OK, I'm confused. . .

I'm trying to figure out which TSB's I need to bring to the dealer for my 07 Camry XLE V6.

I have it listed on my receipt from the dealer that I have a 5 speed A/T. However when I check my VIN, I've determined that I have the 2GRFE engine which corresponds to the 6 speed A/T. Here is my VIN: 4T1BK46K97U019647.

Am I correct? I guess I better check the VIN that's on my car to verify that I got the right one.

Thanks in advance.

If you have a V6, then you have the 2GRFE 6 speed automatic transmission.

Assuming you have the stock exhaust system... Do you have 2 tail pipes or 1 coming out of your back bumper? V6 (6 speed A/T) has 2, I4 (5 speed A/T) has 1.

I'm confused as to why you can't write a more descriptive title.

If you have the 6 speed you can get the TSB here...

The service folks aren't interested in seeing the TSB's. They have already seen them. They are interested in fixing your car if it has a problem. They will ask you to describe the problem. It's worthwhile to look at the TSB's so you can compare your car's real world performance, but if you do not know if your car is 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder, well.......

Well, I think I've clearly stated my problem above. The DEALER put one thing on my invoice and then I decifered something completely different from my VIN. So who has the problem? My car didn't come with a sticker on the window. Is that my problem too? My question was why my dealer would think that I have a 5 speed A/T when in fact, I have a 6 speed A/T. If I have a five or six speed A/T, that makes a difference when I ask them to fix something on my car, right? Would I look like the idiot if I brought my car in for service telling them I have a problem on my 5 speed when I don't have a 5 speed? Would they take me seriously from then on? I think not. I believe it is best to be prepared and well informed before going in there and risking my own credibility.

If you've read the threads about this problem (as I have over the past few days), you would see that some people are experiencing resistence from their service departments. I would like to be totally prepared for all problems and then be happily surprised when I bring my car in for service tomorrow.
