Can you drill a hole in the center of it and thread a screw ?
Then you can grab the screw and use it to pull it out.

Yes I thought about doing that, we started drilling last night and it's nearly impossible getting through. The bit actually shot sparks out and was glowing red.
I stopped drilling because I do not want the cylnder to fall down behind that wall, I am not sure how large of a cavern is behind that. I also do not know if and when I will make it through the sensor. Because I could keep drilling without knowing past the sensor and in to the tranny.
What are your thoughts on that?

The piece was really lodged in there for some reason... we have been using wd40 and such to try to loosen it also.

It probably has a lot of rust around it, and that makes it hard to get it out.
Try grabbing the edges with a needle nose plier and wiggle it out slowly...

OD Light flashing means you have a Powertrain Code.
Get your code from the PCM and post it here...

Is it imperative to disconnect the battery cable?
Last time I did that, the system kinda shorted or something when I reconnected it, for some reason. Or at least it acted very very funny when I attempted to start it up again. As in, it didn't want to do anything at all. And it freaked me out that it was cracklin' and crap when I put it back on the post, but nothing was on in the car.
well after you disconnect the battery, your computer has to "relearn" things like the ideal idle speed and things like that. after 30 seconds of running at idle it should be fine.

Well, I just installed it. Only cost me 3 busted knuckles from the cheesy-ass Ford scissor jack.
I got a little worried when mine required no twisting at all. It just fell right out. The same when I put the new one in.
But, so far, it seems to have made an incredible improvement. I took a quick spin around the block. I could make it do a hard drop, but it was significantly less jarring than before, and didn't do it almost every time from 1-2 like it used to.
Shifting was very smooth 1, 2, 3. And there even seemed to be a little bit better improvement in the shifting times, and sound (if that makes any sense). And, it may be my imagination, but it seemed to be a little quicker on the response.
