Hi everyone, i have a lot of confusion about whether my truck i just bought is a 4 speed with overdrive or a 5 speed. I am replacing the clutch and i bought a kit that supposedly "matched" my make and model with a 11'' disc. My friend has the exact same truck as me and calls his a 4 speed with overdrive, and from what I hear it does matter whether you have a 10" or 11" disc. My shift *** is oem and has the 1-5, but is 5 overdrive? Please help solve my confusion on this topic. Thanks!

Whats the date on the sticker in the jam when the truck was made?
I bought a parts truck for the transmission it is 1thr 4 with D being
Overdrive. The date on the truck was 2/89 i have a buddy thats got a
10/89 and hes got 1thr5 its the same transmission. 89 thr 91 is the same
92 thr 96 is the same.the clutches the 11" is for pulling more weight.

I misspoke. I looked again today and it actually is a 4 speed with overdrive. http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-E-HD-11-CL...5caaf5&vxp=mtr
This is the clutch kit I bought. Do you know if an 11" disc will work?
