Try soaking it with wd-40, then using a needle nose pliers start twisting it....the only thing that is stopping it from coming out is an o-ring that has turned hard.

Carefully - can you grab remaing part with like a sheet rock screw, other screw or some creation?

thought about using a slide hammer but what else could i mess up if i drilled a little to deep and would just pouring large amounts of tranny fluid through the sensor holr flush out all the slivers.

Re: 93 corolla speed sensor Sign In

If you drill, coat the drill bit with grease. This will hold the shavings to the bit. Drill slowly and there should not be much that drops off. Or, as Tom stated. Use a self tapping screw to see if it will grab it and remove that way.

Thank you to everyone. I'm just worried about making matters worse. Wish I had taking the damn thing to a shop but to late now. But I'm open to anymore ideas .
