If you  haven't already, you might first change the fluid and replace the 
vacuum  hoses.  PGs don't really deteriorate much from sitting, so that isn't 
 much of a factor.

Sorry I'm coming in late on this, but I agree completely with Bryan based  
on my experience.  Decades ago I wouild just top off the tranny, replace  
the hoses and go.  Now I would drop the pan to clean it and check for metal  
shavings or other debris--but then, unless there was a lot of metal I would 
just  replace the gasket, fluid, hoses and go.  I have one that has about 
200k  that was severely overloaded once (overheated the fluid) and, after a 
fluid  change still works.
