Detailed Description

The Dorman 14505 clutch alignment tool is made to position the clutch disc correctly during manual transmission clutch service. Its 22-spline profile and 0.938 in spline diameter match the specified applications, helping the disc align with the transmission input shaft before the pressure plate is secured. This reduces guesswork during service on vehicles such as the Mazda Miata, Mazda MX-6, Ford Probe, and Ford Ranger.

Because this is a specific-fit tool, it is intended for the listed applications rather than universal use. The Dorman 14505 part number is also useful when cross-checking service references or ordering by OE-style interchange numbers.

What It Helps Solve

• Clutch disc misalignment during installation
• Difficulty centering the disc before tightening the pressure plate
• Transmission input shaft engagement issues after clutch service
• Repeat clutch removal caused by improper alignment
• Fitment confusion when servicing Mazda, Ford, Mercury, or Volvo manual transmission applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the clutch disc spline count and spline diameter before use. Insert the tool through the clutch disc and into the pilot area as required by the service procedure, then align the disc before tightening the pressure plate evenly. Confirm the vehicle application against the fitment list for the Dorman 14505 before beginning service.
