I think it depends on what kind of defects that you think you are looking for. Pulling the tail cone will show you first/reverse. Chances are, your syncro is bad, or the dogteeth have seen better days. But if you are suspecting any other issues like other sycros or problems with 2-5, you will need to slide out the gear stack. Again, not a big issues but it is a little more involved.

Look at some of the classic threads for lots of great pictures. My first experience as a 'novice' was completely dismantling a spare transmission so I could see how it worked. Then I rebuilt my good transmission, and with the help of some of the classic threads, it turned out great.
