Now you need to take off the bell housing and bolt on the clutch and pressure plate. An old input shaft from a transmission is the BEST tool possible to line up a clutch. One of the BIG problems with the cheap plastic lining up tools is they do not fit very tightly into the pilot bearing. So, the weight of the clutch and pressure plate tends to bend the plastic line up tool and then you have a hard time getting the transmission to go in.

First item of business is to find the pressure plate bolts. Again, we use ARP 150-2201 bolts.
