Installing a new clutch is an exercise in frustration, mainly because you have to manhandle a giant transmission underneath your car. The last thing you want to do is have to start all over because the clutch plate slipped out of alignment and won't engage with the input shaft. Save yourself some time and effort and use a clutch alignment tool to make sure this does not happen to you. The tools are very simple, made from injection moulded plastic or nylon, you need the tool that matches your transmission. This is a matter of knowing the spline count on the input shaft. If the splines don't line up, it won't work. Do not try to fudge it with a tool that does not fully engage the spines. If your clutch alignment tool does not fit the pilot bearing/bushing, it is the wrong one, you need to get the correct one. On the back of the engine, the flywheel bolts to the crank. Inside the crank is a recess for the bearing. The tip of the clutch alignment tool locks into the bearing, keeping your clutch in place. First, insert the tool into the clutch plate. Make sure the clutch is facing the correct direction. The tool should stick all the way through the spines on the plate. Then place the clutch on the flywheel, and engage the alignment tool into the pilot bushing or bearing in the centre of the crankshaft. Push the clutch tight to the flywheel. The tool goes into the clutch plate, and then the tool is installed into the bearing on the flywheel. It should not move around at all. With the clutch on the flywheel, install the pressure plate to the flywheel and start the bolts. Wiggle the alignment tool to make sure it is fully engaged and seated in the pilot bushing/bearing. Tighten the pressure plate bolts in a criss-cross pattern and then torque to spec. The clutch alignment tool stays in the clutch until you are ready to install the transmission. While the pressure place should hold the clutch from moving, don't take the risk of pulling the tool out too soon. Once the transmission is ready to install, pop the tool out, and slide the transmission into place. Every application has a different clutch tool. These three tools look similar, and may even mesh together, but they are all different.Features and SpecificationsClutch Industries (CI) Clutch Alignment ToolMandatory use on Clutch InstallsEnsure optimum clutch life and performanceDual Mass Flywheel: Not IncludedConcentric Slave Cylinder: Not IncludedFitment:Chevrolet Camaro 3.1 Ltr, V6 1/90-12/92 1990-1992Chevrolet Camaro 2.8 Ltr, V6 1/85-12/89 1985-1989Holden Belmont 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Belmont 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 94kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Belmont 161ci, 161 HC Red Motor, 85kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Belmont 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 97kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Belmont 161ci, 161 HC Red Motor, 85kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Belmont 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Calibra 2.5 Ltr, C25XE YE95, 5/93-6/95 1993-1995Holden Calibra 2.5 Ltr, X25XE YE95, 8/95-7/98 1995-1998Holden Kingswood 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 94kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Kingswood 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Kingswood 161ci, 161 HC Red Motor, 85kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Kingswood 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Kingswood 161ci, 161 HC Red Motor, 85kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Kingswood 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 97kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Monaro 161ci, 161 LC Red Motor, 81kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Monaro 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 94kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Monaro 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Monaro 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HK GTS, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Monaro 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 94kw HK GTS, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Monaro 161ci, 161 HC Red Motor, 85kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Monaro 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Monaro 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 97kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Monaro 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HT GTS, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Premier 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 94kw HR, 4 Speed Opel, 8/67-12/67 1967-1967Holden Premier 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HR, 4 Speed Opel, 8/67-12/67 1967-1967Holden Premier 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 94kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Premier 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HK, 4 Speed Opel, 1/68-4/69 1968-1969Holden Premier 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 97kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Premier 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HT, 4 Speed Opel, 5/69-6/70 1969-1970Holden Special 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HR, 4 Speed Opel, 8/67-12/67 1967-1967Holden Special 161ci, 161 HC Red Motor, 85kw HR, 4 Speed Opel, 8/67-12/67 1967-1967Holden Special 161ci, 161 LC Red Motor, 81kw HR, 4 Speed Opel, 8/67-12/67 1967-1967Holden Special 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 94kw HR, 4 Speed Opel, 8/67-12/67 1967-1967Holden Standard 161ci, 161 HC Red Motor, 85kw HR, 4 Speed Opel, 8/67-12/67 1967-1967Holden Standard 161ci, 161 LC Red Motor, 81kw HR, 4 Speed Opel, 8/67-12/67 1967-1967Holden Standard 186ci, 186 Red Motor, 94kw HR, 4 Speed Opel, 8/67-12/67 1967-1967Holden Standard 186ci, 186 S Red Motor, 108kw HR, 4 Speed Opel, 8/67-12/67 1967-1967Holden Torana 6 Cyl, Red Motor LC, Opel 4 Speed, 10/69-1/72 1969-1972Holden Torana 6 Cyl, 173, 88kw LC GTR, Opel 4 Speed, 8/71-1/72 1971-1972Holden Torana 6 Cyl, 161, 86kw LC GTR, Opel 4 Speed, 10/69-12/70 1969-1970Holden Torana 6 Cyl, 186, 119kw LC XU1, Opel 4 Speed, 10/69-1/72 1969-1972Jeep 2.5 Ltr MPFI 1/91-12/93 1991-1993Jeep Cherokee & Grand Cherokee 2.5 Ltr 1/93-12/93 1993-1993Jeep Cherokee & Grand Cherokee 2.5 Ltr 1/94-12/02 1994-2002Jeep Wrangler 2.5 Ltr 1/93-12/93 1993-1993Jeep Wrangler 2.5 Ltr 1/94-12/02 1994-2002Mini Cooper S 1.6 Ltr SC, W11B16A, 120kw R53, 6 Speed, 5/02-2/07 2002-2007Mini One D 1.4 Ltr Diesel, 1ND, 55kw R50, 6 Speed, 5/03-12/06 2003-2006Pontiac Firebird 2.8 Ltr, V6 1/85-12/89 1985-1989Pontiac Firebird 3.1 Ltr, V6 1/90-12/92 1990-1992Saab 900 2.5 Ltr V6, B258i, 125kw 7/93-12/95 1993-1995Saab 900 2.5 Ltr V6, B258i, 125kw 1/96-2/98 1996-1998Saab 900 2.3 Ltr, B234 9/93-5/98
