Shaft detent ball is supposed to be in there. I'm not a MT guru so I looked it up. It's presumably loaded with a spring, so if there's no spring that fell out, the ball likely didn't either. It looks like they have some sort of retainer on the spring in this write up.

ETA: Looks like ours would just fall out. A little scary because I think this means multiple gears can get engaged at once? I'm wondering if I should open it again and make sure its in there. I drove 2 sessions using gears 1-5 without an issue. But I had the same experience as you. No metal ball. I have a strain on my oil catch thing so I'd definitely see it.
