transmission question - I screwed up :/

[thad_]

hey guys,

Doing a drain and fill on the transmission and, from the passenger side I started to loosen the filter - or I thought I was loosening the filter. Turns out, I loosened this little 10mm bolt. It pinches 2 pieces of flat steel that fit into some graduated steps.

Question - how bad is this? Have I reassembled it correctly? What is the torque spec on that 10mm bolt once I've reassembled it correctly?

Thanks!!!

Looks like it's called a detent spring and a detent spring cover?

That is just the detent spring to give your shifter a positive "click" into the gear selected. The only thing it affects is that, no other moving parts. Even if removed, your shifter will still engage a gear, just not be held in position.
