Where the Mazda Miata transmission is listed
We found priced Mazda Miata transmission listings at 240 salvage yards across 36 states. California supplies the most, with 264 listings (14% of the total) from 24 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Mazda Miata transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Mazda Miata transmission are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 7 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $800, while 2024 tops the table at $1,622. Parts from 2016–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Mazda Miata sits 18% above the Ram 1500 ($705), 67% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,548), and 60% 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.
