I pulled my tranny out last night, and after moving from under car I found this sitting on the ground under near where the bellhousing mates to the motor. It has clean, OE looking grease on it. Any idea what this is and where it goes?
Yeah I looked and looked and scratched and scratched. Everything else is accounted for and the car seems to be running fine. I’d chalk it up to something random/external that fell through from the top at some point, but that grease bothers me too...
There's not many bolts on a recent mazda, using a washer, where it's not captive to the fastener.
Certainly don't recognize it, what's the ID? The likely option, if it's been sitting in bellhousing gunk, somebody could have replaced a flanged bolt with a bolt and a washer at some time in the past - and dropped the washer on replacement. In this case, purposely to annoy someone in the future!
Not sure what I was thinking... but obviously no. Sorry.
As for the switches I couldn’t remember for sure. Been a while since I looked and it was the only thing I could think of that might use a washer.
I have a box of assorted washers, and this one matches one of the sizes, shapes and finishes exactly. I'm fairly certain that's where it came from.
No idea how it turned up after pulling the tranny, though. Maybe it was dropped from above at some point and was sitting on the top of the tranny. At least it doesn't appears to be something OE that is out of place.
