(Picture/GIF/Video Coming Soon!)(This article is under construction.)(Picture of final product.) While installing the clutch disk into my Scion FR-S (Subaru BRZ) (Toyota 86), i spent almost two hours struggling with getting my transmission to mate to the engine block. Eventually, i took the transmission back down, and noticed that the clutch was mis-aligned. I came to find that the alignment tool had deformed from the weight of the clutch disk, and without noticing, i had mis-aligned the clutch disk during the installation of the pressure plate. I was outraged! I had to remove the alignment tool, examine it, then replace it and manually align the clutch disk to make up for the low-quality tool.
This precision alignment tool was designed specifically to replace the unreliable ACT AT90 – Alignment Tool, shown below.
The new, reliable alignment tool was precision-engineered, from scratch, through the use of my OEM clutch disk, pressure plate & flywheel, for highly accurate dimensional references.
I then performed an FEA (Finite Element Analysis [Stress Analysis]) on the new tool, to verify that it will not sag under load. During the design process, I manufactured & tested multiple prototypes, until the fitment was perfect.
