Guess I got the transmission pan bolts too tight :(

Welp have noticed some odd shifting the last couple of days and found the reason why:
Way back in the summer I drove through some ruts at the river and bottomed out on the pan, installed new filter and pan gasket, torqued it back to 13ftlbs, guess I got it too tight.

Anyone know of a good place to get a replacement? I wouldn't want something too deep, just stock depth or close to it.

Thanks. I'm gonna take the pan off and see how bad she is, I'd have to have a replacement today if it goes that way.

Welp much to Z's disliking we were able to fix the pan! 
There were some high/low spots which is why it wasn't sealing. The corner with the split was fixed, there is a little notch on the corner's of the pan and when I bottomed out it simply made it bigger.
She's holding fluid perfectly. Filled her up with Valvoline Full Synthetic ATF+4.

It's a truck again?
