Clutch Alignment Tool
A clutch alignment tool is a device used to align the clutch disc with the pressure plate during the installation of a new clutch in a vehicle. This tool helps ensure that the clutch components are properly aligned, which is critical for the clutch to function correctly. The tool typically consists of a shaft that fits into the pilot bearing in the crankshaft, along with alignment pins that fit into the clutch disc and pressure plate. By using a clutch alignment tool, mechanics can easily align the clutch components before tightening down the pressure plate, reducing the risk of premature clutch wear or failure.
