Can I determine from the access panel what flywheel/clutch is in my truck? More specific the difference between dual mass and single?

The DMFW has the dampening springs in the flywheel itself (unlike a normal SMFW that has the dampening springs in the clutch disk). The DMFW will also have two masses that can be counter-rotated against each other, but only for about 5/8" or so (measured at the outer rim. Cheers!

I will check this tonight. Truck is kinda jerking (especially backing into the driveway which is a small incline) sounds like everything under the truck is banging around and if I don't press the clutch back in seems like it would thrash the truck around pretty good. It does it if starting in 2nd gear for example on a slight inclilne, feels like the truck isn't just hooking up.. Hard to explain..

truck seems alot better in forward gears, but still if I let off the pedal on the freeway for example, it clunks and jolts the truck.. anyone ever had a broken motor mount?
