Yes, it is necessary, you'll burn up the trans if you don't lock up the TC- either manual or automatic. Benefits are there too- gas mileage, etc. There is quite a bit of info on the web about this. The other thing that is very important is making sure you have the proper TV linkage and that is is adjusted properly. From what I have learned, if you get these 2 things right you'll love the swap, don't and you are in for some headaches.

Sorry, I didn't realize this thread was specific to the 205 t-case- the title only specifies the trans swap.
