Where the Acura MDX transmission is listed
We found priced Acura MDX transmission listings at 330 salvage yards across 40 states. Texas supplies the most, with 223 listings (18% of the total) from 46 yards. Location matters: yards in Georgia ask a median $1,192, while Michigan yards ask $1,850, 55% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Acura MDX transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura MDX transmission are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 6 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 32% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,582.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (AT), FWD, lists at a $2,333 median, while (AT), AWD, sport package (Type S) commands $2,613, a 12% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2020 units carry the lowest median at $1,148, while 2025 tops the table at $2,348. Parts from 2020–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2020 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 2 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura MDX sits 112% above the Ram 1500 ($699), 42% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 28% below the Ford F150 ($2,060) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used transmission: what to check
- Ask for the donor mileage. Under 80K miles leaves significantly more service life.
- Confirm the torque converter is included with automatics; most yards include it, but verify.
- Match engine and drivetrain exactly. A CVT from a base trim won't fit a manual sport trim.
- Ask if the unit was test-driven or fluid-inspected before the donor was dismantled.
- Plan a fluid and filter change at install. Old fluid in a good unit causes avoidable failures.
