Where the Kia Telluride transmission is listed
We found priced Kia Telluride transmission listings at 59 salvage yards across 5 states. California supplies the most, with 335 listings (56% of the total) from 26 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Kia Telluride transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Kia Telluride 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 $1,048.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (AT), FWD, lists at a $793 median, while (AT), AWD commands $898, a 13% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $798, while 2021 tops the table at $1,061. Parts from 2020–2025 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Kia Telluride sits 37% above the Ram 1500 ($699), 63% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 53% 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.
