72240z Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I use a 1/2" drive extension in a pinch. Just buy one though they are dirt cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 i agree man just buy a new clutch i understand wanting to save money but a new clutch is cheap insurance your not gonna want to drop the tranny later down the line because the clutch died when you can just replace it now and be done Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have 3 or 4 transmission input shafts with the spline ends. Can't get closer than that. Not an alternative for you but if you get the chance grab one for the future. 1 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 put least a new T/O bearing. Dont be that cheap Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 if the clutch is coming out then you need a new clutch, unless you just did it in the last 10000 miles(in which case you should have saved the clutch tool!!!, lesson learned be that the case). Thats not really an opinion that is just the plain old correct way to do it, if you dont you will likely kick your self in a short period of time, and i know theres nothing i hate more than having to pull a tranny back out. short answer, yes you need an alignment tool, my guess is that autozone would possibly have them.
