A planet carrier, suitable for use in a transmission, is fastened to a ring gear by intermeshing axial teeth. The axial teeth convey torque between the carrier and the ring gear. A snap ring, inserted into a groove in the intermeshing teeth, holds the carrier and ring gear together axially. The carrier is formed from two plates, one of which is attached to an outer shell. Axial teeth are formed into the outer shell. One of the plates has tabs that are inserted into slots in the other plate.
