Where the Subaru WRX transmission is listed
We found priced Subaru WRX transmission listings at 534 salvage yards across 47 states. Michigan supplies the most, with 403 listings (8% of the total) from 45 yards. Location matters: yards in California ask a median $1,320, while Pennsylvania yards ask $1,728, 31% 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 Subaru WRX transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Subaru WRX 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. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 28% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $1,695.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, AT (CVT), ID TR690G6BCA, lists at a $1,633 median, while AT (CVT), ID TR690S6BCA commands $2,087, a 28% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2021 units carry the lowest median at $1,175, while 2024 tops the table at $1,723. Parts from 2018–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2021 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru WRX sits 132% above the Ram 1500 ($705), 36% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,548), and 21% 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.
