Bad luck dropped bolt into trans

I dropped the distributor bolt into where the trans fork meets the slave cylinder. How bad is it?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Yea it actually fell inside inside. There is a slot in there for some reason.

Remove the dust shield for the flywheel cover. Try to get at it there if after a magnet and/or a little 3 arm parts grabber doesn't work. Like the tool Cohagen used to remove the transmitter from his nasal passage. It looks painful but it's not. Much like your experience will be removing the dropped bolt.
