Most auto parts stores, and places like Sears, will carry an inch-lb torque wrench. I find Stanley to be a brand that has a good, consistent feel and click to the setting. I paid about $60, some cost far more.

The kickdown band takes an 8-sided 5/16' socket, which looks like a square with the corners radiused. It's available from NAPA as part number NB810 for under $8.

If the band adjustment is too tight, I've found that it shifts hard and late. Too loose, and it slips.
A little gray clutch mud in the pan is normal.
You'll want to adjust the kickdown rod/linkage, too. If the rod is too long, it downshifts early and upshifts late; if the rod is too short, it downshifts late (requiring full throttle) and upshifts early. It's a sensitive adjustment with which a turn or two of the threaded rod can make a big difference.
