87 civic dx clutch install problem
Im trying to put the clutch into my car and for some reason the things wont line back up. Went back to autozone and they stated its the same part for the year span so that shouldnt be the problem. We just cant seem to get the thing to line up correctly so it can be bolted back...any ideas?

what are you having trouble lining up? The transaxle input shaft splines with the clutch disk?
If you are unsure of the clutch, take the PP off, and fit the clutch disk onto the transaxle's input shaft with the clutch not yet installed. if it fits, then the clutch disk was not lined up with the pilot hole in the flywheel. Once that's lined up it can sometimes be a pain lining up the transaxle. I recommend 2 friends for that. 2 people to position the transaxle, and one to push it in place. (you have to control 6 degrees of freedom, so 3 pairs of hands makes it immensely easier to put it in place).
