*cough* eyeball it *cough*

much debated, often heated subject...

teh trick is to eyeball it real good for about 2 minutes, and make sure it is really lined up...

worked over 15 times for me... (well, there was one time it took 3 goes, but it was really late...)

No replacement for more tools!!

The tool makes it 1000 times easier but I guess you could try to eyeball it. The only thing is if you have ANY trouble putting the trans back off immediatly re-center the clutch or else you could really f*%($ the clutch disc splines.
