That looks like one of three ball/spring detents (not sure thats the
right nomenclature) for the 1st & 2nd gear changer assembly.
There's two more somewhere. Maybe still in place, maybe not.
Probably why you have a dodgy 2nd gear. <br>

<pre wrap="">I drained the oil from the ribcase in my rolling wreck '72 Midget and found this in the old oil. I changed the oil just because I didn't know what the previous owner(s) had in there. The trans shifts just fine, but has a dodgy 2nd gear synchro. I'm gonna keep driving it. It is the rolling wreck after all. :-)
