I agree with Richard =E2=80=93 I go through the same =
=E2=80=9Cmicro=E2=80=9D centering process.

One suggestion:  When you use the centering tool (plastic or otherwise), =
tilt the tool all the way up then all the way down, then do the same =
from side to side, then split the difference with the tool in place when =
you tighten the pressure plate bolts.  I personally go through this =
routine at least 2 or 3 times to make sure I am as close to the center =
position as possible.

=20

One question: Why do you think the metal input shaft is harder to use =
than the plastic tool?   The input shaft is much longer than the plastic =
tool and you can get a better feel for finding the center position when =
moving it through its range of motion as you align the disc.=20

To revert to the problem I=E2=80=99ve being having with my gearbox not =
wanting to reinstall to my new clutch=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6

=20

Bleeding it made no difference.. It was a forlorn hope as I was sure =
I=E2=80=99d not lost any fluid but miracles are always welcome.

=20

The gearbox is on the workshop floor as is the new clutch.

=20

Before removing the new clutch I played around with the AH Spares =
plastic alignment tool and my spare shaft. Both went in without any =
trouble but I suppose they would have anyhow unless they=E2=80=99d been =
miles out?? The new clutch slides onto the shaft in the gearbox just as =
it should.

=20

See attached file=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6Seems to me that the old clutch was =
in pretty good shape and, with benefit of 20/20 hindsight, one might =
have left well alone! It=E2=80=99s been in there for 27 years that I =
know of. There were/are a few discrepancies between the old and new =
clutches. See attached. I don=E2=80=99t think these would matter????

=20

Are there any obvious steps that I might have missed? Obvious, but, =
seemingly, not to me!

=20

I haven=E2=80=99t taken out the flywheel. Didn=E2=80=99t see why? =
It=E2=80=99s in; it=E2=80=99s straight/vertical and works.

=20

People state a preference for alignment with a spare shaft rather than =
the black plastic tool. I can see that the metal shaft might be somewhat =
more precise, but harder to use surely?=20

=20

I=E2=80=99m reluctant to reinstall and just repeat the whole sorry =
process=E2=80=A6.

=20

Any suggestion?

=20

Thanks,

Simon
