You should definitely torque everything back in based on FSM specs...but your original statement kinda implied you were using a torque wrench to remove things rather than putting them back in.

To give you an idea of what ranges you're likely to be looking at, the flywheel bolts should be tightened to (142 - 152 Nm, 14.5 - 15.5 kgm, 105 - 112 ft-lb). But something like the clutch slave cylinder bolts are in the range of (30 - 40 Nm, 3.1 - 4.1 kgm, 22 - 30 ft-lb).

Currently I'm using Craftsman torque wrenches and they work fine. I would buy Snap-On but don't want to pay like $200 each. The retail price for the regular Craftsman torque wrenches is like 65 or 70 bux each. I think I bought mine on sale at OSH for like ~45-50.
