EXEDY Clutch Alignment Tool DCT-20

A clutch alignment tool is a specialized tool used in the process of installing or replacing a clutch in a car. It is designed to ensure precise alignment between the clutch disc and the flywheel. The tool typically consists of a shaft with a centering cone on one end and a handle on the other end.

During the clutch installation process, the alignment tool is inserted through the clutch disc and into the pilot bearing in the crankshaft. As the tool is inserted, the centering cone of the tool engages with the center hole of the clutch disc, which helps to guide the disc into the correct position. This alignment is crucial to maintain proper balance and ensure smooth operation of the clutch system. The tool holds the clutch disc in position while the pressure plate is bolted down, ensuring that the clutch is perfectly centered and aligned with the flywheel. Once the clutch is properly aligned and installed, the alignment tool is removed, and the vehicle is ready to be driven.
