M41 checkup

I have acquired a J-type M41 to upgrade my 142 with M40. The M41 is complete, sealed and fluids are clear but is in unknown condition.

How should I proceed to confirm transmission and OD health before doing the swap? Should I preemptively replace seals/gaskets or other wear items?

The M41 has the shifter relocation tunnel but I want to keep the original 142 funky/cool long shifter. Any caveats for this plan?

TIA,
Craig in SD, CA
