Scott-  The early cars (pre 6/90?) don't have the dampener.  I suspect
this device was added mid-production year when the failures of the input
shaft bearing first starting occurring.  Of course, the correct fix was
using the "S" bearing which was (finally) incorporated starting with the
'92 model years B/L models.  If you don't abuse the clutch, you shouldn't
have any problem, with or without the dampener.
