True. I was pretty careful installing that, as it is known to be somewhat fragile. I did use an alignment tool and it went it Ok. But I suppose maybe could be an issue. We had a hell of a time getting the shaft to line up and go in the pilot. But it went in, because you cant bolt it up unless its in there..... My master and slave came today. sometime this weekend I will install and see if I need to tear the car back apart or not.
