Using a higher precision alignment tool helps minimize the issues. I know with the plastic tool the exedy kit comes with, mine was visibly off. I usually have to hold the tool up while tightening or it sags and causes it to be off.
I hear what you are "saying", but if the transmission will mate up, all that goes out the window. There is play in the pilot bearing and in the input shaft so as @jeepmor said, it is self-correcting. What am I missing?
