Liquid-tight drive connection for engine and transmission coupling

A drive connection for coupling an engine to a gearbox of a machine, comprising:

• a housing having an inner cavity extending from a first open end of the housing to a second open end of the housing and configured for accommodating and enclosing a clutch,
• one or more sensors in communication with the inner cavity, the one or more sensors configured to be communicatively coupled with a control unit of the machine, and
• a plurality of alignment pins protruding from the housing,
• wherein the housing defines a first coupling interface at the first open end for coupling the drive connection to the engine and a second coupling interface at the second open end for coupling the drive connection to the gearbox,
• wherein each coupling interface comprises a first sealing member that fully surrounds the first open end and a second sealing member that fully surrounds the second open end, the first sealing member and the second sealing member being positioned radially inward of the alignment pins, and wherein the housing and the first and second sealing members are configured to fluidly seal the inner cavity when the drive connection is in a coupled state.
