nickliv Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is there a special one, or will a universal one fit? If it's special one, is there a part no? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 i use a deep sockets with insulation tape wrapped around it to the correct dia. you can make it prior to removing the old clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Half inch drive long extension and insulating tape works for me. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I turned one up on the lathe out of an old piece of wooden dowel- works a treat. I found it far easier to use than a plastic screw type one I borrowed before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 A trailing arm Poly-bush metal insert is exactly the right size. Alternatively, I have used the socket/extension with sparky tape previously... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwcooper Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 The tape idea is definately the cheapest, I did the same when i put my new clutch in couple of months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I've used old input shafts in the past but also have an equally old multi fit alignment tool that I bought decades ago. Something which works along the same principles can be got from Machine Mart for fifteeen quid or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_wingnut Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Last two i've done we lined up by feel and both boxes went back in first push. Before i used to use a gearbox input shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyllie Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 i tried one from Machine Mart, but it was too small, a mate with a lathe made one in ten minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
