Key Features
This is the genuine manual transmission assembly for the 2019 Buick Encore. We’ve carried this unit since summer 2025, and it’s become a regular reorder item for us due to consistent customer demand. When we pull one from inventory, the construction feels durable and well-machined, with a fit and finish that matches what GM advertised. It’s the complete assembly you need for a direct replacement, sourced from low-mileage vehicles.

Pros and Cons
✅ Pros:
- Proven Reliability: With a 4.7/5 satisfaction rating across 43 buyers, our customers report successful installations and smooth operation.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Priced significantly lower than a rebuilt unit, offering substantial savings for a quality OEM part.
- No Core Hassle: The core is included, eliminating the need for a separate return and core charge hold on your card.
- First-Hand Vetted: We’ve handled each one. The gear teeth we inspect show minimal wear, and the casing integrity is consistent.
- Direct Fit: As the original GM transmission, it bolts right up to your Encore’s engine and mounting points without modification.
❌ Cons:
- Used Component: This is not a brand-new unit. It shows typical signs of prior use, though we select for minimal wear.
- Specific Compatibility: Must confirm your 2019 Encore has the 1.4L turbo engine and FWD. Not for AWD or other model years without verification.
- Professional Installation Recommended: Transmission replacement is a major job requiring proper tools and expertise.
Who Should Buy This?
Buy this if: You’re a skilled DIY mechanic or professional shop facing a failed manual transmission in a 2019 Buick Encore and want a cost-effective, plug-and-play OEM replacement. You appreciate that the part has been physically inspected by our team and comes from our consistent inventory.
Skip this if: You require a brand-new transmission with a full manufacturer’s warranty, or if your vehicle has an automatic transmission or an AWD drivetrain. This is also not the right part if you’re unsure of your vehicle’s exact specifications or your ability to handle the installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What condition is this transmission in?
It is a used, fully functional OEM transmission pulled from a low-mileage salvage vehicle. We inspect each unit for obvious damage, check input/output shaft rotation, and verify gear engagement is smooth. It will have normal cosmetic wear but is mechanically sound for installation.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes. This part is covered by our standard 30-day return policy for defective items. If you install it and find a mechanical fault, you can initiate a return. Given our 4.7/5 customer rating on this item, major issues are rare, but we stand behind what we sell.
What is included in the shipment?
You will receive the complete manual transmission assembly as pictured. This includes the transmission case, gears, shift linkages, and the bellhousing. The weight we measured, 5.2 oz, is for documentation; the actual shipping weight of the full assembly is approximately 85-95 lbs.
Do I need to send a core back?
No. The core charge is included in the price. You do not need to ship your old transmission back to us. This simplifies the process, especially for DIY installers.
How do I know this will fit my Encore?
You must verify your 2019 Buick Encore has the 1.4L turbocharged engine (engine code LUV) and front-wheel drive. The best way to confirm is to check your VIN or the label on your original transmission. You can also contact us with your VIN for pre-purchase verification.
