Dunno what it is called but it sure looks like the oring that is sandwiched between the cases that sits atop the oil pump journal.

Maybe this will be more help

I agree,I just dont recall this o ring in the tranny,its been more than ten years since Ive had a kz apart so I dont recall everything

Did You have Your oil pump off?

You have to remove the oil pump to split the cases. The oring sits atop the lower case as the lower case will be pointing upwards when you split the cases, generally. It wouldn't much matter if the pump was in place or not. I think there is another oring associated with the pump directly where it fits to the cases but can't recall for sure.

Which model bike do you have?

I checked the manual and the only two places I see an O-ring like this are between the two case halves and where the oil pump bolts on, like WiredGeorge said. That's for a KZ1000.
