sexual_sushi Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 hi all, just wondering if anyone knows where to get a clutch alignment tool for the 240z in aus? Just changing the clutch at christmas so I kinda need it by then. If not i suppose we can just knock one up on the lathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scando Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Know anybody with a busted gearbox out of a Zed, Skyline, VL Commodore, 240K, 200B, 180B, 1600, Stanza, etc, etc? The input shaft will do fine. Or you could just ask Santa to bring you one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Scando is right, but if not, then just buy one of those multi-fit clutch plate alignment kits, some sort of plastic, from Repco or SuperCheap or whoever; cheap as chips & they work just fine; just select the appropriate bits to make the tool up to exactly fit the car before you pull the old clutch off, & away you go.

Rod F Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I've got an input shaft from a Z gearbox if you wanted to borrow that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sco_aus Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I just did mine by sight 2 days ago, but i was just lucky that it went in fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeddophile Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Use a bit of broom handle with electrical tape wrapped around it to make it the right size - have used that a couple of times, works a treat. Or your lathing idea is even better, although might take slightly longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual_sushi Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 thanks for all the suggestions guys! supercheap might sound like the easier option and i guess it should only be a couple of bucks. we (by we i mean mainly my dad) have pulled the gearbox and done the clutch a few times and have never really needed one, thought it might make the process a lil easier though. Thanks for the offer rod f but im guessing your in melbourne? I'm in brisbane atm heading to gladstone where ill be doin the clutch. I think i even have a few gearboxes lying around up there anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
