Summary:The present invention pertains to a drive connection for coupling an engine to a gearbox of a machine and which provides a fluid-tight sealing. Accordingly, a drive connection (10) for coupling an engine to a gearbox of a machine is suggested, which comprises a housing (12) having an inner cavity (14) that extends from a first open end (16) of the housing (12) to a second open end (18) of the housing (12) and which is configured for accommodating and enclosing a clutch. The housing (12) defines a first coupling interface (20) at the first open end (16) for coupling the drive connection (10) to an engine and a second coupling interface (22) at the second open end (18) for coupling the drive connection (10) to a gearbox, Furthermore, each coupling interface (20, 22) comprises a sealing member (24), wherein the housing (12) and sealing members (24) are configured to fluidically seal the inner cavity (14), when the drive connection (10) is in a coupled state.
