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:Nissan Dualis 2.0 Ltr MPFI, MR20DE, 103kw J10, 6 Speed, 2/07- 2007Nissan Dualis 2.0 Ltr MPFI, MR20DE, 103kw J10 AWD, 6 Speed, 12/07- 2007Nissan Pulsar 1.8 Ltr, MRA8DE, 96kw B17, 2/13- 2013Nissan Pulsar 1.8 Ltr, MRA8DE, 96kw C12, 6/13- 2013Nissan Qashqai 2.0 Ltr MPFI, MR20DE, 103kw J10, 9/09-1/16 2009-2016Nissan Tiida 1.8 Ltr MPFI, MR18DE, 93kw C11, 6 Speed, 2/06-4/13 2006-2013Nissan X-Trail 2.0 Ltr DOHC, MR20DE, 102kw T31, 6 Speed, 1/11-3/15 2011-2015Nissan X-Trail 2.5 Ltr DOHC, QR25DE, 125kw T31, 6 Speed, 10/07-3/15 2007-2015Renault Fuego 2.0 Ltr TDI Fuego, 10/82-12/84 1982-1984Renault Fuego 1.6 Ltr Turbo Fuego, 9/83-12/85 1983-1985Renault Fuego 2.0 Ltr, 81kw Fuego, 9/80-12/84 1980-1984Renault Fuego 1.6 Ltr OHV Fuego, 1/79-12/85 1979-1985Renault Fuego 2.1 Ltr Diesel, J8S.7.12, 65kw Fuego, 9/82-12/84 1982-1984Renault Koleos 2.5 Ltr DOHC, 2TR, 126kw H45, 9/08- 2008Renault R15 R15, 1/73-5/76 1973-1976Renault R15 1.6 Ltr Coupe, R15TS, 1/73-12/76 1973-1976Renault R16 R16, 7/73-12/77 1973-1977Renault R16 1.6 Ltr R16TL (R1152), 1/73-12/76 1973-1976Renault R16 1.6 Ltr R16TS (R1151), 1/73-12/76 1973-1976Renault R16 R16, 6/68-6/73 1968-1973Renault R16 R16 (R1150), 1/70-12/73 1970-1973Renault R16 R16TL (R1152), 1/70-12/73 1970-1973Renault R16 R16TS (R1151), 1/70-12/73 1970-1973Renault R17 R17, 1/73-5/76 1973-1976Renault R17 1.6 Ltr R17TL (R1312), 1/73-12/76 1973-1976Renault R18 1.9 Ltr OHV R18, 1/80-12/86 1980-1986Renault R18 2.0 Ltr TDI R18, 4/84-2/86 1984-1986Renault R18 2.0 Ltr Diesel R18, 4/84-2/86 1984-1986Renault R18 1.6 Ltr Turbo, AL5.7.17, 92kw R18, 1/80-12/86 1980-1986Renault R18 1.6 Ltr R18GTS, 1/80-12/86 1980-1986Renault R18 1.6 Ltr OHV R18, 1/72-12/86 1972-1986Renault R18 2.0 Ltr TDI R18, 1/81-3/84 1981-1984Renault R18 2.0 Ltr Diesel R18, 1/81-3/84 1981-1984Renault R18 R18, 3/80-12/83 1980-1983Renault R20 2.2 Ltr, 851.00, 85kw R20, 1/81-12/87 1981-1987Renault R20 2.0 Ltr, 80kw R20, 1/81-12/87 1981-1987Renault R20 2.1 Ltr R20, 1/81-12/87 1981-1987Renault R20 2.1 Ltr Diesel, 852.00, 47kw R20, 10/79-12/84 1979-1984Renault R20 1.6 Ltr OHV, 843.20, 71kw R20, 1/75-12/81 1975-1981Renault R20 2.0 Ltr, 80kw R20, 1/77-12/81 1977-1981Renault R20 2.2 Ltr, 851.00, 85kw R20, 1/77-12/81 1977-1981Renault R20 2.1 Ltr R20, 1/77-12/81 1977-1981Renault R21 2.0 Ltr R21, 3/86-12/94 1986-1994Renault R21 2.1 Ltr Diesel R21, 6/86-8/95 1986-1995Renault R25 2.2 Ltr R25, 9/83-12/92 1983-1992Renault R25 2.1 Ltr TDI, 63kw R25, 9/83-12/92 1983-1992Renault R25 2.1 Ltr Diesel R25, 9/83-12/92 1983-1992Renault R30 2.1 Ltr TDI, J8S.7.02, 63kw R30, 10/81-12/84 1981-1984Renault Trafic 1.9 Ltr TDI, F9Q762, 60kw 6 Speed, 9/01-4/07, 3 Bolt CSC 2001-2007Renault Trafic 1.9 Ltr TDI, F9Q760, 74kw 6 Speed, 9/01-4/07, 3 Bolt CSC 2001-2007Renault Trafic 1.9 Ltr TDI, F9Q762, 60kw 6 Speed, 9/01-4/07, 2 Bolt CSC 2001-2007Renault Trafic 1.9 Ltr TDI, F9Q760, 74kw 6 Speed, 9/01-4/07, 2 Bolt CSC 2001-2007
