Default metal in 31TH transmission

HI:

Wondering if anyone could help identify these metal pieces I found in the pan of my wife's van. This is a 1994 Caravan with a 3 speed auto. The pieces are non-magnetic, so I assume it is a bushing or washer for something. The transmission performs normally, except it occasionally has slow/erratic shifts from 1st to 2nd gear.

It looks like the thrust bushing for the sun gear. Be sure to remove the governor and clean the pistons and valves.

Okay, thanks for the input. Looks like I probably caught it in time before too much damage was done anyway.
