ISO Correct clutch kit

I have an 88 f150, manual 4 speed with overdrive, when I'm selecting a clutch kit on rock auto do I need a 5 speed clutch kit or 4 speed clutch kit? I've heard that the overdrive is technically a 5th gear so I am unsure which one I need.

A picture of the door tag with the transmission code would be a help so we know which transmission you have.

I agree. I did not think the overdrive 4 speed was available that year. I thought that ended in the previous generation of trucks.

If it's a separate overdrive, (A-A, Gearvendors, etc)
you'll need a 4- speed application clutch.

I don't know about the T18, but the M5 and ZF5 both have tags on the boxes that tell you what they are.

Every forward gear is counted.

This will work for you. I would also recommend a new flywheel. I put this kit in my 95 and it works great
