, while 2018 tops the table at $500. Parts from 2013–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Enclave sits 9% below the Jeep Compass ($219), 7% below the Jeep Cherokee ($215), and 18% below 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

  1. Inspect hub neck snout and drive notch: Check the small transmission pump drive neck for deep grooves, burrs, or rounded drive blade notches.
  2. 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.
  3. Check starter ring gear tooth condition: Examine outer perimeter ring gear teeth for chipped, rounded, or ground-down teeth caused by starter engagement failures.
  4. Confirm pilot hub diameter and bolt pattern: Measure pilot stub diameter and bolt circle spacing to match your engine crankshaft and flexplate layout.
  5. 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.
