Had written quite a while ago about finding crankshaft sensor-found it, tested wire harness with multimeter-seems to be good-removed hold down bolt and while trying to remove sensor-it broke off flush with surface! Any suggestions to remove? Can it be pushed in and cause no problem? Help

Sorry for impatience–any usable ideas–off today and trying to get it running again.

There should be an access cover on the bell housing at the bottom of the transmission. Remove the cover and punch what’s left of the sensor into the bell housing and it should fall out of the access opening.
