    It looks a bit like a H/T lead connecting the distributor to the ignition coil. Is it an electrical component (flexible) or a rod (inflexible) of some kind?

    Nope it is solid hard grade plastic at ends and metal rod in between

    I have been advised it part of a transmission, however all image searches have proved futile

    It could be, some items look kinda similar

    There is a button on both ends which you cant see and it goes in when pressed, it broke off on one side.

    Unlikely. Gear links are flexible (cable type).

    Have to point out your username is tedtime and your talking of father jack moments?
    hmm...

    So you found a piece of something and assume it's off a corolla transmission. Any particular reason?

    I smell something fishy about this thread, not to mention only 7 posts..
