My '99 T5 is ME7 and I defo have the AW50-42LE box with just the one 'W' button.
If your lever positions go : P R N D 3 L the box is a four speed 50-42, regardless of whether you have three 'S,W,E' buttons or just one 'W' button. Dexron 3 is fine in any 50-42 box.
If your lever positions go : P R N D 4 3 L the box is a five speed 55-50, in which the expensive JWS3309 spec fluid is required.
Simples!
