You can spin the input shaft and feel for roughness. If you know what you are feeling, you can usually feel if a gear has a broken tooth on it. Other indicators are excessive play in and out on the input shaft when pulling on it.

I just picked up a T56 today. I just made sure it would go into all gears and the input shaft spun smoothly in each. Didn't try pulling it in or out though. I was told it just pops out of 2nd so when I have it inspected we'll see if there's anything major wrong beyond that. For a 30k mile trans I think I got a good deal if that's all that's wrong.
