I was trying to bleed the air out of my clutch and I threaded out the bleeder screw out to far. It fell into the trans.
Anyone know how to get this out without pulling the trans.
Yesterday was supposed to be the first test drive with the new motor and turbo.
Then this happened.

if youre really luck, you might be able to fish it out with a magnet on a string or pull the starter and try and get it out through there. have fun getting it back on though, probably end up pulling the trans anyway

Fell into the bellhousing? Agree, spend the extra hour and back the trans out a bit to get it.

Which is the easier way. Pull the trans off the bell housing or pull the bell housing off the motor

transmission off of bellhousing, although when I dropped a socket in there it wedged itself behind the clutch so I almost had to take bellhousing off too. I guess it depends how it fell

Is the bleeder magnetic ? I hope it's no brass

Unbolt the starter and try to fish it out with a magnet.

This is first thing came to mind.

I ended up getting it through the starter hole. But we dropped it again. Its was much harder the second time
I finally got it after almost getting the tranny all the way out. I'd like to forget that ever happened.
My first drive was great.
