Determining transmission model?

1995 Ford E250 4.9L L6 cargo van here. The transmission pan has no labeling or other identification. Lot salesman told me it's a 3-speed, but this same guy also initially told me it was a V8 (it's a straight 6). Gear shifter dial has 'D', '1', '2'. I've been assuming it's a C6 3-speed transmission as this was the 3-speed for 1995 Econolines listed in the Ford factory manual. What would be the indications that this was actually a 4-speed/AOD/E4OD and not the C6? I really know nothing about transmissions, but I have to pick up some replacement bushing for the extension housing and need to be sure about this info.

thanks Jay

Uuumm, let's see... When you are driving, does it shift into a fourth forward gear?

I've tried to listen, but it shifts so smoothly I honestly can't tell. Anything in particular in the design appearance that would give it away?

There's always something on the shifter that gives them away as far as I know. If the D just looks exactly like the 1 and 2, then I guess it's a

3-speed. I'm not sure when they quit mak>

A 1995 would have an OD cancel button on the end of the shift lever if it was a 4 speed. If you have no button for OD cancel, you have a 3 speed transmission. Obviously, if you have a 3 speed in a 3/4 ton van, it's gonna be a C6.

I believe you would have either an E4OD 4 speed or a C6. I don't believe the 4R70W was used in the F250. If you have an OD cancel button in the end of the selector lever, it is likely an E4OD. If there is no OD cancel button, it is likely a C6 3 speed. It would not be an AOD as they were discontinued a couple of years earlier. You can look at pan pictures at the link below to figure out which one you have.
