D-series trans snap ring?
I am putting my transmission back together and cannot figure out the snap ring. Does it need to be replaced? Do you put it on the bearing first then put the case back on? Thanks in advanced, I have searched and found somewhat of an explanation but nothing really helpful.

you should put the ring in the case and then put the case on as normal. you should seat it around the bearing after the case is back on, but not neccesarily after the case is tightened down. I did not replace mine, and there is no real reason to replace it unless it is chewed up somehow.

That snap ring is not supposed to be replaced unless it's messed up. You obviously need a set of snap ring pliers first but leaving the snap ring in place just install the case, once the case is close enough go ahead and use you pliers to spread out the ring so the bearing will slide up into it. In some cases the snap ring will not fully close due to the bearing needing to come up about a 1/4 inch or so, easy fix is to run a couple bolts in holding the case together and then just turn it upside down, the bearing will slide right into place and the snap ring will lock right in

Put ring in case.
Put Ultra Gray/Hondabond on case.
Put case on, no bolts.
Spread ring with snap ring pliers.
Smack case with rubber mallet while holding ring spread open.
Ring should be spread over the bearing.
Put a couple of case bolts in lightly, not torqued.
Put wood on ground.
Pick up case, hold upside down, gently drop case onto wood, listen for the click.
Once you hear the click look at the ring to make sure it snapped into place in the bearing groove.
