There's a seal inside it, but no gasket, just silicone between it and the case.
Juat make sure the clutch gear stays in it, chasing those roller bearings around after they fall into the case is no fun.

Right, that "splined shaft" has a name, which is "clutch gear".
There's a seal pressed into the clutch gear bearing retainer bore, that seals around the clutch gear. You use silicone between the bearing retainer and the case, and on the bolt threads.
