Post Reinstalling tranny - new bolts?

My rebuilt transmission is finally done and going back in the car this weekend. I'm wondering if it makes sense to replace the mounting bolts when I put it back in. All of them? Just some? I'd hate to do all this and then have a re-used bolt fail.

Any ideas are appreciated.

I have had my tranny out a couple times and reused the stock bolts with no problems, but it can't hurt to install new ones if you wish.

I would replace the 4 10mm on the tranny mount, the 17mm's on the bar itself are cool. Don't forget the Anti-sieze.

EDIT: Humm... maybe they were 12mm... they all run together! <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />
