Im hoping someone can help me identify the pin or what ever this may be. Came out when I did my oil change..... ((photo attached))
I had my gear box replaced about 6,000 miles ago.
Car and gears are working fine which is also why this has me stumped. Any thoughts>?

Looks like an idler gear roller to me

which, if it is you would know about it well before an oil change

Is it a solid pin or a roll pin?

[karlos_junior]

Its solid. Its not a cotter pin (or dowel) Looks like a bearing roller pin??
Dont know how can be just one and as Sprocket say I would know about it.......or maybe I still will.....

There was someone on here a while ago that had a pop rivet come out during his oil change and said it must have dropped in the gearbox when he had it replaced. It's a possibility that's all that's happened here, if there's nothing wrong with the car.

Is it a 3 synchro ?

Maybe, thanks for the imput. Im going to go see the guy today that built up the gearbox to find out what it is..........helpfully my box doesn't self destruct on the way there!!!
