I think we are talking about diffent springs?

I have been experimenting with disc springs as a clutch spring, that is a different story I have not finished yet but looks promising with only the right material discs. Mayby you are confused with that?
My experience with the Spring washer, Centex clutch uses centifugal force on applying pressue on clutch disc. Setting endplay to minimum w/o spring washer made it more aggessive, to my driving style. Early centex had had small shims when assembling the thrust bearing. My adjusment come with shim at the engine bearind & collet. Not useing the spring washer or small shims w/thrust bearing.

Do what you're confortable with. Like I said been useing my adjustment for years. Everybody does things that they're confortable with.
