You can flush the transmission and put the correct fluid in are this should take care of the problem.

What if the dealer had ran the vehicle? If it does not fix the problem evidently the trans was damaged when the pan was ruptured

It is worth a try to have the tranny flushed and refilled with the correct fluid to make sure that it was not damaged.  Maybe they can just get a new pan and not have to replace the whole tranny, although they will try to talk you getting a new tranny just so they can make more money.
