That is your thrust washer.

its box off and maching to repair...

I would probably source a 2nd hand box, be easier.

When I swapped mine, I did the thrust washer while it was off the car, as it is an easy job BEFORE it has done any damage,

Check my sig for a link to the maint guide index where we do have a how to for this job.

They are both AR25, so would work - however, would recommend you fit an AR35 from a 3.0 :y

bell housing would be different as well as torque convertor, but the box is the same. But you really want an AR35 so you can chip it back to full BMW spec

Think the OP has a petrol mig. If that`s the case, no need to search for an AR35

Ah yes, just seen that.

Although - I wouldn't source an AR25 that's been on a TD... it will be a ticking timebomb...
