Have a look on the firewall, what does it say the trans/axel is? It may have been converted to manual at some stage.

Is it on the speedo?
if it so it had either speedo change or manual conversion.
Check the build plate under trans:
if it says C52 then it is came with manual and dash is not orginal
on other hand if says A240E (or something like that - can't remember exactly) then it came with auto but had manual transplants later on.

ECT-s is electronically controlled transmission system or something like that.

Found on Autos. What it does is basically make the car shift later(higher rpm). Also have come across mentions of it making a car shift down quicker when there is load etc

./sorry repost.already answered above, so yea auto conversion.
