John, in a pinch what I've used for an alignment tool is a shaft that fits the pilot bushing hole and then I used electrical tape to make a layer large enough in diameter to just fit inside the clutch disk. Very crude looking but I've used it a half dozen times and it works just fine. The key is the shaft has to be the same diameter as the end of your transmission input shaft.

Not pretty but it works!
