NO YOU DONT NEED ONE!

the pressure plate AND disk slide onto the input shaft of the tranny. push the tranny into place, then bolt on clutch from the acess holes!

oh and do me a favor... dont make 2 threads.

I always use an alignment tool. It centers the clutch disc within the pressure plate. If you don't use one, it will be nearly impossible to put the tranny back in. Here are some links to a tutorial I did on SF.

Do you have a W series transmission? The R154 doesn't need a tool, both the pressure plate and the disc slide onto the transmission input shaft. The input shaft does all the centering automagically.

I have yet to use a centering tool on an R154, and reinstallation has yet to be a problem.

yes. for the w58 and alignment tool is your friend, for the r-154, it's pretty useless.
