You dont need to do it for a TII engine swap. Unless your also changing out the rear end.

if you do a turbo swap you will want the TII transmission. the best cheapest and best performance way to do this is to use the TII trans mission and the N/A rear end. To do this you need a custom drive shaft you can buy one from mazdatrix.com or by a TII drive shaft and go to a local transmission shop and they will piece the TII with the N/A so it will fit. This way your clutch wont slip with the N/A trans on the turbo engine and you dont have to replace the whole rear end
