I had THOUGHT that you would have the the 44RE in a '99 with a 318 and that is also what this site
seems to think, but, I note that under your Dak and engine Rockauto is showing parts for both the 44 AND 46.
But here
you can compare the transmission pans for both transmissions, and that would be a way to verify for sure.
Also, there may be a sticker in your glovebox with the transmossion code? (Not the VIN.)
Oh, and your '99 is a Gen2, not a Gen3. (I only pointed that out because you posted in the Gen3 subforum. Not that it matters to me.)
