Where the Ford Focus transmission is listed
We found priced Ford Focus transmission listings at 211 salvage yards across 28 states. California supplies the most, with 363 listings (48% of the total) from 70 yards. Location matters: yards in Texas ask a median $482, while Arizona yards ask $1,488, 209% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

| Arizona | 82 | 20 | $1,488+155% |

Market analysis
How much does a used Ford Focus transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Ford Focus 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 81% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $635.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, AT, 2.5L, cylinder deactivation, AWD, lists at a $450 median, while MT, 2.0L commands $1,645, a 266% 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 $500, while 2015 tops the table at $775. Parts from 2012–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ford Focus sits 17% below the Ram 1500 ($700), 77% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 72% 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.
