Who makes a good clutch alignment tool, not the plastic crap that sags from the waight of the clutch, trying to get my TKO to line up and it wont, I think its because of this.

Rick,

I'll bet it won't go in that last 3/8" right? I initially had trouble getting my TKO lined up and seated completely as well. In the end I pushed the trans in as far as it would go, then had a friend get in the car and press in the clutch. This freed the clutch from the pressure plate and allowed me to move the trans and completely seat it in the pilot bearing. Trust me, I fought that sucker for an hour or so and with the clutch disengaged it popped right in!

HTH,
Dan

carquest or any others like kd tool will offer a good aligment tool for around 25 bucks, with a bunch of adapters, these work great too for removing pilot bushing, fill her with grease and use biggest adapter possible and plunk sshes out, anyways good luck
