Pull the pan. It'll be laying in the bottom. There is a clip and washer that is missing and allowed it to fall down.

There is a small washer that goes under that clip. Over time the clip will probably eat into the seal without the washer. Those seals tend to leak on older transmissions so now would be a decent time to replace them. There is one for the shift shaft and another for the kickdown/passing gear shaft. Pretty cheap.
