its a great tranny if your willing to spend the money on adapters to run the gear drive tcase. the r150 is the strongest, besides the r151. the g58 and w56 which are the other 2 trannyies that came with the 3rd gens are 4cyl tranny's. the r150 is built just like the r151(don't quote me on that). it is made to handle the higher torque and hp of the v6 vs. the 4cyl. only problem is the cost of running it in a 4cyl with the gear drive, which really isn't too bad if your looking for the extra beef.
