After pulling the engine out of my XJ8 3.2 litre Sport, I noticed oil was spilling out of the torque converter, and this funny looking metal piece and a spring was lying amidst the oil pool; 60mm in length (45mm for the spring).
I’m quite certain it belongs between the gearbox and the converter, but have no idea as to the orientation.
Hi,
I have determined that this has noting to do with the converter / transmission, and have put the engine back in the car. Hopefully, when connecting up the various bits and pieces it will become clear where it came from…
