That clip came from the tranny side? It holds the axle in, no? like any other C clip/retaining ring.

I dont' know if you can buy that separately. I've had this problem befroe myself and I've never figured out how to replace just the clip.

Just bend it back to as close to round as you can and put it back on. It should be faily tight in the groove of the shaft or it will be nearly impossible to get out the next time.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.

Go buy some from Autozone and swap the clips and just return the axle. :freak:
