Re: interlock rollers

["Thomas Moll" <moltek@domain.elided>]

They are the interlock 'footballs' and there need to be three of them. If
one is missing you will find the transmission shifting 'strange'
occasionally. I once found one of these funny looking little parts on the
drain plug magnet of a transmission I rebuilt myself six months earlier. Any
ideas on how in the world that happened!?
