It came from the factory with a 700R4, but whether its been replaced or not we cant tell.

Re: how do i know what tranny i have?

If the pan is square/rectangular it is mostly likely still the 700r4. If there is a slash cut at one corner, it could be a few different trannys like a turbo350 or 200r4? The link above should help you just fine.
