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:Audi 80 2.0 Ltr, 3A 2.0E, 5 Speed, 1/88-12/92 1988-1992Audi 80 2.0 Ltr 2.0e RWD, 1/89-12/89 1989-1989Audi 80 2.0 Ltr 2.0i S, 1/89-12/92 1989-1992Audi 80 2.3 Ltr 5 Cyl, NG 1/88-12/92 1988-1992Audi 80 2.3 Ltr, 5 Cyl 2.3e FWD, 1/90-12/93 1990-1993Audi 80 2.6 Ltr, V6, 110kw 10/93-8/95 1993-1995Audi 80 2.6 Ltr, ABC, 110kw 2.6e FWD, 10/93-8/95 1993-1995Audi 90 1.6 Ltr TDI, RA & SB 4/88-9/91 1988-1991Audi 90 2.3 Ltr 5 Cyl, NG 5 Speed, 1/89-12/92 1989-1992Audi 90 2.0 Ltr, PS, 85kw 2.0e, 4/87-12/91 1987-1991Audi 90 2.2 Ltr, KV, 100kw 2.2e, 4/87-12/91 1987-1991Audi 90 2.3 Ltr, NG, 100kw 2.3e, 4/87-12/91 1987-1991Audi 90 2.0 Ltr 20V, NM, 118kw 2.0e, 8/88-12/91 1988-1991Audi 90 2.3 Ltr 20V, 7A, 125kw 2.3e, 8/88-12/91 1988-1991Audi 90 2.2 Ltr, KV, 100kw 2.2e Quattro, 4/87-9/91 1987-1991Audi 90 2.3 Ltr, NG, 100kw 2.3e Quattro, 4/87-9/91 1987-1991Audi 90 2.3 Ltr 20V, 5 Cyl, 100kw Quattro, 1/89-12/91 1989-1991Audi 90 2.0 Ltr 20V, NM, 118kw 2.0e Quattro, 1/88-9/91 1988-1991Audi 90 2.3 Ltr 20V, 7A, 125kw 2.3e Quattro, 4/87-9/91 1987-1991Audi 100 2.3 Ltr, NF 100 CD, 1/88-3/91 1988-1991Audi 100 2.3 Ltr, NF, 100kw 100 CD, 5 Speed, 1/88-11/90 1988-1990Audi 100 2.3 Ltr, 5 Cyl 2.3i, 1/89-12/91 1989-1991Audi 100 2.3 Ltr, 5 Cyl 2.3i CD, 1/88-12/89 1988-1989Audi 100 2.3 Ltr, NF, 100kw Quattro, 1/88-12/90 1988-1990Audi 100 2.2 Ltr, 102kw Quattro, 1/88-12/90 1988-1990Audi A3 3.2 Ltr, BMJ 8P1, 6 Speed, 8/04-7/06 2004-2006Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, AZV, 100kw 8P1, 6 Speed, 5/03-5/07, Suits Sachs F/W 2003-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr 16V TDI, BKD, 103kw 8P1, 6 Speed, 5/03-5/07, Suits Sachs F/W 2003-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, BMM, 103kw 8P1, 6 Speed, 6/05-6/08, Suits Sachs F/W 2005-2008Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, BMM, 103kw 8P1, 6 Speed, 6/05-6/08, Suits LUK F/W 2005-2008Audi A3 2.0 Ltr 16V TDI, BKD, 103kw 8P1, 6 Speed, 5/03-5/07, Suits LUK F/W 2003-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, AZV, 100kw 8P1, 6 Speed, 5/03-5/07, Suits LUK F/W 2003-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, AZV, 100kw 8P1 Quattro, 6 Speed, 5/03-5/07, Suits Sachs F/W 2003-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr 16V TDI, BKD, 103kw 8P1 Quattro, 6 Speed, 8/04-5/07, Suits Sachs F/W 2004-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, BMM, 103kw 8P1 Quattro, 6 Speed, 1/06-6/08, Suits Sachs F/W 2006-2008Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, BMM, 103kw 8P1 Quattro, 6 Speed, 1/06-6/08, Suits LUK F/W 2006-2008Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, AZV, 100kw 8P1 Quattro, 6 Speed, 5/03-5/07, Suits LUK F/W 2003-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr 16V TDI, BKD, 103kw 8P1 Quattro, 6 Speed, 8/04-5/07, Suits LUK F/W 2004-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr 16V TDI, BKD, 103kw 8PA, 6 Speed, 9/04-5/07, Suits Sachs F/W 2004-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, BMM, 103kw 8PA, 6 Speed, 6/05-6/08, Suits Sachs F/W 2005-2008Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, BMM, 103kw 8PA, 6 Speed, 6/05-6/08, Suits LUK F/W 2005-2008Audi A3 2.0 Ltr 16V TDI, BKD, 103kw 8PA, 6 Speed, 9/04-5/07, Suits LUK F/W 2004-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr 16V TDI, BKD, 103kw 8PA Quattro, 6 Speed, 11/05-5/07, Suits Sachs F/W 2005-2007Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, BMM, 103kw 8PA Quattro, 6 Speed, 1/06-6/08, Suits Sachs F/W 2006-2008Audi A3 2.0 Ltr TDI, BMM, 103kw 8PA Quattro, 6 Speed, 1/06-6/08, Suits LUK F/W 2006-2008Audi A3 2.0 Ltr 16V TDI, BKD, 103kw 8PA Quattro, 6 Speed, 11/05-5/07, Suits LUK F/W 2005-2007Audi A4 2.0 Ltr DOHC, ALT, 96kw 10/00-5/08 2000-2008Audi A4 1.8 Ltr Turbo, AJL, 132kw B5, 12/97-9/01
