Determine if my car was auto or manual?

Anyone have a suggestions how to go about this? I've been trying to use vin decoders and it doesn't seem to work. Anyone know if I can look around the bay for anything visual that may tip me off?

Car is a 89 240

Edit: Did more research on the computer and not on my phone and found the correct results.

It's not in the VIN, but it is in the ID plate. It's the silver plate on the firewall under the hood. Third line down "Model," the code is broken up like this:

sample:
12345--67 (location)
RMLKS13FU (data)

1: R = Fastback, nothing = Coupe
2: M = KA24DE engine. SOHCs have a different letter
3: L = Left hand drive, R = RHD
4: K = HICAS, nothing = non-HICAS
5: S13 = Chassis
6: F = Manual, A = Automatic
7: U = 49 State, V = California, N = Canada
