Expect to pay roughly between $1,000 and $3,500 for the transmission itself, with installation bringing the total to about $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the option (used, rebuilt, remanufactured, or new OEM).
The 2000 Honda Accord, part of the sixth generation, offered both a four-speed automatic and a five-speed manual transmission across trims. Costs vary because you can buy used, rebuilt, remanufactured, or new units, and because labor rates differ by region and shop. This article breaks down typical price ranges and what drives them.
What affects price
Several factors drive the price of a 2000 Honda Accord transmission replacement, including the type of transmission, its condition, and the source.
- Transmission type (manual vs automatic)
- Condition and source (used, rebuilt, remanufactured, or new OEM)
- Vehicle trim, engine, and compatibility
- Warranty terms and core charges
- Part availability for an older model
Prices vary by region and shop, so quotes can differ widely even for the same unit.
Cost options

Parts choices and price ranges
- Used or salvaged transmission (manual or automatic): about $600–$1,200
- Rebuilt/reconditioned transmission (usually auto): about $1,000–$1,800
- Remanufactured transmission (usually auto): about $1,500–$2,400
- New OEM transmission (usually auto): about $2,000–$3,500

Summary
Replacing a transmission on a 2000 Honda Accord can range widely in cost. The cheapest option is a used transmission, but it carries more risk, while rebuilt and remanufactured units offer better reliability at a higher price. A brand-new OEM transmission is the most expensive route but guarantees the latest specs for your model. Always obtain multiple quotes, confirm compatibility with your exact trim and engine, and check warranties and core charges before committing. Labor costs will typically make up a significant portion of the final installed price.
