QuickTime Bellhousing/Scattershield Question

[EvilTwins]

I'm buying this bellhousing and I'm just trying to find out of the starter pocket shield is necessary?

I was in the process of ordering it and then the dealer asked me if I wanted the starter pocket as well? It was the first I heard of it, and I'm just having a hard time picturing it installed.. Is the cover necessary?

Looking at the bellhousing, the snout of the starter will be exposed to outside elements if you don't get the starter cover. So yes, I would get it.

I would say yes if it's a daily, all-weather driver. If your like me and you drive it once in awhile and only in nice weather on nice roads than no. . .

I have a quicktime and I didn't get it they never said anything to me about it. I guess it is a good idea if your car is a DD and sees weather,
