How to tell if a stored transmission is still good? 200

The AW70 in my '92 wagon is dying; it has to fully warm up before it will shift out of first gear, and occasionally slips, especially in third gear, which is nearly non-existent. A fluid change with a bottle of Lucas Trans Fix did little to stop the slipping and hard shifts, so it will need to be replaced soon.

I have an AW70 from an '87 which has been stored somewhat poorly for six years, but it shifted perfectly when removed and only had about 150k miles on it. It is under an open sided lean-to with a rubber sheet thrown over it. Does anybody know how I can tell if it is still good, or if I have turned it into a massive door stop?

Thanks,
Sean
