Alright I have been having problems with my tranny locking into and outta gears randomly. So I ordered a new and pulled the old one today. but I wanna know if the old one looks normal. It looks like a chunk has broken off in the part were the shifter goes.

looks like some kinda filler has been put in the transmission were the hole is. it is not as smooth as the rest of the metal.

this is the hole I am wondering about
