A simple stepped rod which aligns the driven plate centre with the spigot bearing in the flywheel. I've seen them turned from broom handles, sockets of an appropriate size, an old input shaft etc. They're cheap enough and made of plastic these days. You can even hire them. Why is it important? Without it, it is virtually impossible to get the gearbox back on without causing damage to the input shaft and/or the spigot bearing. You could eyeball it but you only get one chance not to foul it up

How To line The clutch up?
You can buy an alignment tool that centers the clutch disc. If you buy a complete clutch kit with the clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing there should be a plastic one with it. If just changing the disc, get it in place and start all the bolts holding the pressure plate on. Tighten them till the pressure plate just touches the clutch disc. The disc should be the same diameter as the pressure plate or just slightly smaller. Feel around the edge of the pressure plate till you have it centered. Tighten the bolts holding the pressure plate and finish putting the transmission in. This is usually close enough to allow the transmission to bolt up. Even with an alignment tool, you should do this because the tool doesn't hold the clutch disc exactly centered.

Easiest thing for me is to remove the transmission first. Then you can get to the pressure plate and the clutch. Its a simple matter of a few bolts coming off. Remove the plate and then install a new clutch and pressure plate. I would highly suggest you replace the alignment bearing and the throw out bearing at the same time. An alignment tool comes with most new kits for the plate. Us this to line up the splines into the clutch plate and bearing.
How do you install clutch Jeep Wrangler sport?
simple, but involved. You'll need to remove the transmission and transfer case ( do it separately as they are quite heavy together ) You 'll see the clutch attached to the flywheel still on the engine, remove the bolts holding it on ( pay attention to it's orientation as well as the clutch disk, hole placement as it will be easier to line up the new one ) Once the old one is removed, line up the new clutch ( use an alignment tool, your new clutch may come with one, this makes sure the clutch disk is lined up with the pilot bearing and the center of the clutch springs. tighten the clutch to torque specs, remove the alignment tool, and reinstall the trans. One note, I suggest replacing the throw out bearing ( this may include the clutch slave cylinder too ) before reinstalling, you don't want to do this again soon.
