Mercury MerCruiser Quicksilver 864596067 is a genuine OEM thrust bearing race / shim race used in Mercury Racing stern drive transmission service. Current Mercury parts references identify it as SHIM/RACE (.0665/.0674 thick) Purple, which places it in the thickness-selective bearing setup range rather than as a generic loose race.
Key Features
- Genuine Mercury MerCruiser OEM part number 864596067.
- Identified as a thrust bearing shim/race with .0665–.0674" thickness.
- Purple color code for thickness identification during gear setup and service.
- Used as an A/R setup component in current Mercury Transmission (Shaft and Gears) (NXT1) assemblies.
- Current Mercury dealer data lists approximate shipping specs of 0.08 lb, 3.75" length, 3.75" width, and 0.13" height.
Engine Compatibility
The strongest supportable fitment for 864596067 is Mercury Racing NXT1 transmission service in 525 EFI, 662 SCi, and 700 SCi applications. Current Mercury parts sources show it in both Transmission (Shaft and Gears) (NXT1) and Transmission (Reservoir/Pump) (NXT1) coverage for those engine families.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Verify fitment by exact engine serial number, transmission model, and the required thrust-bearing race thickness before ordering. With 864596067, the critical check is not just the NXT1 application, but the exact purple .0665/.0674 thickness specification, because Mercury lists multiple adjacent race thicknesses for the same service position.
When This Part Needs Replacement
This part is typically replaced during transmission teardown or gear-stack setup when the existing race is worn, damaged, or when bearing preload and internal setup call for a different thickness. Because 864596067 is a calibrated shim/race rather than a one-size-fits-all bearing part, correct selection is part of the setup process itself. This service guidance is a practical inference based on Mercury’s thickness-coded race listings and NXT1 assembly placement.
Installation Notes
Install 864596067 only after confirming the correct Mercury service diagram and measuring for the required thrust-bearing stack thickness. Current NXT1 diagrams place it near related components such as bearing assembly 31-861787, input shaft assembly 45-842045A01, diesel input shaft assembly 45-8M0090572, roller bearing 31-843240, and thrust collar 23-8M0020295.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current sources reviewed show 864596067 as an active OEM Mercury number. Related thickness variants used in the same service position include 864596066 (.0655/.0664 Pink), 864596065 (.0645/.0654 Black), 864596064 (.0635/.0644 Light Blue), 864596063 (.0625/.0634 Red), 864596062 (.0615/.0624 Yellow), 864596061 (.0605/.0614 Green), 864596060 (.0595/.0604 Orange), 864596059 (.0585/.0594 White), and 864596058 (.0575/.0584 Brown).
Parts Desk Insight
This is the kind of part that is easy to misorder because the transmission family can be right while the race thickness is wrong. Matching 864596067 by the exact purple thickness code and measured setup requirement is usually the better move than ordering by the generic thrust-bearing-race description alone.
