Title: Clutch alignment tool for M20?
Post by: bflan2001 on September 22, 2011, 10:36:20 PM

I'm piecing together an m20 clutch kit and I'm buying the alignment tool from pelican. Do I need the M20 tool or the M42 tool?

edit: second question, i can't find exactly what size flywheel bolts i need for the m20 flywheel. any ideas?

for the alignment tool, it depends on your build date. if your car was built before Sept. 1990, you need the 12mm tool (and pilot bearing). if built after that date, you need the 15mm tool and pilot bearing.

for the flywheel bolts, the proper length is 28mm. this is for the E21 M20 flywheel, i'm not sure if you need the same size bolts for the E30 M20 flywheel.
