What do you use to line up the clutch?

[jafanan]

Need to replace the clutch on my f10 box, what do you use to hold the clutch plate in place?

[John]

Are you replacing the clutch through the inspection cover hole or with the gearbox removed?

[mowgli]

if you are doing it with the gbox in place, then the input shaft, turned till it slides in is pretty good....

[brainsnova]

A clutch alignment tool of something the same diameter as the input shaft

I just line them up by eye, never had an issue. I assume you have taken the box off rather than changing it through the access cover?

[jafanan]

Yes box is off

Anytime I've seen someone changing it they had another shaft they used until the had the clutch built, seemed a lot easier.

[mk1nova_rich]

You can buy an alignment tool for a few quid, usually come with a variety of sizes

[mowgli]

do it by eye.. if its centred over the hole in the flywheel, it will be fine

[bazil]

I use the gearbox,

Line up by eye, get the splines lined up and bolt it together,

Never had a problem that way before,

I use a deep socket that fits through the clutch
