Ok. I think it's called a clutch sensor.. An oval plate with a set screw, round rubber cap with a wire coming out of it. Someone changed the oil and filter, and got a filter wrench stuck on the filter... And the sensor doesnt allow enough clearance to get it back off. I don't want to start tearing it down, without knowing what I am doing. Help, please? Thanks

It has a cut out to clear the oil pressure sensor.
Just screw the filter back on to get your wrench off.

It state in the service manual. pg 1-16
Lubricate gasket with clean engine oil. Install new oil filter on filter mount.
Hand tighten oil filter 1/@ to 3?4 of a turn after gasket first contacts mounting surface. Do NOT use oil filter wrench for instalation.
FYI. It's called the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP)

I guess I got lucky, I borrowed a friend's filter wrench to remove mine and it cleared just fine. I've never owned the cup style, only the strap wrenches. I Use K&n filters just for the convenience of having a nut.
And no I don't install with a wrench. I Use a driver to make things easier without giving me an extra mechanical advantage.
