Default straw fell into cluch housing

Hi im a new member iallways searched and got my questions answered but i dunno what to do this time. Me and my frieds believed we got a contaminated cluch on my 94 ex with b16 swap so we tried spraying some brake cleaner through the starter hole and the ****ing straw popped off the bottle cap and flew in there. Whats the worst that can happen if i drive it like that? I really cont feel like takin the trans off

Just get underneath the car and remove the dust shield and you should be able to fish it out that way. Hope that helps.

Chances are it'll just fall to the bottom, if the clutch is contaminated you're going to have to pull the tranny anyway. Once the oil gets impregnated in the disc there's no saving it. Make sure you check the transmission input shaft seal if you pull it, typically it's leaking transmission fluid that contaminates the disc, blown rear main seals normally just leak on the back of the flywheel.
