I did this a few years ago. Droped mine, and couldn't find it anywhere, took starter off, and the plate in front of the flywheel on the bottom, and had a magnet on a stick. Poked around for a few good days, rotating engine by hand. Nothing. Figured it was lodged somewhere in the engine bay, and it would fall drop down at some point while I drove. And I didnt find it untill about 2-3 years later when I was doing a clutch job. It was on a ledge, the size of the bolt head, on the inside front of the bell housing. I WAS VERY LUCKY
