Pull-a-part opinions needed

I have a lowrider Ford Ranger and the 5 spd tranny I put in it was from a junk yard and it was fine but theres no telling what kind of driver drove it, so its all up to what you feel like doing. It would really suck if you pulled it, swaped it, and come to find that the tranny has a blown gear. When I converted my Ranger from a auto to a 5 spd I used the master cylinder but purchased new all other clutch parts.

As for the turbo parts if there there, try and go for it. I just got a steal on a lot of turbo parts from a local shop, and they were all from a junk yard turbo supra, but I was lucky to get one with almost no shaft play or rotation play. If you pull it, check it and see if the turbo or turbos have any shaft play. Good luck.
