transmission guys, need a little help

Lance, is this piece hard and hollow like a roll pin or could it be just some rolled up band/drum material? Where's all the trans guy's opinions when you need'um.....lol.

its all good Rick, i guess we dont have to many folks that do their own transmissions. it was brittle like a piece of wire casing or something weird. at first i thought it was a roll pin as well, but it snapped in two very easily. it may have just been some debri that got in there somehow. i adjusted the bands and put it back together, same problem, but screw it, i will just drive it till she blows :D
