No clutch alignment tool? No problem

What do you do when your clutch kit doesn’t include a clutch alignment tool? Grab some sockets and make one!

    use your eyeball if you have no tool. get the splines centered on the bearing. its easier with a bearing as a bushing doesnt have seals and the center to line up on. Do NOT pull it in with the bolt, do it by hand.

    Actually I was born in Arkansas, unfortunately raised and still live in California. This worked on the little 3cylinder Mitsubishi mini truck, but I’ve done this on countless manual transmissions from 4 cylinder beaters to high end Porsche and Lamborghinis- I now have decent tooling for my lathe so next time I’ll likely start with a chunk of steel or aluminum and turn it down to fit everything just because- will take a lot longer and won’t provide anything sockets won’t but i enjoy making aluminum chips and steel wool 😂

    Your right but When your in BFE and the nearest store is over an hour away and they can get it hopefully next day it sucks. To be honest 95% of the clutches Iv replaced came with the tool, this was shipped from Japan for our mini truck so it was a surprise it didn’t have it. No way Napa was getting it any time soon.
