Where the Acura MDX transfer case is listed

Market analysis
How much does a used Acura MDX transfer case cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura MDX transfer case are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten 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 127% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $397.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.5L, lists at a $539 median, while 3.0L (Type S) commands $795, a 47% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $146, while 2022 tops the table at $602. Parts from 2015–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura MDX sits 61% below the Ram 3500 ($1,005), 24% above the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($311), and 54% below the Jeep Wrangler ($843) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used transfer case: what to check
- Match the exact model code. Gear ratios differ across trims of the same truck.
- Ask whether fluid was inspected at removal; metallic fluid means walk away.
- Confirm electronic vs manual shift versions.
- Check the output shaft splines for wear before install.
