If there is no sticker then you can find the gear ratios then use the gear ratio master list in the FAQ to determine the transmission.

Or you could just tell us the swap and we could probably tell you what trans it is.

I'd like to help, but I don't speak Ghetto Texting.

Where in that write up does it say you have to take anything apart? Or are you just that lazy because following that write up is the ONLY way you'll know.

All you need is the transmission out of the car which judging by your first post it is.
