About all you can do is look the exterior over and make sure there is no damage. You can also smell the Transmission Fluid. If it smells burnt or otherwise has a very foul odor, leave that transmission alone. If the transmission looks good, fluid is clean with no foul odor, and comes out of a car with low mileage, it is more than likely good. Try to know the mileage of the vehicle the transmission is removed from and how severe the accident was. Also make sure they salvage yard gives you a warranty. It is always a gamble buying a used tranny, but the savings can be good. Check prices before buying used. Sometimes you are better off buying rebuilt or new.
