Default Clutch release bearing shims.

I have a Sachs clutch kit sitting here it has the throwout bearing pressure plate and clutch. It has 3 shims 1 notched washer and 1 washer that has fingers on the inside and it has a concave side.
How do these shims go on? I can't tell from pictures, and I won't have one to compare it to when I install this one. I couldn't find the order of the washers and shims in the PET or the factory manual.

Thanks!

Throw out bearing, shims (probably only 2 will fit), toothed washer, pressure plate, concave washer, spring clip.

When I put the toothed washer (which is the one that is concave) on top of the shims all the shims fit under the cone of this washer and don't seem to do anything. Which was does the toothed concave washer go onto the throw out? Concave down looks right to me, but I never know anymore.

But it looks like the washer with the shelf on it goes upside down so that the clip can sit onto the lower shelf? Seems right.

You won't know if the shims all fit until you try and put the snap ring in. The teeth should point towards the shims (concave side on the pressure plate). The big thick washer goes on the other side of the pressure plate and can really only go one way in order for the spring clip to fit.
