You won't know till you hook it up and put pressure on the seals. If it's the one that goes up inbetween the engine and the tranny and you have to pull the tranny to change it, I would get a new one, even if it turns out to be good.

If it's the type that mounts externally, then you can take a chance, since it's easier to change out later.
