Similarly, I had a VSS crap out in a Taurus SHO. It just created shifting malfeasance, but did not hurt the car. Once it was replaced, the car was fine, with no damage.
 
there is a large inch size drill that you can use manually or with a power drill to "ream" out the hole and easily with draw the tss.

it just takes a very small effort, one second or so with the right size bit.

you really don't even need an electric drill, just buy or borrow the right size big inch bit and ream the hole out with it being held in some vise grips

i guess it would take a bit of faith to break off the external parts then ream the hole and pull the rest out. i accidently broke off the external parts and had to do it. but it came right out.

again the standard large inch bit is exactly the right size to ream out the hole.
