well if its an 86 TPI it should be a 700R4 auto. Decode your VIN and check your RPO codes.

As far as being rebuilt? You might want to look and see if it has a tag on it, some shops tag the pan. You could maybe check to see if the tranny mount has been replaced. Other than that I think the only way is to crack it open.
