Look here: https://www.kripahle-online.de/unterricht/?page_id=2408I ask this question cause I've forgot to screw on the housing befor I fix it to the engine block. Is it absolute nessesary to fix this cover to the gear housing?

Can fix it later, preferably before mounting in chassis, might not have access without removing floorboards/tin from inside of vehicle.
