Tranny doesn't care what clutch it has, they all have the same splines.

The slave that matches with your master (IOW, one for your year truck, they fit both the Mitsu or the Mazda, as well as with the 2.9 or 4.0 clutch).

Perfect opportunity is right now for the 4.0L clutch upgrade... Not sure why you want to pass that up, the 4.0L clutch is just sssooooooooooo much better, way better pedal feel, not so sensitive, you can actually modulate it much easier (forget the fact it simply grips better).
I did the swap on mine, I can't recommend it enough. Well worth it.
