If I get what you are saying is that your one truck has a hydralic clutch and the other ddoesn't. Unless your bolt pattern is different for the transmission you should n't hav to change anything. Also yor input shaft should be the same diameter and have the same teeth, in otherwords coarse or fine spline.
