If not then you will need to remove the box and try to fish it out. Mine took a while because it was stuck under a gear! If its not stuck then it will come out easy once you get a hold of it (its a poor shape for holding)

Anyway, had a look in the box but couldn't see anything. Needed to replace the green cap cover on the side and found it all chewed up in there. Didn't do any damage to the box though…

The drive gear seems to find its way to just below the access hole naturally when loose in the gearbox so if you drive it around next time you try to get it out it will be in the right place. I managed to drag upright with some long nose pliers with bent tips could grab it out.
Mine had a metal shaft stuck inside it where the cable brok so would have definately coused me probs eventually if i had left it however i called an old dude at VW and he said if its just the plastic gear they just get munched up so not to worry, just to make sure you change the transmission oil next service.
