I've attached a picture of the clutch assy. for the 244. Seems most clutches I've installed, the flat side of the disc goes towards the flywheel. And I do believe all that I've installed had "flywheel side" marked/painted on the center hub.
However in this picture, looks like the protruding center hub goes towards the flywheel, unless it is the same way on the other side.

Did you check the pressure plate for broken springs..?? Maybe the PO when installing that clutch forced it together, pulling it back together with bolts, and things not exactly lined up distorted one or the other..?
