Where the Nissan Altima transmission is listed
We found priced Nissan Altima transmission listings at 513 salvage yards across 46 states. California supplies the most, with 336 listings (18% of the total) from 53 yards. Location matters: yards in Arizona ask a median $440, while Pennsylvania yards ask $970, 120% 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 Nissan Altima transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Nissan Altima 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, (AT), FWD, lists at a $440 median, while (AT), AWD commands $530, a 20% 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 $495, while 2016 tops the table at $1,775. Parts from 2019–2025 are interchangeable, so if the 2020 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Nissan Altima sits 14% below the Ram 1500 ($700), 77% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 71% 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.
