Apparently the 45RFE transmission has a crossmember which is bent towards the rear of the vehicle like this [ and the 42RFE has a straight across cross member.

How do i adjust the transmission bands on a 08 jeep liberty
what makes you think it has bands?
no symptoms posted,
nor transmission option, nor engine.
looks like it has a 4speed automatic. in USA. (no diesel that year, in usa) so is gas engine. and 1 tranny for auto.
is this the 42RLE tranny>?
or 45RLE? or 545RFE

is the transmission SLIPPING , DO say what?
there are like 40 symptoms for any A/T box.
here is the exploded drawing of a 42RLE
no bands there, like in the olden days, of hyramatics.

http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/mm5/graphics/Catalog-pdf/42RLE.pdf

they sell the parts, so looking drawings there, is super easy
