Where the Land Rover Defender transmission is listed
We found priced Land Rover Defender transmission listings at 76 salvage yards across 28 states. Florida supplies the most, with 63 listings (23% of the total) from 11 yards. Location matters: yards in Michigan ask a median $1,250, while Texas yards ask $3,231, 158% 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 Land Rover Defender transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Land Rover Defender transmission are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 9 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 5% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $2,353.
Model year matters too: 2020 units carry the lowest median at $1,950, while 2024 tops the table at $3,135. Parts from 2020–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2020 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Land Rover Defender sits 221% above the Ram 1500 ($705), 11% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,548), and 10% above 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.
