My daughter's car started switching gears violently and then the speedometer stopped working and the car would not shift out of 1st gear. When I pulled the speed senor out of the top of the transmission, the pin/cable did not come out with the senor. It had broken off from the sensor housing and is still stuck in the transmission port.
I have tried a magnet, but the part is not magnetic. I tried vacuuming the pin out, but that didn't work. It is broken off about an 1/8" inside, so I can't get pliers on it. I can't really see down in thru the top because there is a motor mount directly above the port.
Does anybody have a suggestion on how to get the pin out without dropping the transmission?
The car is a 96 Ford Contour GL with a 4 cylinder engine. Automatic transmission.
Thanks for any help.
