bilk Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I'm swapping engines at the weekend and need to put the clutch from the current engine onto the new one. I don't have an old input shaft to align the clutch so can anyone recommend a good clutch alignment tool as I've heard that some are a bit pants.Cheers, Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willcolumbine Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Most are just crappy moulded plastic but there are better universal ones that are metal and come with a variety of spline patterns etc. The one I've got for my 1500 is plastic but it's done the job okay a few times now. If you want to borrow it just drop me a pm and I'll get it in the post for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilk Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Thanks for the kind offer Will. There are a couple going cheap on e-bay so I'll try and get one of them because I'll be swapping back to the original engine at some point and it will be handy to have one.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ.Lintern Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I did it by eye - but then I may have just been lucky, as it lined up first time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Use a bar out of a socket set. Did it this way both times I had the box off the block and went back on dead easy, second time did it alone. Put the box in gear to turn the shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don cook1 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yes Mac, I used a 1/2" drive socket bar as it fits snuggly in the flywheel, I found a tube that fitted in the clutch plate and slid that over the socket bar with tape wound round it until it was all nice and firm. Hey presto...but I've been given a really old universal one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
