    That depends on if what it bolts up to is stripped or not...

    Yes....you should always use new flexplate bolts. Just for kicks I tried to retorque my old ones properly, and they never would. Like the threads stretched.

    But yeah...a tiny dab on loctite on the mid of the threads, with new bolts, and you'll be all set.
