Ah yes, my clutch’s star-shaped thrust washer has indeed somehow “sunk” into the hub, so that at first I thought it was missing. Presumably this is the effect of a steel washer being tightened at 186 Nm (aka “EFT”) onto an alloy centre. Now I understand what was meant by it having “worn and moved outwards”, many thanks for the explanation! Time for a new centre and thrust washer...
