Is the throw out bearing supposed to ride on the pressure plate fingers
with the clutch released?

The clutch slave cylinder seems to be spring loaded to keep the throw
out bearing against the pressure plate fingers.  The pretty pictures in
the Bently manual seem to agree with this.  I see no spring to hold the
bearing back.  For some reason I expected the throw out bearing to be
pulled back when the clutch is released.

Please advise.  I just installed a new clutch and don't want to ruin it.
Thanks.
