3spd without overdrive = C6
3spd with overdrive = AOD
4spd with overdrive = E4OD

Or you could look at the code on your door sticker, as aforementioned.

AOD and E4OD are both four speeds, with fourth being overdrive...

The AOD was gone after '93, replaced by the AODE or 4R70W. If you can't read the door plate for some reason, there are pics here, just scroll down a bit, then click on the other transmission sections to the left.
The C6 will look the smallest, 4R70W a bit longer in the main case, the E4OD is much larger.

Count the number of pan bolts that hold the transmission pan on.

20 bolts = E4OD
14 bolts = AOD/AODE/4R70W
17 bolts = C6
