I think you are going to find that spinning the transmission on a work bench is not going to tell you much. When I rebuild a transmission, I shift the gears into each position by hand and turn the input shaft to see if it works properly. This only tells you that you put it together correctly. What you really want to know is if the transission is quiet (or noisy) and does it not pop out of gear. The only true test is when it is installed in a car and is out on the road under a load. If you can climb a steep grade in second gear with the transmission not screaming at you and it does not pop out of gear, it passes the test.
