Where the Chevy Impala transmission is listed
We found priced Chevy Impala transmission listings at 480 salvage yards across 45 states. Illinois supplies the most, with 209 listings (13% of the total) from 28 yards. Location matters: yards in Texas ask a median $1,060, while Georgia yards ask $1,878, 77% 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 Chevy Impala transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Chevy Impala 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 59% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,833.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.5L, lists at a $1,000 median, while 3.6L commands $2,100, a 110% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $1,500, while 2018 tops the table at $1,800. Parts from 2013–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Chevy Impala sits 127% above the Ram 1500 ($705), 37% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,548), and 22% 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.
