clutch plates alignment?
Iam installing a tremec tko600, with a twin plate clutch, is there a tool out there to help align the clutch plates, when bolting it all up to the flywheel?

Most every clutch assembly comes with the alinement tool. At the shop where I work we have a drawer full of ones people made over the years.
We just make them out of aluminum bar stock. just caliper the tko input shaft. you end up with two diameters a small one on the end to fit into the crank pilot bearing and the larger shaft size to thr inside of the clutch disks.
make the front about 3/4 inches and the rest about 8. Even without the splines I manage to do multi clutch plate setups

I have a triple disc clutch and use an old input shaft with the gear chopped off but if I was you I would try and rig some way to use the trans to line up the splines.

If you didn't get one, there are cheap alignment tools available which will usually get you close enough that having an assistant depressing the clutch pedal as you get ready to fit the input shaft into the crankshaft pilot bearing should be all the extra help you need, if that. But, there's really nothing better than using an old input shaft, as long as it has the correct splines and pilot.
