Post photos. Seeing the pan will tell you which one you have.
I think it is a 42re the problem I'm having is I'm changing the tail shaft from the 42re onto A500 trans the bolt pattern is the same and when I get it pushed almost all the way dn it stops is their a trick on doing it thanks
Tail shaft housing will swap between these unless one is an "RH" and the other is "RE"
There are 2 tubes coming out of the older RH that the RE doesn't have. The RE may have plugs in the back of the front case where those lines "for the governor) would go. And no it's not just pulling those plugs of there to make it work. The valve bodies are different between the 2 versions.

The one that's in the truck has a one tube and I believe it's for shifting the one that's in the truck when I take off I have to rev the engine for it to go into second and the same to go into 3rd it won't go into 4th. I've changed the filter,fluid, solonids,governor, still doing the same talked to a mechanic he said said swap out tail shaft.went out found the cheapest transmission I could find (used) it's a A500 trans
