That's more than a fair price if it is a working trans.

You can manually shift the levers to test the forward three gears and reverse. To bench test the OD, you would either have to activate the solenoid with a battery, or remove the solenoid and manually activate the OD. If you turn the input shaft with a pliers/vice grip, you can count the revolutions on the output shaft to see the gears working.

Is the R11 the same length as your transmission?
