There are thousands of good sources of info.
check to make sure it shifts okay (even when not driving) if it doesn't go into a gear at all, there's trouble. If the fluid has metal flakes in it, trouble, it the fluid is black, trouble.
guys put KLZET's against them and break rods before transmissions. I don't think you'll have too much of a problem. plus, if you're making enough power to break a transmission, a new one isn't out of your price range.

I blew 5th gear because I boosted 5th gear ALOT for over a year and a half. replaced the tranny for 150. Been good to me, but the gears are incredibly short for a turbo application.
