To JWL's point "Correct, a transmission input shaft or tool with the same dimensions will locate the clutch disc."
What I did on my assembly was to leave the transmission's input shaft out of the transmission until I assembled the clutch assembly to the flywheel. I used it as an alignment tool as I do not do many tranny assemblies and this got around buying a tool I may never use again. Much easier to work with than the whole weight of the transmission.
My father-in-law who did do a lot of this work would get a whole bunch of different input shafts cut off the ends of worn out transmissions for practically free at the wrecking yard to use as alignment tools, but the days of finding these old trannys in the wreckers are past I am afraid!
