Question after something happend.., while working on the car... Options

[95celgt]

ok, so I was cleaning the engine bay a little, and i disconnected the AGU fuse holder that goes to the amp. Well stupid me i disconnected the side attatched to the battery and didn't notice, so i went to the neighborhood gas station to put air in the tires and the car started stalling and bogging while it was accelerating.
so i took it back home and pop the hood........now heres the climax....

the amp cable which was still connected to the battery thus having a positive charge touched and even melted on to a bolt thats attatched to the tranny mount.
then i noticed the ground from the battery is attatched to the tranny as well.
My question is: Did i short my trans./engine because of this?

since then my car doesn't run the same, tranny takes a bit longer to respond and the engine isnt as torqy as it used to be. Am i looking at serious damage here?

You shorted the battery using the trans. But you may want to check out ignition wires and plugs and make sure none of them melted, they may have not been able to discharge as quickly and crapped out on you. I would also check the grounds connected to the head and transmission and make sure they are in good shape.
