testing an overdrive

Having aquired a supposedly rebuilt overdrive
transmission, I thought it would be a good idea to
test it before installing in the car. Turning the
input shaft by hand, all for forward gears and reverse
seem to be working as expected. An electrical test of
the two switches revealed that the o/d isolator is not
closing.

My question: is is possible to bench-test the
operation of the overdrive? Does the box have to be
turning at some sort of speed before it will operate?

Thanks in advance,
