you mean the gear did not come out?
See if you can get it out. Most likely you will need to drop the trans and seperate it.

I have been trying to get it out for the last hour. And pulling the trans out right now is not really an option, is there another way around to open it up still on the car?

Nope, trans has to come out.

I've swapped the clutch once, and put a diff trans in alreayd. I'm familiar with it, just a majority of my tools are at work. Plus no drop lights or anything else here. I do appreciate the info. Hopefully I can find some way of pulling it out and then taking it apart. Definetly not what I wanted to do considering its my only car that runs right now, work in about 10 hrs too. Lol. Well, off to work I go I guess.

DO NOT just leave it and start the car and roll w/ it. It'll screw up almost everything and it grings that gear up and turns everything white with its fine plastic particles everywhere. Tims right tho, if u don't have access to fibre optics w/ a needle nose pliers end, trans has to be seperated. That's why in the VSS or 3.55 wiki writeup to pull the VSS "carefully" to avoid just this very situation

I did try and pull it very carefully, after looking at the old "top" piece, the clip had broken. I was going very slowly and straight up and out. But, it adds on to my week.as it sits, I nearly have the tranny out. Taking a breather, covered in dirt and doing it all with a flashlight. It'll be out with in the hour, I'll drain it and then bring it on my back porch and disassemble it. Anything I need to worry about in particular when taking it apart and putting it back together? I've never been fond of taking trannys apart.

Good luck man.
I actually have some pictures of what will happen if you leave the speedo gear loose in the trans somewhere, if you'd like to see them

So, I got the tranny out, I had to stop last night, worked today, it was below freezing here in fl. When I went inside. My question now, through searching and searching, mind you I am only able to use my phone, laptop took a huge one on me. Could anyone send me a lindk to open up the tranny, is there anything I have to worry about when I go to open it up? Piece falling out? Preferably is there some write up on it? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
