Is it a 3speed transmission?
If its a 3speed transmission its a C6.
If its a 3speed with overdrive, its a C6AOD.
The Housing on the two look exactly the same, except your numbers.
If you don't know if its a 3speed or an OD lemme know and i can help ya more.

look on the door jam
there is a factory sticker with codes for your drive line and suspension
under trans if it has an "E"
you have an E4OD
there will also be a O.D. cancel button on the end of the shift lever
the only other auto that should be in it is a C6, don't know the code for it

The Code for a C6 tranny is "K"
If you've got a 4 speed its an E4, if you've got a 3sp Its a C6, Be careful though, you may have a 3spd with OD, that means its a c6aod.
This page right here may help you identify what you have in it.

If that doesn't help, You could also get underneath the truck, and you can see your shifter on the driver side of the tranny(also called the neutral switch), Put the Parkin brake on, Block the front, Jack up the rear end to have both tires of the ground, And have the truck in park, You can move the shifter on the side of the tranny through every gear, It will go from front to back the first thing your in is park, then reverse, then neutral, then go slow and count the gears you run through, if its 3 gears, then you've got a c6, 4 gears you've got either a c6aod or a E4, 5 gears you've got the E4OD.
Hope that doesn't confuse you.

The E4OD will have a pushbutton on the end of the shift lever in '93, and the shift pattern will be P R N (D) 2 1. The door code (under "TR" is 'E').
The C6 would have a shift pattern of P R N D 2 1.

i don't have the thing at the end of the shifter stick so i know i don't have overdrive. i just looked on my door and there is a "G" under transmission. and i have this shift pattern P R N D 2 1. Reason i am asking is cause i think i might need to replace my tranny.
Does anyone know anything about the grinding issue in 1st gear?

'G' is also a C6. I don't know why it would grind in 1st gear, unless something internal was broken or worn out. Have you checked your tranny fluid (engine hot, idling in park)?

Only if your truck is 4x4. If not, you need a tranny with the proper tailhousing, like this one:

The swap-out is pretty easy if you have semi-knowledgeable help. Even easier if you have a lift and tranny jack.
