You might've bent the thing, but all is not lost. If you can see where it's bent from the access hole, then bend the thing back again. The sensor ring is a series of square holes in the flywheel with a blank spot (no holes) at the top. Look for where it's bent or broken and you should be able to correct it enough to get it running better. The sensor isn't that sophisticated, but it requires the proper magnetic signal for the computer.

See if you can hammer the thing back to get it proper again. It's a pain in the arse, but it's really the only way you're going to straighten it out without yanking out the transmission for better access.

Unless you broke something, you should be able to straighten it, saving some money.
