Subject:      Clutch release bearing shaft return spring?

I've finally gotten around to putting the transaxle back in my "new 83".

My question:  Is there a return spring on the release bearing shaft
on hydralic models?

This one has none. I can't see one on my 87.  Bentley shows none (but
that does not always mean anything). My 77 manual clutch does.  Is
this the correct situation for a 83 hydralic?  If so what returns the
release bearing after engagement?  Does it just stay in contact and
wear the bearing?

Thanks

Steve

By the way,  I welded the  slave unit attachement bolt to the bracket
so it wouldn't be such a bitch to re-attach the slave unit. (If
you've replaced a slave you know what I mean).
