can I reuse my tranny fluid I just put new tranny fluid in about a month ago and only put 350 miles on the tranny. It needs to be dropped again do to most likely one of my pressure plate bolts backing out. Anyway is it ok to reuse the fluid or should I just get new fluid again.

Sounds like this Q belongs in the auto section, manuals have no VB or pan. Even so dropping the pan on an auto will only affect 1/2 the oil in the box as 1/2 is in the converter. IMO Unless you have a VERY good filtering/ salvage strainer, dump the drained stuff and replace w/new.
Also , if its an M6 the fill is 4 qts and the ability to filter/ strain it still applies, best to replace it.
