Key Considerations When Comparing

If cost is your primary concern, a quality used auto part transmission is often the best choice.

Vehicle’s Age & Value

Investing in a new transmission might not be economically sensible for older vehicles or those with lower market value.

Intended Lifespan

If you plan to keep your vehicle running for many more years, a new or expertly rebuilt transmission might offer long-term peace of mind. A quality used transmission is an excellent investment for a few more years of reliable service.

Understanding Used Transmission Prices

Used transmission prices vary widely depending on several factors.

Make, Model & Year

Transmissions for common vehicles tend to be more readily available and thus may have lower prices. Luxury or rare models command higher prices.

Automatic vs Manual

Due to simpler mechanisms, manual transmissions are often less expensive than their automatic counterparts.

Condition

As assessed by the supplier's inspection, the overall transmission condition plays a significant role.

Warranty

Transmissions backed by a strong warranty might have a slightly higher initial cost, but this investment provides invaluable protection and peace of mind.

Mileage

Lower mileage transmissions typically fetch higher prices as they generally have less wear and tear.
