Part looks to be missing from top of gearbox/gear selector

Post by batsm »

I am in the process of doing a clutch change on my MR2 and as I was putting it back together I noticed this part that I've circled in the image, on top of the gear selector housing that looks to be shiny, as though it normally has something on it, but I have no idea what it is! Is anyone able to tell me as I'm worried something might have been broken :crybaby:

It's a 1998 Rev 5 n/a for context

Any help is greatly appreciated, cheers

Yeah looks to be some sort of cap on it there, guess I'll see if I can find it on the floor somewhere otherwise I'm gonna just run it and hope for the best 😅
