Key Features
- 23-spline x 1" hub diameter -- matches Ford MT-82 stock input shaft specifications
- .670" pilot diameter -- seats securely in MT-82 pilot bearing bore
- Holds clutch disc centered during pressure plate bolt-down -- prevents misalignment and binding
- Essential tool for any MT-82 clutch installation -- eliminates the frustration of shifted discs
Description
Installing a clutch disc and pressure plate is an exercise in frustration when the disc shifts out of alignment mid-bolt-down. Without proper centering, the transmission input shaft won't engage the clutch disc splines -- leaving you to unbolt everything and start over. This precision alignment tool eliminates that problem by replicating the exact dimensions of the Ford MT-82's 23-spline input shaft, holding your clutch disc perfectly centered until the job is done.
The tool's 23-spline x 1" hub slides through the clutch disc splines just like the transmission input shaft, while the .670" pilot diameter locks into the pilot bearing bore in the crankshaft. This dual engagement keeps everything concentric -- the disc can't shift while you torque down the pressure plate bolts in a crisscross pattern. Once the pressure plate is secured, simply remove the alignment tool and slide the transmission into place. The input shaft will engage the clutch disc splines smoothly, without the wrestling match that comes from a misaligned installation.
Designed specifically for Ford MT-82 transmissions found in 2011-2020 Mustangs (V8 and V6 models), this tool is a must-have for any clutch service. Whether you're upgrading to a performance clutch or replacing worn components, proper alignment is non-negotiable for a clean transmission installation.
