Well, since the BBS didn't come up with anything on this, I contacted Dr. Steve Timmins and he was gracious (and quick!) with an answer. I've reproduced it below to make this thread useful to someone else in the future.

Place the throwout on the floor on the “ears” (1)

Drop on a thin shim (2) (you may use 1 or 2, I generally use one, they are sold as replacements and the second can account for wear)

Put on the spring washer with the prongs toward the shim (3) (outer ring up and not in contact with TP

Put on the clutch pressure plate

Put on the retaining washer (6) with the beveled surface “up” (will have recess for retaining clip)

Sit down near the assembly and put your feet on the pressure plate, pushing down hard. This will flatten spring washer (3) enough to allow you to put on retaining clip (7)



When assembling the clutch make sure to put the snout of the clutch towards the flywheel contra regular 915/G50 clutch. Otherwise you will wish you had.



Assembly order is:



1) Flywheel

2) New ring gear (should hug pressure plate)

3) clutch disk

4) Pressure plate

5) 3 washers per bolt

6) 2nd ring gear

7) Bolts
