I freaked out when this happened to me. The tips get brittle over time soaking in the fluid, furthermore, there is a lip inside the filler tube that can catch the tip as you put it back down in. I bought a new one from Erikkson for under $15. I called Anders (Swedecar) to discuss and he said the tip will remain localized behind the filter area. I was delighted last week when I changed a portion of my tranny fluid and found the whole tip in the top of the oil drain pan -that was a relief to me. I had the normal "furry magnet" of minimal metal shavings on my magnet. You have to coax the tranny filter out since it is held in by an O ring. I sprayed out metal debris from the filter using brake cleaner and let it dry before replacing. Car is shifting smoother even with only 2/3 fluid change achieved.
