Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 42% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $2,500.

Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Buying a used transmission: what to check

  1. Ask for the donor mileage. Under 80K miles leaves significantly more service life.
  2. Confirm the torque converter is included with automatics; most yards include it, but verify.
  3. Match engine and drivetrain exactly. A CVT from a base trim won't fit a manual sport trim.
  4. Ask if the unit was test-driven or fluid-inspected before the donor was dismantled.
  5. Plan a fluid and filter change at install. Old fluid in a good unit causes avoidable failures.
