I never bothered looking at any with no transmission history/paper work to prove. It is indeed a ticking time bomb
it is fortunate yours was rebuilt, so you at least you reset the clock on borrowed time. i noticed that the seller changed the trans fluid but dosen't say much else. i don't know if that means the seller just went and changed all the fluids to make it appear nice upon sales inspection, or it was an attempt to buy more time..
