Default How to tell CVT from 6 speed

We have a Ford 500 and I need to know how to tell the difference between the CVT and the 6 speed auto. I was told by Firestone, all 500's have CVT's and they want to charge me over $200 for a radiator flush for the CVT. We have a 2005 Ford 500 Limited.

All limited editions come with CVT. I think SE's and SEL's have it optional. I have an SE with CVT. Below will be a video of my 500 with the CVT, watch how the RPM never drops. It just stays at a constant high RPM.
