Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't need to change the clutch. It was not removed.....only the ZF so not sure how a clutch alignment tool would help if the clutch was not touched in the process. I think I just need to keep trying to align the teeth....rotationally vs the alignment. Make sense? Thanks, Mike

You really do need a clutch alignment tool like this one.
