GEAR RING (Toyota TY13453-31961-71)

TY13453-31961-71: A worn retaining ring can allow assembled components to separate under load, leading to mechanical failure. This aftermarket replacement part references Toyota catalog number TY13453-31961-71. The gear ring functions as a circular fastener that seats into a groove to hold parts in axial position. Its plain mechanical role is to prevent lateral movement of a shaft or bore assembly.
