Default No Alignment Tool???
I'm getting ready to do a clutch swap along with a new tick MC to solve my sticky clutch. My new clutch the Centerforce 12" says it doesn't come with an alignment tool?? What's the deal with this? Should I just go to Napa or Autozone and get one? Or does someone on here have one that they could send me?? haha Thanks!

Autozone will normally loan one to you to use and then return. You have to put down a depost, but you get it back once returned.

After it's in, how about a report on how it's working for you. Would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds good, thanks guys. I will definitely be going to Autozone then. Will also post results on how it solves the sticky clutch issue.
