Message Opened my transmission casing today and found this:

You can see it had been bashing against the casing here, even the threads made a good indent:

Besides some metallic content in the oil from the casing being worn off, I'm hoping to re-assemble the trans with a new bolt and be good to go. Looks like someone may have re-used the old lock washers as the other bolts have completely flattened lock washers. The bolt belongs to the plate that sits just underneath the 5th gear. The lock washer belonging to the smashed up bolt was also found.
