Would a universal clutch alingment tool work for a 1st gen tib?
The packaging says it would fit 95% of all frontwheel drive cars i just wanna make sure im not that 5%.
Has anyone used one?
never ever used an alighnment tool... and I have done clutches in numerous vdubs and fiats.. It is just a matter of eyeballing everything up nice and neat...
btw.. NEVER force an engine and tranny together.. This is not first hand knowledge.. but good second hand that saved me a clutch and tranny once.

If you have the old friction disc and flywheel out, you can make one using some sort of dowel (I used an old head bolt. Just tightly wrap some sort of tape (e.g. electrical tape) around the end until it fits tightly inside the pilot hole in the center of the flywheel. Then, move down the dowel/head bolt a little bit and wrap some more tape to fit inside the larger opening in the friction disc. I did this and it worked great. I had an alignment tool with my clutch, but lost it, then found it like 2 days after I put the new clutch in!
