I just got done dropping my tranny and replacing my clutch and when i went to reinstall the tranny and bolting the clutch pack to the back of the flywheel i cant seem to get all 4 bolts aligned together alls i can get is 2 at the most:hmm:

Any reason or tips that will make all 4 bolts align better or easier?

Are you tightening them up and them moving to the next or are you leaving them loose and installing them? With a setup like that you need to thread them in but leave them loose until you get all of them in than tighten them one by one.
 
I have tried doing that just keeping one by one loose and even tried all sorts of tigtening amounts i can think of and nothing seems to keep the clutch aligned i can get at the most 2 in and the last two are offset by just a hair amount to where i cant get them threaded
 
Try turning the clutch so you thread the bolt through a different hole to see if all 4 holes lines up
 
I ended up getting it: there was a hole next to one of the bolt holes on the flywheel and a little notch on the clutch right next to a threaded hole and i lined that hole on the flywheel to the one on the clutch and all four lined up perfect
