It's on the outer edge, near the gears. Not sure if it's on the inside or outside.

That's what they (the dealer) put in mine the first go-round (was supposed to be an 'I'). It made no difference so I pulled it to check ... sure enuf, it wasn't an 'I' so I made them get me an 'I' but I put it in myself coz I already had it apart.

Still dont know why if the 1st gens dont have the noise issue, why couldnt one of those be put in and used.

If a guy could take both gears then it probably would. That said, who says the 1st gen's didn't? My 85 had a helluva whine between 2900 and 3100 rpm and I'm certain it was the clutch basket gears, just like the 2nd gens.

I honestly think they just made higher quality parts back then which is why the Japanese made (?) Baskets are quieter but the new American star line probably had a wider specification to go with the gear lash
