BSA Bush, layshaft first gear
Bush for the layshaft first gear, fitted inside the gear cluster of the gearbox.
This is the bush for the layshaft first gear, listed under part number 40-3262. It shows up in the gear cluster section of the parts books, where it sits inside the gearbox between the layshaft and first gear pinion, letting that gear turn freely on the shaft rather than binding against it directly.

The catalog data we have covers appearances from 1969 to 1970, but we don't have enough detail here to tie it to a specific model beyond that. If you're rebuilding a gear cluster and this bush is worn, it's worth checking the layshaft itself for scoring at the same time, since a worn bush often means a marked-up shaft.
Call the shop and we'll confirm fitment against your gearbox before you order.
