GM had some junk in there for many years... Just look at the early years of the THM440-T4... They were a nightmare in the making.. They were pretty decent by 90-93.. I still think the 89 was the best overall 440-T4 they made.. But they all had their issues...
I was thinking the good one were the old non lockup 350 and 400 units.... These were some of the best GM transmissions I have ever seen...
I just wishied I knew how to rebuild the GM THM 350-400'* 700R4 and the THM440-T4( 4T60 ) and the 4T60-E... I'll bet the first few would be failures...
Now as for the bolt patterns, is the 2004R the only one that will bolt to the 3800 block?
I have never really paid close attention to the 60* V6, 3800, and checy or Olds V8'* as far as the tranny bolt pattern is concerned...

Fwd and RWD 3.8'* do not share the same bell housing, a possibility might be to use a newer Camaro Borg Warner T5 5speed standard the 96 up Camaro came with the 3800 series II and the T5 tranny. Only problem with using the 3800SC and a RWD car is the throttle body would be into the fire wall let alone the breather ducting and air filter. Dan
