Yeah i dont have one man but what i have done in the past an may help u out is to try an do it by eye which works most of the time. Or u can have the pressure plate loosen off enough so u can just move the fricton plate with a bit of force, then put the box onto the back of the motor an sitting on the dowels. Then pull the box off the motor very carefully an straight then tighten up the pressure plate then if done right the box should slip straight back on.

We have one but I am not sure if it is at our farm. My parents are there this weekend, so I will get my Dad to have a look but if it was there, they won't be back until Monday.

Hey Jack, maybe PM the people in this thread who said they possibly could help Lc coupe in the beginning. See how they went. But be aware alot of people offer help and never follow through with things mate Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

$50???? i paid $10 for my clutch alignment tool (for the MX7 of course) from a clutch shop. Had all types there - all $10. They are plasic, but do the job perfectly. Have you called any clutch shops?

nope but for $10 i certainly will! was considerin one of the $50 jobbies because that would be useful on all cars for the future, as its probably a useful thing to get now, so mates and myself later can use. however at $10 a pop might aswell just get one for the pulsar.

the right size spark plug works good too, when you have nothing you can get the job done someway, its just a matter of using your head and what you have lying around Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
