250-500cc uh oh, wheres this go? 2006 wr 250 tranny part

hey folks, anyone recognize this lil bugger? im replacing the crank bearings in my 2006 wr 250, pulled the tranny out to put the cases in a press, lifted the gears out & heard plink! i think it goes on one of the shift forks, and rides in the shift drum? theres only one of these that i can see, and it doesnt seem to fit anywhere else? just wondering if someone more observant than i happened to know? heres the offending piece;




oh and for the record its late & im tired, so any errors ive made in posting this, not using the search, etc, are null & void thanks guys(and gals)

Well, that´s new to me. Im seen similar part on the power valve of mu 94 WR 360 but do not reckon seen this inside my 2001 Wr 250...

It looks like the rolling bush from the gear selector assembly Wheelie.
Try using halls parts diagrams for the 06 WR 250 to locate it

Checked page by page of the manual and could find nothing similar inside the tranny...

Looks like the bushing that goes on the pin on the shift fork like you said.But that raises the ? of what's on the other forks. The other place would be the shift mech as was said, but you said it fell out as you pulled the gears.So let us know what the other forks have on them, and how loose or snug the fork fits in the drum slots.A pic of everything in the trans may help us too. Use any wear marks for indicators of a possible location.Or did you know that. Ha ha

I believe the end goes into a bearing.

thanks guys, im 98% sure motosportz is right, that it rides in the shift drum, i think theres only one bushing because one of the slots in the shift drum is larger than the others. im sure i'll figure it out for sure when i put it back together, it cant be that complicated, its just a carburated 2-stroke! now if i could just get my hands on a wr 360 6 speed while its apart...

Did anyone know for sure where this goes? I looked in the parts manual and it does not have a line going to where it goes?

Thanks!

Almost sure it goes over the projection in the shift fork and rides in the shift drum. It acts to take up space between the two parts. Drop it on the shift fork tab and see if it fits perfectly in the shift drum. without it the fork will be loose in the drum.

The pictures below show where the part goes. A big thanks to UpTite.

awesome! thanks so much, haven't gotten my motor together yet (work... ick) but i'll get there!
