I think the last time we just found something that fit kinda snug in the clutch and used that to position it. I guess we eyeballed it.

i don`t no if they still got them but a few years ago i bought a cluch alinement tool at autozone for around $2.50. it has the splins & a ring on the end to push it in and pull it out. if you have a junk tranny just cut the shaff off and use it.

This is what I use. You should be able to get one from your local auto parts store for 5 bucks or less.

i used my pinky before i just tightened the bolts till the clutch would not drop and aligned it that way it slid right on the shaft, but autozone still carries the tool

Me and my dad use a tool we made- A shaft out of a old tranny with a big ring welded to the back of it. Ours works great. You might try that. Just an idea.
