What the hell is this?

Is the mysterious item flexible or ridged.

If it is flexible I would go with the assumption of a spring of some sort. Likely from the seal when it was replaced.

If it is ridged and formable than it is most likely a metal chip from some machining. It could have been stuck on something for a while and just broke loose. This is very uncommon but possible.

Keep us posted.

I am nearly 652% sure that it is the seal spring Tom and I mentioned. It will be very hard to tell from the outside which seal it is unless it is pooling gear oil. There is a very good chance it would be which ever side was being worked on.

I too think and hope that it is a piece of spring. One thing that I have learned is to not ASSume anything and that the most likely answer is not always right. Beside the SVX has been know to do strange things.
