One suggestion: When you use the centering tool (plastic or otherwise),
tilt the tool all the way up then all the way down, then do the same from
side to side, then split the difference with the tool in place when you
tighten the pressure plate bolts. I personally go through this routine at
least 2 or 3 times to make sure I am as close to the center position as
possible.
One question: Why do you think the metal input shaft is harder to use than
the plastic tool? The input shaft is much longer than the plastic tool
and you can get a better feel for finding the center position when moving
it through its range of motion as you align the disc.
