3 is the Zetec engine code
P is the SPI engine code
I bought a red car, because everyone knows red is the fastest.

Nothing to do with your transmission ... more specifically the eighth position in your VIN, which you can find on your dash and a number of other places on your car, indicates the type of engine that your car was built with ..
If the 8th character in your VIN is a "3" then your car has the 2.0 litre DOHC Zetec engine ... if the 8th character is a "P" then you have the 2.0 litre SPI engine.
