Where the Jeep Wrangler transmission is listed
We found priced Jeep Wrangler transmission listings at 311 salvage yards across 34 states. California supplies the most, with 393 listings (25% of the total) from 42 yards. Location matters: yards in Mississippi ask a median $1,250, while Illinois yards ask $1,968, 57% 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 Jeep Wrangler transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Jeep Wrangler transmission are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 5 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 71% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,700.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L (AT, 8 speed), gasoline, lists at a $1,300 median, while 2.0L (AT, 8 speed), plug-in hybrid commands $2,098, a 61% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2020 units carry the lowest median at $1,470, while 2017 tops the table at $1,901. Parts from 2018–2026 are interchangeable, so if the 2020 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 9 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Jeep Wrangler sits 132% above the Ram 1500 ($700), 37% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 21% 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.
