You also have to understand that other than F-body cars, the only choices for a newer RWD tranny is from a truck.
Best "newer" tranny? 6L80E. I doubt it would fit into a third gen. Adapting a 4L80E is hard enough and it's a big heavy tranny not really required for a lightweight car.
An all round strong tranny that's a relatively easy swap would be a TH400. If you really think you need an OD, pick up a 200-4R
