Well, unless you actually take it out and look, it's gonna be a bit difficult to tell.

Does the manual have an inspection plate in the bell housing?

If it does, you could just pop the plate and take a look.

Not sure if the inspection cover will give you a good enough view. If ya really want to know you could pull the starter and look in there with a mirror.

only way to truly tell is either what Jake said, or pull the tranny. that will realy tell you if you have a DD.

I have upgraded the hydraulics on my yoda, and the pedal pressure is still no where near what stock is on the ram. and that is with a higher plate load clutch for the yoda.
