Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What transmission does the Alto 023258 snap ring fit?
A: Alto 023258 is a Velvet Drive transmission snap ring. Contact us with your transmission model and serial number and we’ll confirm the correct snap ring for your specific application by email, text, or live chat.
Q: What is a snap ring used for in a marine transmission?
A: Snap rings are precision retaining fasteners used to secure bearings, shafts, gears, pistons, and other components within the transmission housing and bores. They prevent axial movement of the retained component under load.
Q: Does snap ring size matter?
A: Yes — snap rings are precision-sized components. Incorrect diameter or thickness will result in improper retention or failure to seat in the groove. Always verify the correct part number for your specific transmission application before ordering.
Q: Is this snap ring sold individually or as a set?
A: Alto 023258 is sold individually. If you are performing a complete overhaul, review your transmission service manual for all snap ring locations and order the correct quantity and part numbers for each position.
Q: Can I reuse snap rings during a transmission rebuild?
A: Snap rings that show signs of distortion, corrosion, or reduced spring tension should be replaced. When in doubt, replace with a new snap ring — a fatigued snap ring that fails under load can allow component movement and cause significant internal transmission damage.
