The question is why does your present trans have rust in it. Only reason I can think of is that the cooler in the radiator is/was leaking water into the trans. I bought a car once that had had that problem and it was a disaster. The trans finally had to be rebuilt, the water/antifreeze made the seals swell and it would stop shifting after a short operating time each day. So you need to find out how the rust got there. without knowing the mileage on the used trans, it is hard to tell how long it will run. they normally have a finite life, shed lining material slowly over their life and then finally quit. Used trans are a gamble.
