Yes, just to keep crap out. I don't run the car all that hard so cooling is not an issue. There's a nice RAM Aluminum Flywheel in there so maybe it cools faster than iron. I had Thermax strips on different spots of the drive train, pretending like I'm Morris or something, and I didn't even get the temperatures up to measure on the strips. I kind of new that though because after what I consider to be a hard run I could still reach under the car and not burn my hand on either the transmission, bell housing or differential. And I've burned myself on the side pipes enough to know the smell and feel of a good burn.
