Please help me identify this broken part(?) from my 904!

Hi,
I been working on my 69' dart a little more. Last time time I spent some time on it I got the engine and transmission in but the car didn't have reverse. The transmission is a $40 904 off of facebook market place and I stupidly didn't check any of the adjustments before installing it (just took the pan off saw it looked pretty clean and threw it in the car). I finally got around to pulling the trans pan yesterday and found several things I need to correct:
Any ideas where my mystery chuck of metal came from? I would love to replace everything I need to while Im in here the 1st (2nd...) time.

Thank you very much! This site is extremely helpful for a newbie like me.
