Never buy unless you know the return policy.
Dirty rat ba??a?ds at an automotive salvage yard basically took 250 bucks from me. I asked if i could return the trans if it did'nt work. She said you have 5 days to install it to be sure it works. Turns out, they want the car towed there to the junk yard, with the defective trans installed so they can confirm it's defective, which would cost me over 100 bucks for the towing fee alone. I could go on and on with this story, but i'm not. I figured it's a stripped differential or something. The speedometer goes up like it should through all the gears with no go. I'm just going to have to learn how to fix a manual trans or take a chance on getting another messed up one. I should have all the parts i need between the two that i now have to make one of them work. Now i'm wondering if it'd be easier to fix one that won't go in first or one that seems to have a stripped differential. Moral of the story, never buy something that you don't know if it works or not, until you know the return policy word for word.

if the speedometer is working, then the differential is turning - 2 possibilities - broken pinion gear shaft or your axles aren't completely locked into place
