Where the Acura RDX transmission is listed
We found priced Acura RDX transmission listings at 286 salvage yards across 35 states. Texas supplies the most, with 196 listings (25% of the total) from 48 yards. Location matters: yards in California ask a median $450, while North Carolina yards ask $2,075, 361% 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 RDX transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura RDX transmission 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 100% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $999.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (AT), AWD, lists at a $2,160 median, while (AT), FWD commands $2,248, a 4% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $450, while 2025 tops the table at $2,848. Parts from 2013–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura RDX sits 21% above the Ram 1500 ($700), 67% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 59% 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.
