Clutch Aligning Tool

[shanef]

Hi all,

Time to put in the new clutch but theres one problem, i dont have a clutch aligning tool.

So does anyone have one that they could lend me for this saturday? Shoot me a pm or give me a call, 0403 477 372, we can come to some sort of payment if necessary.

Thanks in advance!

No one's got one to lend or know where i can get one???

Auto Cheap or Repco

[Alfadog]

I tried Cheapa Auto Spares when I had to use one of these babies, $40 for a tool I'll probably use once or twice? No thanks... so I know how you feel! I have heard that Repco sometimes LEND people tools - you could try asking someone there nicely. Otherwise, you could use a set of verniers and a bit of guess and check.

how about the old torch and screw driver trick lol. na i think super cheap sell universal ones for pretty cheap

[shanef]

thanks fellas...but the fella who'se puttin it in tells me he can make up his own, all he needs is the 2 diameters around the input shaft...

Maybe this is a chance for a group buy? (if it turns out that is works that is)

Or the chance for SAU to have one on hand for members.

most people use a spare input shaft, which is what I've got

align the clutch by feel if u cant get a inputshaft

put the clutch and pressure plate on so the bolts nip the 2 but u can still move the clutch. feel inbetween the flywheel and pressure plate and u will feel the clutch move it around untill it levelall the way round do the bolts up and thats it

dont waste youe money on clutch alignment tool they are useless

[shanef]

Alrite will try both methods. If we can make it and it works i'll get a few spares made so SAU has one to lend

there are cheap plastic ones available too less than $10. The rb ones are the same as heaps of nissans right back to 180b!

well thes clutch is in, no problems at all!

All we needed to do was machin a piece of metal (my case stainless hehe) to the size of the input shaft, and a few others. But yeah input shaft would be the best bet.

thanks all.
