Diaphragm clutch alignment How to do it without a tool just by eye no alignment tool needed

http://www.diy-dvds.com




This is some information on how to line up your clutch plate prior to tightenting the pressure plate up to the flywheel. Its easy to do without the tool if you take your time by eye and using a socket you will probably have lying around the job. I explain a bit about the clutch and what to look for and youu see the gearbox go back on afterwards. Why does a clutch squeak? check the plate springs look at the flywheel condition check the gearbox input shaft. Tons more on the dvd at www.diy-dvds.com Filmed at Buzbys Garage Chingford E4

I know the feeling we didn't always get it right first time but 6 hours is probably some sort of record !

Good video

When I push my 406 hdi (90) clutch pedal in,I can feel a click halfway down the length of travel. Can get all gears tho. Bit of shudder when it's cold. Any ideas what the click feeling could be? It's def coming from gear box area (the sound).

Been told it could be pressure plates on way out

@ylad1999 without a clutch allignment tool.... dont try to be sarcastic, this mans gone out of his way for people like me wondering if its possible.

Just installed my first clutch over the weekend! Other than rusted bolts, everything went relatively smooth. My biggest issue was my vehicle doesn't have an easily obtainable clutch kit option (Was going to be a week to get and 450+ tax) so I reused parts from a lower mileage parts car and cleaned the flywheel and pressure plate with fine grit sandpaper. I used your tips and used an appropriate socket (A little duct tape around it to help snug the fit) and it works great! Thanks again!!!

[ylad1999]

no tool needed apart from the socket being used an alignment tool ???

I think my clutch is slipping, under harsh acceleration power skips for a second and he rattles slightly when engaged. I'm guessing this is clutch? Recently bought 1998 1.4, owned by a gran all it's life so not ragged but not cared for either. I was wondering how to change the clutch over as i've all the work needed myself so far (and on previous car, which was exactly the same make and model) and was wondering how hard it'd be. I'm not looking forward to tackling that gearbox. I only have jacks

it is very hard to find a clutch allignment

and my teacher told me the same...

[VikAtul]

[trailerfitter]

I'd just use a rod with black tape wrapped in the right places. I spent hours under a V4 ford transit trying to align the cltch up...never again.

[WorldofLandRover]

I once spent six hours trying to fit the gear box without a clutch aligner...

WHERE WERE YOU PHIL???

Great "trick", fantastic.
