Window sticker says it. So does the invoice...

There is a sticker inside the glovebox but on mine all it says is something like 4SPD AUTO TRANS or something.

Most dealer's salespeople probably don't even know what 47RE is.

Re:47 or 48??

Thanks everyone, as it turns out it's a 47re. Had the dealer run the vin and it deffinitly is 47. Took it back to them and i gotta say at least they were honerable, didn't try to say they didntsay it !! From my research it appears they didnt start puttin 48s in until Jan or Feb build date. Well now i gotta o4 and man is it nice. Paid way tooooooo much for it but hey i really like it thanks again

That bites.....and I was just about to hit the post button on a lengthy post that told where all the trans ID tags were. This was much easier. Congrats on the 04
