[grga]

the clutch on my truck needs replacing,

im a weekend offroader with a stock 2000 sr5, is it worth it for me to go with an aftermarket clutch? and how much am i lookin at for an aftermarket???

The "Alignment tool" takes the place of the transmission input shaft when installing a clutch and centers the clutch disk between the flywheel and pressure plate so that the splined hole through the clutch disk is centered on the pilot bearing in the flywheel. This makes it much easier to reinstall the transmission. The "throwout bearing" usually is clipped to the throwout fork and presses against the pressure plate fingers to release or engage the clutch. You really need to get a service manual with pictures and everything will be much clearer.
