Default Broke speed sensor in half :(

Ok...been going through alot with this truck lately and sure could use some help. My boyfriend was trying to replace the speed sensor in the side of the tranny....and busted it in half...now the magnet is stuck flush with jo way to pull the remaining piece out...and of course there is barely enough room to even get your hand up there...
ok what I'm asking is any suggestions on how to get this out of there without having to drop the whole tranny?? Or if I do have to pull the transmission ...can someone give me a rough estimate on cost for this...thanks !!

Can you superglue something onto it to pull it out?

Year? Engine? 4wd? More info is required.

Superglue and tranmission fluid is a bad idea . Superglue breaks down in trans oil and can cause issues if it gets in the solenoids.

To think someone has actually experienced this kinda boggles me. I'd be afraid to use superglue on anything to do with the engine/transmission....

Had someone try to repair a pass thru connector with superglue. It managed to seep thru the connector and got in the oil. Trans wouldnt shift and to replace the valve body and shift solenoids.
