I found a loose part in my trans during the 30k mile service. Looks like a hemisphere with an o ring on it and a stem out the back. Looks like it could be a dust plug they would put in before the trans is installed then gets pushed into the pan. Any ideas? I need to get it back together and leave in an hour.

Generally at Ford that little plug was from the speedo drive. Toss it.

It is a plug used to seal the fill tube hole on the tranny between the time the tranny is built, and when it is intalled. Then they apparently just jab the fill tube in and let the plug fall in the pan. I'm sure you can safely toss it.

Bob is right on. It is known as a shipping plug and is shoved in when the dipstick tube is put in at final assembly. The transmission is filled at the manufacturing plant. In order to prevent damage to the dipstick tube they are installed when the transmissions are bolted to the engines. The assembly worker just pushes the tube down over the stem on the lollipop and continues to push the plug into the transmission and the tube into the hole where the plug was.

New model transmissions do not have dipstick tubes since they are filled for life. They can be serviced through a special port in the bottom of the pan. They have gone this way because a problems occured when the vehicle was serviced and incorrect fluid was used to top-off the transmission.

Does this mean that down the road the owner cannot check/add trans fluid? Sooner or later it will develop a leak and need checked. Does not sound like a "better idea" to me. Especially at 200,000 miles or so with a leaky seal.
