To retrieve differential side gears that fell into transaxle after pulling out CV Joint?

After I pulled the CV axle for replacement,the side gear fell down into the transaxle, I have been trying to get a magnet to retrieve the gear to pull back in place, but there is no success, is there an easier way to retrieve it without taking the transmission apart?
