When you deal with junkyards I've found there are two types. First is a U-Pull it place. You will need all of your hand tools and they won't allow compressors, torches or anything that makes the job easier. Second are salvage yards that will pull the parts for you. Though they save you the hassle of pulling the part yourself, they also just get the **** thing out, and aren't always very careful or sensitive with delicate parts. The other thing you should check on the transmission is the clutch fork. If its at all looking worn or funky walk away from the transmission. The clutch fork costs all of 5-10 bucks but you have to get the transmission pulled apart to replace it, that costs $$. Don't forget to pull the shift linkage too,.
