you will need both and an alignment tool normally comes with a clutch kit and dont forget to get your fly wheel resurfaced
also i recomend you finding some help to stuff the trans and and the d300 it is a pita to do it by yourself the alignment is the big problem

ok. it'll be a few weeks before i have the money to do the job. just really wanted to get the trans out of the way for some reason. but just as a smart a$$ remark since you guys like to make fun of me for using automatics..... I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS IN AN AUTOMATIC! ;D ;D ;D

no but it would cost 5x as much when the auto goes bad and after you learn to drive a stick a clutch will last as long as an auto i know for certain if i had an auto i would have replaced more than one by now

got the trans out. the bolts came out easy but it almost seemed like the trans was fused to the bell housing. took a buddy and i shaking and pulling on it to finally break it free. removed all of the bolts on the bellhousing and the same thing. gonna get a rubber sledge hammer and beat it off this weekend.
any idea what that white stuff is on the housing? it's powdery
Bill3753:
The white power is just corrosion. On a different note, You should have left the bell housing on the trans and unbolted the bell housing from the engine to remove it all as an assembly. Technically, when swapping bell housings, or reinstalling your old one, you need to index it to centerline of the input shaft using a dial indicator.
I understand there are probably alignment dowls and such, but those only get you so close. It depends on how OCD you are if you actually decide to do the process. I know some will tell you not to worry about it. Its a procedure mostly done in high HP cars, but depending on your plans for this CJ it may be something you would want to look into.
