I was going to change oil and filter for the transmission and when i dropped the oil pan this part was laying in one corner of the pan.
the dia.is ca 3/4 inch

no worries.that is put in there for shipping ,at the factory.it should be the same dia. as the fill tube.
It would worry me more that the fluid and filter may never have been changed???
yea, that's a fill tube plug for keeping debris out of a tranny if the dipstick tube is removed. hold onto it.
i wish i could find some of those plugs you use on the output shaft.
Thanks for clearing this guys
Actually, (as Chooglin said) it's a plug to keep debris out of the tranny
until the dipstick tube is
installed at the factory. Shove the tube in, the plug falls into the pan where it lives happily ever after. Even if the fluid & filter were changed in the past, the Jiffy-lube "mechanic" probably put it back in the pan so he wouldn't have any "left-over parts" on his cart that he couldn't identify.
