So I went to do the first transmission filter change on the 95 mustang v6 I inherited besides the fact I dropped the pan and made a mess I found something extra in the fluid. Luckily I found it before I put the pan back on. I looked and could not figure out where it went. Also I assume the filter goes in the hole that is located on the front driver side under the tranny. I didn't see where it goes because the filter was in the pan when I dropped it. Here is a pic of the part I found in the fluid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its a dust plug from the factory, it can be discarded as it was only used when the car was in production to keep dust and dirt out

Agreed, plug from the factory.
Go ahead and discard it.
