Repl. Snap Ring For Collar

The Repl. Snap Ring For Collar by Winters is a precision-engineered retaining component essential for transmission and differential assembly work. This snap ring serves as a critical fastener in high-performance and OEM drivetrain builds, preventing collar components from shifting under load during acceleration, braking, and cornering. Whether you're rebuilding a racing transmission, servicing a differential, or assembling a custom gearbox, this replacement snap ring ensures components stay precisely positioned where engineering demands it.

Snap rings function through tension-fit geometry, gripping a mating groove to lock components axially in place without threads or welding. The Winters design utilizes high-carbon spring steel, heat-treated to withstand repeated load cycles and thermal stress common in gearbox environments. At just 0.03 lbs, this compact component (2.1 x 0.25 x 4.95 inches) delivers reliable retention across a range of collar bore diameters, maintaining clearances within strict tolerances while resisting fatigue failure from vibration and shock loads typical of manual transmissions and limited-slip differentials.

Mechanics and performance builders trust Winters components for both street and competition applications. This snap ring is ideal for anyone rebuilding or servicing Winters gear sets, OEM transmissions, or aftermarket differentials where original snap rings have weakened or lost tension. Proper installation requires matching the ring to the correct groove diameter—measure your collar bore carefully before ordering. Keep a spare on hand; snap rings can break during removal and are inexpensive insurance against incomplete rebuilds or mid-job delays.
