The bezel around the shifter indicates 4 speeds, 1st., 2nd., 3rd., 4th. and then D. 4th. and D are on the same gate. Any transmission information would be appreciated. Thanks Kirk T
Its a 5 speed automatic.

the 4 markers are for "holding" the transmission in a certain gear - obviously you would never want to hold the transmission in highest gear thats why there is no 5 mark.
