Title says it all, I ordered a new clutch online because mine is slipping like a ****, said it was supposed to have alignment tool but doesnt.

anyone know anything that would prove a reasonable substitute? Ill be replacing it either today or tomorrow so need something quickly if possible.

 

What type of clutch is it?

 

Sorry, this is on my 94 civic ex, d16z6, just a factory replacement

 

whos resurfacing your flywheel? or did you get a new one?

im sure if you post in a local thread someone will loan you one.

 

check your local autozones or parts stores...i had the same exact issue...went to an autozone and they had it..

 

Honda,autozone,harbor freight.

 

i have done MANY times with a very close sized socket to align or even my finger and leave pressure plate tad loose, slide trans on and then pull off trans tighten down.

 

Ive tried all local parts stores, none of them can evem order it, ill check with honda tomorrow but dont wanna pay $30 from a dealer for a piece of plastic ill use once. Like the socket idea tho, thanks for the ideas guys.

 

advanced auto parts sells a universal clutch tool that's like a tapered cone and different attachments that will work with any transmission..... harbor freight has them for 10 bux and u will never need that plastic tool int he box again. ive used these before and they work perfectly. advanced wants almost 30 bux for thiers... I don't know how much mechanic work u do but if u do a lot like me its worth having... pic of tool here:

Use a deepwell socket.

I've done it many times.

 

I checked harbor freights website earlier and couldn't find anything, but that isn't too bad, im about to start pulling the transmission so if the socket idea doesn't work ill hop over to HF and pick that up. Thanks!

 

just like jdmh22eg2 states in his reply

use socket or finger to get aligned as close as possible with pressure plate a little bit loose to where clutch disc can still be moved around a little bit.put transmission back once transmission is on you can actually tighten the pressure plate inside the starter hole rotating the crank to get to the next bolt.

did this and it worked for me

 

If actually centered some before with a socket and have had no problems what so ever.

 

Deep 10mm socket with a 6" extension, wrap the part of the socket that goes through the splines in the clutch disc with electrical tape to make it the correct diameter. If you don't have a socket that fits get a piece of wooden dowel, or anything really that fits pretty snugly in the pilot bearing, then build up the the part that goes through the clutch disc with tape.

 

lolz with all the tool, it be nice to have an alignment tool much easier but not necessary, i done it many time just using my finger just don't tighten the pressure plate bolts make sure the clutch is center then torque the pressure plate to spec.
