Another point that may or may not be helpful : I found the plastic alignment
tool to be nearly worthless, because it was too loose a fit in both the
clutch plate and the pilot bearing. I can do just as good a job by feeling
with my fingers. A spare (ruined) input shaft makes a much better alignment
tool, IMO.
Personally, I don't use nuts/bolts to draw the gearbox up at all. Just
wiggle it around until it slides into place.
