Market analysis
How much does a used Buick Regal torque converter cost?
Asking prices for a used Buick Regal 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.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, Regal Sportback; Avenir, Essence, Preferred & base model, lists at a $237 median, while Regal Sportback; GS commands $384, a 62% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $200, while 2020 tops the table at $280. Parts from 2010–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Regal sits 8% above the Jeep Compass ($219), 10% above the Jeep Cherokee ($215), and 3% 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
- 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.
