What is the Star/Torx Bolt on the bottom of the manual trans
I recently learned its not the drain bolt (although some MTF came out).
Anyone know what it is? Or if I screwed up anything by opening it?

I did exactly the same thing last year. Although a ball bearing goes in there, nothing came out of my car apart from oil. Afterwards my gear changes (cold) were decidedly more notchy. I changes the oil again for some Motul and it was a lot better. I believe that it is only used for gearbox assembly but happy to be proved wrong..

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.

Check my sig line for a link to @fireblaze's manuals. I've never been in that spot so I don't have anything more to offer. Seems odd to have a detent ball with no spring but that's what the IPB and the disassembly procedure specifies. Maybe it's an indexing/lock mechanism to allow only rotation of the shaft.
