That's how i do it. Take car to the lift and see under for any leaks. Check the level of oil/color. Drive the car slowly and see the gear changing. Take car on highway and push it. Car should change through all 5 or 4 gears(depends how many gears that car has). Also check the gear changing response, Car should not jerk. On highway while passing other car or pushing on pedal car should drop to 3 or 4th gear and then back to 5th. On highway cruising(120km) RPM should not cross 4 and should stay around 2-3 range.
