Anyone local have a clutch alignment tool from a past clutch replacement job that I could borrow or even buy?
I'm tooling up for the clutch replacement work. All I need is the clutch alignment tool and advice on how high I should put SPLNDID up in the air in order to move the tranny out enough to strap on the new parts.
I plan on removing the flywheel and replacing the slide bearing, then bolting on a new pressure plate and new clutch from ACT. The ACT street clutch kit did not come with the bearings or alignment tool. I have the bearings on order. Just need the alignment tool.
I have standard jacks. How high off the floor does the car need to be to get the clutch work done?

Word?

 

your in for some fun, I've had my tranny out twice so far and its a days work. get it high enough to work comfortably. you may have to get it up a little higher when getting the bellhousing out from under the car.
If you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for the act kit and where did you purchase it from? Act used to include the bearings and tool but for some reason stopped. I got ripped of when I purchased mine from vivid because I paid the price they were charging for the pressure plate,disk,tool and bearings but only got the pressure plate and disk....

 

...
yeah,
I ordered mine from an Ebay seller. I ordered the street kit which includes the high pressure plate and clutch plat only. It was 470 plus 30 shipping so 500. I then ordered the honda slip and release bearing from hondaparts for about 100. I found the release bearing OEM from a dealer for about 80 and the slip for about 12.
Don't care too much about how long it takes me as the S is not my daily driver. Will take my time to install the clutch.

 

I have 4 uber-jackstands, alignment tool, & tranny jack but am located in Tucson. I can mail you the alignment tool if you want but you will need tall jackstands and a tranny jack to be safe.
