Get one of those magnetic grabbers and fish around with it.

Here's one version:

The essence of fishing in this case s to go fish.

The item you dropped seems to be lodged on the driver's side of the transmission, up by the transmission mount bracket and exhaust pipe. It has a heat shield mounted over the transmission mount bracket, so you will most likely have to go from the bottom of the car. The cable connects right behind the bracket.

Fish from the boat before u grab the speargun and jump in...

How long can I continue this metaphor? As long as it's still fun...
