Re: Unidentified part

That is a needle thrust bearing - commonly referred to by the trade name "Torrington" for the manufacturer who employed it's inventor Edmund K. Brown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrington_Company

It could fit any of millions of different machines made from their introduction in the 1930's to present day. They are often found inside automatic transmissions and steering columns - including the types used in third gen's. That is not to exclude other possibilities but I must admit I don't know of any other places on a third gen you would find one of those.
