Is there a spacer that would solve this? Or would that cause more isssues? I guess I need to pull it and check the back of the basket to make sure it’s not warped?

Update
I flushed the gearbox and used Castrol XL30, expensive but it made the screeching sound go away. Must have been low, and the still-spinning gears in neutral didn't like it.
The bike still has a very slight grind into first, and it was popping out of gear. I opted to not race it this weekend as the starts would have been impossible in this condition. After talking to Dean Newton at a local race, he suggested tightening the main shaft nut which I did and that tiny adjustment did seem to improve it. It may be at this point that I just need to work on the clutch and throttle control to get it right, and get used to this bike as I am used to Triumphs.
I will keep updating, if you all don't mind. It helps me to keep the chronology straight and perhaps it will help someone having the same issue in the future.
