Where the Toyota Highlander transmission is listed
We found priced Toyota Highlander transmission listings at 665 salvage yards across 48 states. Texas supplies the most, with 344 listings (12% of the total) from 60 yards. Location matters: yards in California ask a median $1,940, while New York yards ask $4,342, 124% 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 Toyota Highlander transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Toyota Highlander 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 246% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $3,268.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (AT), 2.5L (Hybrid), lists at a $2,938 median, while (AT), 2.4L, AWD commands $3,500, a 19% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2024 units carry the lowest median at $815, while 2022 tops the table at $4,000. Parts from 2017–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2024 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Toyota Highlander sits 358% above the Ram 1500 ($699), 25% above the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), and 55% 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.
