Made many a custom 944 tools over the years. Had to use this one today, made it long time ago. Any guesses?

A puller or press of some kind... but nothing obvious is coming to mind.

when doing a clutch job it can be bolted in place of the slave cylinder and the center bolt screws in to open up the pressure plate so that the torque tube will slip In to place effortlessly. Total cost…about 50 cents!

I like it! I presume you fit the TT shaft into the clutch, then screw in the bolt to allow the clutch disc to align with the pilot bearing. Yes?

I also used to use a couple of long 12mm bolts with the heads cut off (effectively studs) to get the TT in the right position for the shaft to go home. This, along with your trick tool may also be helpful.

D'oh! Why didn't I think of that! Brilliant.

yes, you will be amazed how easily the TT slips into the last inch or so!
