While replacing the knock sensors I broke off the top of the transmission dipstick when I pushed the intake manifold to the side. Attempts to retrieve the dipstick were only pushing it farther into the tube so I decided to remove the tube. As I pulled the tube out the bottom of the dipstick broke and fell into the transmission. I'm not sure how large the piece is, I'm guessing 2 or 3 inches as I can not see any of the fluid level lines or checkering. Will this piece cause a problem in the sump or can I just leave it and buy a new dipstick?
