Can You Tell Transmission By The Vin Number?

[Moviequill]

Hey gang, just wondering if you can tell if a NB has a manual or automatic tranny by the VIN?

Example: 3VWPW31C26M420501

I am searching around websites and not all of them tell you and I don't want to call each one/email if I can narrow it down myself
