Another point that may or may not be helpful : I found the plastic alignment
tool to be nearly worthless, because it was too loose a fit in both the
clutch plate and the pilot bearing.  I can do just as good a job by feeling
with my fingers.  A spare (ruined) input shaft makes a much better alignment
tool, IMO.

Personally, I don't use nuts/bolts to draw the gearbox up at all.  Just
wiggle it around until it slides into place.
