makes it easier to get the transmission back on

without it, the clutch disc, may not be centered

Any local ricer shop will have a bunch laying around. Call and see if you can get one.

Otherwise, I'm sure someone has one laying around that is willing to send one to you. They come with almost every clutch kit I've seen.

Use a broom stick handle and a little bit of eye coordination to center the clutch disk. Works like a charm

I also have a plastic clutch alignment tool if you need it.

Just switched a clutch wihtout one yesterday... make the bolts on the PP finger loose so you can just barely slide the clutch around... get it centered the best you can then put the tranny up and it will center once the mainshaft hits the pilot bearing. pull it straight back off and tighten the PP then it will go right on.

Or use a socket on and extension........................if slight size adjustment is needed, a little electical tape works.
