anyone know where i can score a clutch alignment tool this weekend? just realized i got everything except for that piece:Hammer
any help will be greatly appreciated
thanks
I got a universal one from CAF (Camberley Auto Factors) - not sure if they\'ve a branch near you?
At a pinch, and this worked for me before buying a tool for it, I\'ve used a socket that just fits in the splines and another that just fits in the spigot hole, you can wrap some tape around and lube with grease to get a \'snug\' but sliding fit. It\'s only to hold it whilst you do up the cover bolts.
They generally chuck a plastic tool in with a lot of kits, that works fine too.
thanks for that. looked up their shops and none around me
any car parts auto place will sell a cheep draper one that will do the job. even halfords should stock it
thanks for the help!!
An old method, maybe a last resort if you can\'t find a proper tool.
Cut a sweeping brush handle into a foot long dowel and whittle the end to fit into the release bearing. Then hammer the \'New Artifact\' into the old clutch plate spines. A bit of wax candle to ease it all and \'hey presto\' a perfect alignment tool for the new plate. I\'m 35,000 miles past the last time I did this.....no judder or problems.
First time I fitted the box a rather experienced local hero used an old gearbox input shaft he\'\'d sheared as ana lignment tool - took me fricking yonks to get the box on.
Next time I use a broom handle and smashed it in.
Box went on first time...
what car are you doing fd , fc , or other
fc:3gears-lh
hmm darn.. I know the fd can use the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII & IX alignment tool.
it clutch number is ACT-AT03.
Im almost sure that the fc gen II uses the same alignment too.
