Default Shift kit installed. Couple ????

Well I went ahead and installed my transgo shift kit this morning. It really wasn't that difficult besides a few things. So far I only noticed a small difference in the 1-2 shift and a little more from 2-3. I fould a little gunk in my trans pan it was grayish gunk on the pan. Would that be metal shavings? Then when reinstalling my trans pan with my cheap torque wrench I snapped the head off one of the trans bolts. Will it be ok missing one bolt for a little while? What can be done to fix it? Thanks guys. I will try to post pics of my trans pan later.

You can get an "easy out" or bolt extractor to get it out and pick up a new bolt from the bone yard or dealer. Yeah those are metal shavings which is normal, chunks are bad.
