Collecting the Part

The Automatic Gear is found on a ledge near the landing site, where you have to build a twig to get it. As it is in a high place, Pikmin get deflowered when they fall off the edge while carrying it. The treasure glitch is also likely to occur due to the long drop, to avoid your Pikmin getting deflowered the player can call them back just as they are walking off the border. Another useful method is to simply walk away. If the Pikmin are off-sight, they will not get deflowered. This technique is also useful for getting other ship parts in the game. Due to several Shearwigs being in the area where the Pikmin fall, Olimar must take precautions to ensure no Pikmin deaths.
