Necessary
for installing a clutch disc. This holds the disc
centered while you EVENLY tighten pressure plate bolts.
This guarantees transmission pilot shaft will slide in as
easy as possible and not damage disc while you are
letting the transmission hang on disc while you figure
out why it won't go in... :-(
When
I was a resourceful 16 year old spending my time with a
growing "fleet" of 57-58 Plymouths I must have whittled
down every wooden shaft I could find; my mom's
broom/mop/bathroom plunger etc handles to make something
like this tool. This would have saved much yelling in my
house. It was apparently all right that I filled their
garage with my junkers; leaving my dad to park and work
on his own car outside in the winter. Crossing the line
into upsetting the house was to put it mildly;
unacceptable behavior.
