how much does replacing the transmission cost? like refurbished / new?

aslse kinda randowm but how about brakes all around? and what about shocks? winter has taken a toll on my car and i'd like to know aruond how much i'll be paying, i'm not sure on brands and if's or what's but its a 2001 impala,and ofcourse i wont get cheap stuff, something mid-range that wont cost a brick of gold either, thanks for your help.
If you go to places like MSNautos, or consumer guide automotive you could get an idea for how much it will cost to get a new stuff put in. To get used, count on it being a fair bit less.
