1 What is this washer? Sun Aug 04, 2013 10:15 pm

I'm doing a rear main seal/o-ring replacement along with a spline lube and replacing pretty much every bit of rubber from the engine to the final drive right now. I had just finished putting the transmission back on when I noticed a washer on the ground that I don't recall taking out. My camera's broken right now so I unfortunately don't have any pictures, but it's 40mm outside diameter, around 33mm inside diameter, and 1.5mm thick. It looks like it's made of copper.
At first I thought it might have been the thrust washer - #10 in the lower left in this pic:

but it seems too thick for that - those are 1mm or 1.25mm. Also my K100 was built in late 1984 and I've read that thrust washer isn't present on some of the earlier Ks.
Any ideas? Thanks everyone! This forum has been a huge help as I work my way through this whole procedure.
