Where the Nissan Pathfinder transmission is listed
We found priced Nissan Pathfinder transmission listings at 486 salvage yards across 45 states. California supplies the most, with 314 listings (12% of the total) from 70 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Nissan Pathfinder transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Nissan Pathfinder transmission are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 8 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 4% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,920.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (AT), RWD, 3.6L, 5 speed (W5A580), lists at a $600 median, while (AT), RWD, 6.2L (8 speed) commands $4,500, a 650% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2026 units carry the lowest median at $950, while 2025 tops the table at $2,648. Parts from 2011–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2026 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 13 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Nissan Pathfinder sits 143% above the Ram 1500 ($700), 34% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 17% 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.
