Need help identifying a part

Pulled the engine and gearbox out of my 2002 R53 and this fell out. Blue plastic. Where does it go?

Mine was missing and I drove for years that way; however, my CVT had a horrible rubber band start issue related to the hidden and missing part.

Lucky catch on your part.
