Ask the seller how often he changed the fluid and filter. Also something to keep in mind would be the B2 piston, which has a tendency to fail (lots of info on here about it) and if it has already been replaced with a new unit. As PawoSD said, the transmissions last as long as the engines if properly maintained. Asking for service history is always a good idea.
