I need a clutch alignment too! :(
Where do you buy these?
I thought it was something you could get at any parts store?
O'Reily, Pep Boys, and Autozone all say they don't sell them for 'my particular model'?
How much do they usually run and do I have to go straight to honda for one?

It should've came with your clutch when you bought it....I didn't have one for mine, so I just used a different one, and it worked fine for me..

Re: I need a clutch alignment too! :( (hot_EG)
you don't need one! I just put a clutch in my vtec lude and didn't use one. Line it up w/ a frigging broom handle or something that fits perfect inside the clutch disk and eyeball the thing. That's what I did and it's fine 5k miles later. My mechanic told me to do that when I asked him for one of his alignment tools. You'll be fine.

maybe you can use ur finger. we only eyeballed it and when it came time to puttin in the tranny (engine was in the car), it didnt go in. we used a universal alignment tool and when it came time to put in the tranny, it didnt go in. I just got him a tool and we're gonna try and put it in soon. Just telling you from my experiences.
