Give it an MRI![8D][8D][8D][8D][8D]

An MRI would just be expensive - mostly because once you got the tranny in the room it would smash itself into the magnet and they'd have to discharge it to get it back off. A fluoroscopy or really tiny endoscope might work though.

lol, no real way to tell if its been fully rebuilt w/o taking it apart. you can call the shop, and tell them the invoice number and see when they had it rebuilt

I'm just worried because I can't see where he lives. As funny as it would be, I don't want to lose my weekend because some fool stuck an AOD to an MRI machine at my hospital. I've seen them have to discharge the magnet because they stuck because they stuck wheelchairs and IV poles to them. At one facility they found out that those little black plastic Bic pens had just enough metal in the tip that you could let them go in the room and it would shoot through the center of the magnet and eventually hang in mid-air in the middle.

Take the oil pan off the tranny, it will be very obvious its been rebuilt, the gasket manufacturer's name will stick out like a sore thumb in bright white on the valve body gaskets, typically lentech
