Alto 018101 — Marine Transmission Sealing Ring | Replaces Velvet Drive 2000-016050
Alto 018101 is a marine transmission sealing ring that replaces OEM reference Velvet Drive 2000-016050. Transmission sealing rings are precision-fit rings used on rotating shafts and in bores to control fluid pressure between hydraulic passages within the transmission. They prevent fluid bypass between apply circuits, maintaining correct clutch apply pressure and proper transmission operation. Correct sealing ring specification — including diameter, cross-section, and material — is required for proper fit and sealing function. This sealing ring is sold individually. Alto Products Corp. is a leading manufacturer of marine transmission sealing components and rebuild hardware for Velvet Drive and related applications.

A: Alto 018101 replaces Velvet Drive OEM reference 2000-016050.
Q: What does a transmission sealing ring do?
A: Transmission sealing rings are precision-fit rings installed on rotating shafts and in bores to control fluid pressure between hydraulic passages. They prevent fluid bypass between clutch apply circuits, ensuring correct apply pressure and proper transmission engagement. A worn or damaged sealing ring causes pressure loss, slipping, or delayed engagement.
Q: What transmission does the Alto 018101 sealing ring fit?

Q: Can I reuse sealing rings during a rebuild?
A: Sealing rings that show wear, distortion, or loss of sealing surface should always be replaced. During a complete transmission overhaul, replacing all sealing rings ensures consistent hydraulic performance across all clutch circuits and avoids repeat disassembly.
Q: Is Alto 018101 sold individually?
A: Yes — Alto 018101 is sold individually. If you are performing a complete Velvet Drive overhaul, a full gasket and seal kit may be more cost-effective. Contact us to confirm the correct overhaul kit for your transmission model.
