Hey there, I'm assembling a rebuilt clutch. I thought I had a clutch alignment tool from my fiat, but can't find it. Is a clutch alignment tool absolutley necessary? Is it specific to the Alfa V6 transaxles?
Thanks,

Thanks Zamani.
What I ended up doing was putting the bolts through the pressure plate, then sliding the pressure plate, clutch, and flywheel on the tranny shaft. I pushed the assembly as far as I could in without the bolt heads hitting the tranny housing. Then one by one I tightened the bolts (only a turn or two at a time before rotating to the next bolt) through the upper clutch viewing hole. No I couldn't torque to spec but hopefully I'm close enough.
You could only assemble the clutch this way with the tranny out of the car imho. We'll see if it works out.
