Where the Kia Soul transmission is listed
We found priced Kia Soul transmission listings at 583 salvage yards across 46 states. California supplies the most, with 601 listings (19% of the total) from 71 yards. Location matters: yards in Florida ask a median $253, while Michigan yards ask $1,114, 340% 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 Kia Soul transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Kia Soul 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.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, electric model (EV), lists at a $1,060 median, while gasoline model (CVT) commands $1,120, a 6% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $284, while 2022 tops the table at $1,235. Parts from 2014–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Kia Soul sits 7% above the Ram 1500 ($700), 71% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 64% 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.
