Transfiguration means a change that gives a different appearance altogether. For example, the change into a radiant form or face, giving the appearance of a radiating beauty.
Transmutation means a more radical shift within, such as an awakening to the Divine peace and joy and love or bhakti and wisdom. It generally implies a short-lived shift.
Transformation is a complete and permanent change, as in the evolution into a new species or sub-species
