    Installing rebuilt t-5 but lost bolts..

    My friend killed the t-5 in my car about 2 years ago.. After yelling at him, he pulled out the t-5, had it rebuilt, and now I am about to reinstall. He lost 90% of the bolts that he took out. Do you know what size I may need? Should I get them from the dealer? thanks
