i was trying to fix my speed sensor. and i was able to undo the bolt, then pull up on the sensor. the little black gear was stuck to the end of the sensor, and i assume it was supposed to come out. so i pulled and jiggled and turned and it wouldn't come out. then clunk. it fell off and got turned around in there. now its stuck off to one side of the hole and i can't get it out. help!

any help would be appreciated. In the next couple days, i will be removing more parts of my car like my intake and battery stand to access the sensor easier.

Remove the battery, battery tray, battery tray bracket, washer fluid res, and brake res and bracket. You move the brake fluid res out of the way, don't bother to remove the lines and all. Try to fish it out with a piece of bent wire or some long needle nosed pliars.. if you can't get it out, be prepared to drop the trans and crack it open. Yopu don't want that platic gear getting chewed up all through your transaxle.

Every time i've seen a speed sensor removed, the gear came with it unless it had to be fished out with some pliers... SO it is my assumption that its supposed to come out in one piece.

wow i had the same problem just today, it got stock, and i rolled the car a bit to se if it got loose and *surprise* the gear portion of my sensor sunk in my tranny like a coin. luckyly i have two sensors. still that crap is in the bottom of the tranny. i called a mechanic friend and he said it wouldn't do anything extecpt get crushed into pieces.
still i would like some feedback should i keep driving till the plastic desintegrates or should i split the tranny and get it out ?

The speed sensor turns on a seperate plastic ring gear on the diff housing itself. it's a $3 part, just the install that gets you.

That wasn't a good idea. Now, those little plastic chunks are going to be all inside your tranny. If it were metal, itd be one thing because it'd just stick to the trash magnet, bit now you're going to have plastic pieces in your syncro rings and gear teeth. probably won't do any major damage, but'll probably make it hard to shift every so often when something gets stuck near a shift fork or syncro ring, if any gets stuck anywhere.
Part number M04797316, MTX speedo gear.
