It looks like a ball point pen. A common writing instrument.

I mean, I'm pretty sure it is. There's some goofy thing sitting in the way, but I think that's what it is.

Good one! But not WRITE! It's just there for Scale!

As a former employee of Ford Motor Company, this is the plug from your transmission from assembly plant. This is the plug which fills the hole on your transmission housing until assembly. They simply push this into the housing when they install the filler tube. It will fall into the bottom of the trans pan and as seen here, was removed when serviced.

That was exactly what I was about to post, word for word.

I was taking a nap having one strange dream about transmissions when all the sudden I SAW IT! It was horrible! A merciless monster right out of SCI-FI spitting a fluid like saliva evaporating everything in sight.

I tell you, I am lucky to be alive!

You guys beleive me, right?

When I was working at a dealer I had a guy come in after getting a tranny filter kit and proceed to yell at me because his kit was incomplete. I tried to explain it to him and he just wanted a refund. He was going to a "better dealer who took their customers concerns seriously"
