You bet! My late 300SDL transmission was still going at 264k+ so they can be long-lived.

While any vacuum gauge will work, the "MityVac" also has a hand pump and will function as a vacuum source. This can be invaluable to check leak-down of suspected items, such as vacuum modulator diaphragm on the transmission.
