If your **** has a button on top and needs to be depressed to move the shifter, you have 700R4. If no **** and have 3 pedals, you have the 5 speed manual.

Yeah. Buck up though the '87 and up 700R4s are much better than the earlier ones due to the revised valvebody, and a host of other improvements. Actually, GM kept improving the trans year after year until it transitioned to the 4L60E, and then the 4L65E.
