When you are switching out transmissions do you really have to mark the flex plate and the torque converter? I mean everything is already balanced. Is this really necesary?

No that is not needed as that is not how the engine is balanced. The engine is balanced from the front harmonic balancer. Nothing I find mentions doing this either so no not needed. Thanks.
