what the heck is this.?.
 

a guy on a motorcycle board I belong to found this in his garage under his bike. not sure if its off the bike, or his car, or lawnmower or kids leggo set.

i have made it a mission in life to figure out what it is.. i think i've seen one before i just can't remember where.
here's a link:

so far i've posted it on a tropical fish message board and had 30 guesses but no positive i.d.'s.

with that o-ring looking thing on it looks kind of like some kind of needle valve stim.

Dayum fuzzy picture!

But, it looks like the plug that goes in the auto trans filler tube hole. The plug is put in on manufacture, then when the filler tube is installed, they just punch it into the trans pan.

So they have landed then.

A widget.

Weapon of Mass Destruction, trigger?

I concur.....definatly a widget.

flux capacitor has the most votes at 3, so thats probably what it is. now all we need is a delorean. course if we put a stang motor in it, it wont take as long to hit 88 miles an hour.

No No No! You are ALL WRONG! It is a low fluid indicator for horn fluid. I have replaced tons of these on blonde cheerleaders, and ricer's cars at school. VERY EXPENSIVE PIECE ;)

Light Em Up!!:)
