Hello everybody,
I think that is my very first post here.
Anyway, I have some problems with my C6 Tranny, it won’t shift when it’s cold and it feels like I have a big load on my F150.
I decided to change the filter and oil and found that little part in the pan.
Please take a look at the pictures, maybe there is someone who knows what it is and where it got to be in the transmission?
thanks in advance

That's a plug that gets inserted into the filler tube during manufacturing, it gets pushed through and falls to the bottom upon initial fill-up, It is nothing important at this point and is ignorable.
That is the dipstick hole plug. It is put in the hole where the dipstick would go at the transmission factory. When the transmission is installed in a truck at the truck assembly plant the dipstick tube is pushed into the hole and this plug falls into the pan. The first person to remove the pan always asks, "What is this part?"
Throw it in the trash. But it does mean that you are most likely the first person to take the pan off since this transmission was installed in the truck!
