That should be the old conventional 42RE with the 3.9L or the 42RLE with the 3.7L.
The 42RLE was related to the LH transaxle which was based on the 41TE.

The '2' in the 42RLE was a bump up in torque capacity. It was closer to the LH transaxle (42LE) which was a step higher in torque rating than the 41TE.
The 'R' designated it as RWD.
It was a fairly good transmission and could handle the torque of the 3.7L. The guts were mostly the same as the transverse/longitudinal transaxles, but put into a RWD/4WD housing.
It cut the development time on a rear-drive fully electronic transmission and saved the company lots of money.

They did OK. I did see some solenoid bracket screws rip out of the aluminum valve body a couple of times and you do want to use nothing but ATF+4 in these transmissions. Periodic filter and fluid maintenance is a good service. The TCM may have had a software update. Clutch and seal-wise, they were durable.
