I recently went though a bunch of work that started out just to replace a U-Joint. As one thing leads to another, I now have the trans out on the floor, about to replace my clutch and pressure plate.

When I loosened the bolts and let the pressure plate drop, this washer fell out. It’s slightly concaved and has a “felt looking” backing. The hole fits perfectly over the end of the transmission shaft. Any idea what it’s for? Which way it should go when I put it all back together?
