Default Snapped off a tranny bolt!

Well I got up this morning and noticed a small spot of tranny oil in my driveway. So I grapped my ratchet set and jumped under the car. ya know the smallest, lowest, bolt on the tranny cover plate (5 spd), i'm talking about the plate that covers the lower half of the tranny on the side that it connects to the engine... I realized that was a little loose, so i went ahead and started tightening. And like i said, I snapped it. Any suggestions?

Your going to need to tap it with an easy out.

I have gotten lucky with left turning drill bits for this problem, coures they are a special order drill but can be gotten.
or like Casper says a easyout works great, if ya can get a drill to it.
