I'm not a mechanic, but this same thing happened to me on my '97 and I ended up replacing both the sensor (~$35) and the synchronizer below it (~$120) because my unit was very mangled. I suppose if it had been damaged only slightly, I would've tried bending it back, but if I remember right, doesn't this piece have a natural curve to it (like a half moon shape)? How are you going to restore that shape? I doubt you could do it with the unit installed (if at all), and if you're going to remove it, you might as well replace it because it's a pain to get out...
