Haynes manual is WRONG!

[baselope@netwide.net (Robert Riley)]

Fellow Listers....
   First off, thanks for all of the replies concerning the pressure 
bleeding of my clutch (87 Coupe GT).  Unfortunately, none of the bleeding 
techniques worked.  I finally determined that the clutch slave cylinder 
was extending to its maximum, but was not engaging the clutch.
  So, yesterday, my Birthday :),  I dismantled the clutch again and found 
the problem.
This is I M P O R T A N T if you happen to be using a Haynes manual,  the 
picture showing the clutch disc and the pressure plate is  W R O N G!   
The picture shows the shoulder of the clutch plate as being out towards 
the pressure plate.  It should go towards the flywheel.

I just thought everyone should know.  It sure would have saved me time 
and effort if the picture had been right.

P.S.  the clutch now works perfectly, with no further bleeding.
