Default T56 help

Hey guys need some help if possible. I took my c5 t56 apart at work and put all new seals in. Well i was all done and cleaning out my co-workers drain pan when I found a roller from a needle bearing. He wasn't sure if it was already in the pan or not. I don't wanna to tear the trans back apart unless I have to. The roller is about 25 mm long and 4.5 mm diameter. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Just a guess. Could it be a case to cover alignment pin??? Did you remove the Diff case end covers to replace the O ring seal??

That is your shifter shaft detent pin. That is what goes into the bow tie looking piece with a spring that's on the front midplate.

If the transmission has been shimmed, you can remove the front cover and insert the pin and reassemble. No need to disassemble the entire transmission. Good luck.
