Default Torque tube snap ring/slinger?

I have a 99 6-speed coupe. I got the car from one of the board members a few weeks ago. When i got the car it was in pieces. So i got a driveshaft from ECS and now im putting the car back together tomarrow. But i dont know were the snap ring is at, or were it goes. Does anyone have any pics of it. And do i need it, and were can i get one on a saturday? Any help would be great. Thanks

I'm not sure what snap ring you are talking about. There is a large one that holds the drive shaft in the torque tube. That one goes at the back of the torque tube....
