Default How to tell if tranny is good or bad

Is there any way to tell without cracking it open?

Are the gears ''notchy'' when changed quickly, notably 3rd gear? If they are your Syncromesh is worn. A common fault with the eg tranny.

Don't kill anyone over it... yet. It's not that difficult to pull the trans apart and inspect the gears and synchos &lt;- always the best way to check!
