4 spd Installation tricks

Alignment tool will only get you most of the way there :) if you let the plastic tool get pulled down by the weight of the pressure plate/disc, then tighten it up..... it's not gonna line up when you try to install the trans.
try tightening the pressure plate while sliding the alignment tool in and out with the other hand. If you don't have an alignment tool you can use a wood dowel or socket extension wrapped in tape to the correct diameter..
