had a bolt come undone from the starter plate and was flopping around inside the bell housing of the transmission. along with this bolt i also found other metal debris when i removed the flywheel/inspection cover and thought was the clutch retaining collar, but tis not. upon removal of the transmission everything seems in tacts: TOB, fork, flywheel has no damage, clutch disc has some damage from that bolt flopping around in there but nothing resembles the metal pieces. same with pressure plate, only visible damage are small scratches and cant find anything that resembles these pieces, and retaining clip is also in one piece no damage.




would appreciate identifying what the frekk this is, much thanks

 

Yeah, thats is an issue for sure. Looks like a splined shaft washer / spacer. Further investigation is certainly needed!

I know im pointed out the obvious but it shouldnt be that difficult to ID that washer

 

i have no idea
