Anyone knows where I can get a clutch alignment tool for a 110 Corolla?
Been calling everywhere and nobody seems to have it

Thanks

Make a post in the toyota section, or see if you can get in one of then toyota group chats, somebody will have 1.

Or option 2
Do it ole skool, use a screw driver to kinda set the clutch disc,
wiggle in the gear box while the pressure plate loosely tightened and try to get it in. Remove the gearbox carefully and tighten up the pressure plate.

Use a deep socket that matches closes to the alighment tool,center the disc and bolt down the pressure plate to torque specs.

Get an old output gear shaft.

visit fabricating shop a have then turn down a piece of hollow metal pipe to your O.D spec.

measure output shaft diameter with a vernier..

tbh the broomstick idea sounds legit...

i've changed more clutch kits than i care to remember and i've never used that tool.
deep socket or broomstick has always done the trick.

That broomstick and deep socket method does be dead on???
I aint no strong man to be wiggling up gearbox for the input shaft to finish line it up inno :cry:

How good are those ebay clutch kits btw?
After inspecting the clutch and pressure plate they look like they get some lix previously so I might as well replace them one time before the gearbox go in. The kits looking tempting since I getting a release bearing with it too.

If not what do you guys recommend?
This is my first time doing this as the car is automatic atm.

Buy OEM.
Or good aftermarket brand: exedy or act

Also, resurface the flywheel 1 time

i always just eyeballed it and never failed me yet

Box went in with new clutch,pressure plate and release bearing. I had gotten one but the tool was literally a WOFT...clutch coulda still move around alot even with the centering tool.

Eyeballed it and the box went in easy easy.

I find the throws between gears a bit firm tho(Not harsh but just a little firm)...never really drove a front wheel drive car that was manual(well aside from my driving exam lmao) so I was guessing its because of the cable linkage between the shifter and the box (the bends etc to reach the gearbox).

RWD cars the shifter already part of the gearbox so I guessing thats why it less firm?...well atleast from my experiences
