Is there anything to check on trans that is out of car, probably no fluid inside? I might have a chance to choose from few transes and I would like to get the best one(s).

What are you planning on doing with it - drop it and drive - or rebuild?

How much $$ are you talking...A rebuilt TH400 shouldn't be more than 1200+ total depending on the work needed and who does it.

It's hard to do much of anything but a cursory visual inspection without tearing the thing apart.

If there is fluid or remants of fluid - smell it to see if it's got any hint of being burnt...you'll know if it is!

Make sure the case isn't cracked as it won't be worth rebuilding (problem I had with my old one)

I dont really know of anything else other than being able to drive it!

You could take the pan off and look at the residue in the pan and filter. Smell the fluid as suggested.

We are talking about prices like 20-30$ each. Of course I wouldn't just drop it in, there must be a reason why they are lying around. Just that some might be better than others.

If the cases look good - for that price I'd pick them all up...a good TH400 case is worth more than that...

Might be that parts are hard to obtain in your country.
