    I am looking for a 360/ 430 clutch alignment tool. The splines on the two cars are the same. the only part I can find is the one from Ricambi but it has no clutch splines on it!!!

    What good is a clutch alignment tool with no splines cut into it!? Although we are using it with a twin plate clutch so thats why we need it.

    Does the OEM Ferrari tool have the spline cut?

    I would recommend getting a spline shaft from a wrecked transmission.

    The tool doesn't need splines. In fact the factory tool has no splines. I made one out of some a 25mm round stock (IIRC the largest dimension is 24mm) aluminum turned down on a lathe. You can make a very worthwhile tool from a wooden dowel. I don't have them with me but the measurements to make one are in the workshop manual.

    So why do you need splines on the tool? The tool's job is to center the clutch and you do not need splines for that.

    Good luck with the twin plate clutch. Hope it is a manual transmission car.

    Absolutely. I do it ALL the time when I dont have a clutch aligning tool. :):)

    Did my 348 twin plate by eye a few years ago too. :eek::eek:
