That looks like thrust washer material to me. Is the edges rolled up on on the largest piece or is it totally flat?... **** it looks big enough, see if there is a part number on it...

However I disagree. I think the 80E should with stand my power levels for quite a while. The stock 65e with Transgo I took out before the 80e actually held up to the same and quite a bit longer and more miles. Was still fine when I pulled it. I believe I am to blame for the trans failure or it was damaged in from a hard lick in an accident or something. I either screwed up the trango install. (not likely since it actually worked) or I strongly believe I screwed up, broke whatever is spitting out these bits, when I re-installed my pump after modding it for the PI converter. The first time I put the pump back in the parts underneath it weren't seated properly and I torqued the pump down on them. I think I actually broke whatever then and its been running like that ever since the first pull out of the garage. The bits were at the very bottom of the pan buried in clutch sludge. Indicating they had been there a long while.
Anyway I've decided to pull my spare from the corner and go through it and add a few upgraded parts to it and throw it in. Whatever is wrong with the one in it will be a mystery for a while. I'll eventually tear it down and see and rebuild it.

Pardon my stupidity but is the thrust washer the bigger round piece or the smaller diameter piece. If its the bigger piece I know its not from that. Its to thick. The picture isn't real clear but both sides aren't raised. Its dead flat and one side is raised. It could possibly be a piece off the smaller diameter part that looks what I would call a thrust bearing.
