Where the Ford Mustang transmission is listed
We found priced Ford Mustang transmission listings at 703 salvage yards across 46 states. Texas supplies the most, with 466 listings (12% of the total) from 56 yards. Location matters: yards in Georgia ask a median $899, while Missouri yards ask $2,900, 223% 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 Mustang transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Ford Mustang 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 125% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,114.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $850, while 2024 tops the table at $2,465. Parts from 2014–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 9 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ford Mustang sits 69% above the Ram 1500 ($700), 54% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 42% 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.
