Embarassed to ask.

I was looking at the installation instructions for a B&M Console Megashifter to fit my car and still look good. I have NO IDEA what kind of Transmission is in my car. Is it a TH-350 or am I wrong?
I know it seems like a dumb question but any help would be appreciated. Also if anyone has done this before could you tell me how easy it would be to put one in and whether it looks good in the car.
Thanks in advance guys

If it was factory equipped w/ an auto trans, it left with a TH700-R4.

On an almost 20 year old car, anything goes...could have been swapped by a previous owner.

You can ID the trans type by crawling under and looking at the pan shape.

According to the previous owner it is completely stock and was only owned by one other person, which was the previous owners brother.
