Ball, 3/8 in. diam.
A 3/8 in. diameter steel detent ball used in the gearbox outer cover assembly.
This is a 3/8 in. diameter steel ball that lives in the gearbox outer cover assembly. It shows up in the parts books under the gearbox outer cover and lever figures, where balls of this type are commonly used as detents for the selector or plunger mechanism, giving the gear-change linkage a positive feel as it moves between positions.

The older factory number for this part was 60-2368, later renumbered to 57-1771 (also seen written as T1771 in earlier-style parts books). If you're working from an older book and find 60-2368 listed, that's the same physical ball as this one.
It's a small, simple piece but one that's easy to lose track of during a gearbox strip-down. Catalog listings for this ball span 1964 through 1970, so check your gearbox outer cover carefully against the parts diagram before ordering to make sure the detent ball in your unit matches this size.
