This happened to me about 6 years ago. I ended up having to partly remove the transmission enough to stick a pen magnetic through the opening to fish out the socket. I did drive the car for a couple of day. It's really not a good idea because I could hear the socket bounce around in the bellhousing. It would eventually stop but start all over after hitting a bump on the road. The socket was beatup when I took it out.

No... All You Have To Do Is Get A Good Magnet Pull The Starter And It Will Come Out Threw The Starter Hole Use The Magnet On The Other Side Of The Bellhousing And It Will Be Strong Enough To Pull It Up The Side And Out The Hole For The Starter
