The transmission type is 5R55S. This is the most common but there can be some others. Really need the code off of old converter to properly identify. Also the converter to flex plate requires an alignment fixture. Can roll the dice and do it without the fixture, still a chance of damage to transmission, converter or both if not installed correctly. Are you replacing the converter for a reason?

Pulled my engine, reinstalled it after chains, there's no alignment fixture. You line up the holes to the flexplate and bolt it together. 50k miles since, no issues.
