Buying a trans. from a salvage yard?

What should one look out for when buying a manual transmission from a salvage yard? Most salvage yards are honest and will tell you if it is in working condition or not. Any visible checks to see if its good or not? Also, since the transmission has been sitting for awhile, is there anything you have to do to "prep" it. Of course, new trans. fluid and filter is a must. Anything else? Would you recommend buying a new clutch kit?

Thanks.
