It is classified as a four speed.

Only later did the manufacturers confuse things by calling transmissions with five speeds-- four speeds with overdrive (My 5 speed 92 F150) or the four speeds with overdrive from the 70s--that were four speeds with a fourth gear that was overdrive.

Came across this short article some time back, probably of little importance but may find interesting. Have a T18 and although considered a 4 speed, for me it's a 3 speed with a compound low because rarely if ever use the first gear.
