Is my clutch install correct?

I'm replacing the clutch and discovered the PO didn't put it back together in order which is why I may have been having some shifting problems. The inner clutch hub and pressure plate alignment holes were not lined up and I think some of the washers were put in the wrong order. I believe I put it back together in right order, but the online manuals have crappy pictures.

Thanks, is there a reason way MikesXS says to install it needle bearing, thin washer, thick washer?

Note: Bearing Part #39-6505 (OEM Ref.#93341-23504) consists of - 1. the circular bearing race and 2. one thin matching washer. Parts books and manuals show this as 1 part only (not 2 pc.).
The Clutch must be assembled in Sequence shown above - Bearing with its
matching thin washer and then the thick clutch washer (thrust plate).

For assembly order I've found the fishe pretty useful. Usually clearer than the manual. Online as well.

For what it's worth.... Original Yamaha Service Manual.......... the assembly of the washers is as I described ............. xsjohn
