The hollow cylindrical sleeve portion includes a plurality of inwardly extending splines configured to engage outwardly extending splines of the transfer case outlet shaft. The disc-shaped flange portion has a plurality of fastener openings therethrough that correspond to fastener openings through a flange portion of a companion flange. A notch is formed through the hollow cylindrical sleeve portion at an open end of the hollow cylindrical sleeve portion. A groove is formed within the inner surface of the hollow cylindrical sleeve and extends about a rotation axis of the hollow cylindrical sleeve portion. A C-clip is received within the groove for restricting axial movement along the rotation axis and includes open ends that are received within the notch.
