On my never ending quest to rebuild my '73 SIII 88.. I've finally gotten to the Tranny/TC. I've been degreasing the combo and was hoping to simply fit new shaft seals and re-use it as is, since both the Trans & TC worked fine before I stripped the car down. I've drained the oil from both and discovered this little chunk in the Trans drain plug.

Now I may need to consider a rebuild of these units as well.. (why not everything else has needed it, I just can't seem to catch a break.)
I haven't taken the top off the tranny yet to see where it came from.. but let's see if anyone can predict where this sacrificed little piece came from.. I'll report back w/ the actual damaged component later.. :-)
