What is a Snap Ring?

[Optikal]

All embarrassment aside, but what exactly does a snap ring do and where is it located in a trasmission?

I tried looking in the FAQs without any luck, or is there another web source with a picture to view?

Thanks for any help provided!

I won't comment more on it, because i can still get pretty emotional over this little piece of metal

Here is the best write-up of the part, it's purpose, and the problem:

Mark and I are working on a special program for snap-ring affected customers since Acura is now declining repairs. Details to follow!
