Lee,
If you are fitting a multi plate clutch, Ian is 100% correct in that you need a dummy shaft or alignment tool as included in some kits.
I have an old school alignment tool which definitely accomodates Fords if you are fitting an hyper single plate unit ok.

Gary i know it aint too much fun i will prob get you to fit mine :-D
Seing as Lee is a polisher i figured offer a hand then leave the box with him for a polish before he puts it back in.
How many hours it it in the work shop usually Gary?

Lee. The Transfer box is easy. lol.

Getting the gearbox off, and then getting it back on to the dowels with out damaging shafts/ losing the release bearing is a 3 man job on a hoist.
I can imagine you really swearing :x trying it at home :lol:

Clutch arrived today and now that i have had a better look the broom handle might have done it as the two plates are keyed onto the shaft so not that much to align.
Wish me luck.......

Lee, I have the same problem and the same twin plate clutch

I don't know what you mean by 'keyed on' but the garage that fitted it, the firt time, needed a real splined shaft to align the two friction plates.

I need to borrow a Scooby input shaft from somewhere.
