Where the Ford Escape transmission is listed
We found priced Ford Escape transmission listings at 895 salvage yards across 48 states. Illinois supplies the most, with 759 listings (11% of the total) from 42 yards. Location matters: yards in Ohio ask a median $1,758, while California yards ask $2,200, 25% 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 Ford Escape transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Ford Escape 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 50% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $2,000.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (AT), gasoline, 1.5L, FWD, lists at a $1,687 median, while (AT), gasoline, 1.5L, AWD, ID LX6P-7000-DB commands $3,605, a 114% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $1,717, while 2022 tops the table at $2,294. Parts from 2016–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ford Escape sits 186% above the Ram 1500 ($700), 22% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 3% 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.
