Dropped wrench into bellhousing - 1LE

Had to be a million to one shot. 2015 1LE going to install the Tick bleeder and had string tied to the actual bleeder. I was seeing if my 12pt 8mm box wrench would get to the stock bleeder. I was planning on making a quick run to get a offset wrench but thought if I could get it off... slipped and clink, clink, clink. I really can't believe it.

Is my only option to pull the tranny? Any chance a magnet on string could get it (grasping...)

TIA for any help.

Sorry, nevermind. Got lucky and could pull it out of the vent at the bottom. Totally panicked.

LOL. When I finally fished it out, your message sums up how I felt pretty accurately!

I dropped a bell housing bolt in there. too big to pull out the vent. I pulled it out of the starter hole.
