I thought the 3.0L got the 3-speed and 3.3L got the 4-speed?

89-91/92ish got the 4spd

93-95 was the A670/3spd, although I've seen plenty of older AA's with the 3spd before in the yard. probably a special order

yes the 3.3/3.8 always got the 4spd, but AA bodys never had the 3.3

uhhh, most 3.0's have a604's.
Most AA 3.0's have 604's

You just gotta look for the kickdown linkage. There is no way to tell what trans it has by the year because the a604 was a factory option that most cars were built with.

1989-1991, if it has the V6, it has the A604. Starting in 1992 the A670 was available along with the A604. 1995 the A604 went away in favor of the A670 being the only transmission option for the 95' V6 AA body cars.

Simple. Look at the shift indicator. If it says PRND21, 3 speed. If it says PRND3L or PRN[D]DL, 4 speed.

just ask the seller if there is a circle around the D, my 90 I got has a 4spd, I did a double take driving it home cause I had another 90 that had a 3spd. Better hwy mileage for me!

I think the a670 in the 3.0 is lock up too so its not horrible on mileage.

its not horrible, its just better than 2600rpm on the hwy for a 3spd compared to like 2k on a 4spd, the lock up drops it like 300
