It's not necessary, but you should probably put one in if you've got the cash. I didn't put one in and I wish I would have (will be adding one soon). The bigger stall softens up your shifts considerably, and the shift kit firms them back up and gives you some additional line pressure to keep clutches and frictions from slipping. A good shift kit will help prolong the life of your tranny.
