These vehicles mostly always used the GM 4L60E transmission.

Due to the clearance (or lack thereof) between the firewall and the engine, the left-side of the body must be raised to remove the upper engine to transmission bolts. If you are intent on performing the work yourself, obtain a Chilton or Haynes manual - the entire proceedure is outlined.
Also, although I have not used them yet, this site
http://www.4l60-e.com/ appears to have some good pricing on quality rebuilt 4L60E transmissions.
