Default speed sensor bolt broke

While trying to replace my crank position sensor my dumbass tried to take off the sensor on the bottom drivers side of the transmission near the engine after doing some research im seeing that its a speed sensor. It has a single bolt holding it on and slips in with a o-ring then has a 2 wire plug. Anywase the bolt is snapped and i cant get it removed what would happen if i just removed the sensor and pluged the hole? Thanks

Are you planning to drive it or not? Engine management depends alot on that sensor, so yes it's important. Easy out / maybe helicoil time, or buy a new extension housing.
