Marine Transmissions, Gearboxes, Damper Plates, Seals & Service Parts
Shop marine transmission parts, gearbox components, Velvet Drive and Borg-Warner parts, ZF and Hurth service items, damper plates, gasket and seal kits, transmission oil, coolers, controls, and drivetrain service components.
Match the transmission model, ratio, serial plate, rotation, part number, engine package, and service manual before ordering gearbox parts.
Transmission parts are highly fitment-specific. Confirm Borg-Warner, Velvet Drive, ZF, Hurth, Volvo Penta, MerCruiser, or other OEM details before replacing internal parts, seals, damper plates, coolers, or controls.

Fitment
Start With the Transmission Plate
Transmission model, ratio, rotation, serial number, and part number matter. Many small parts look similar but fit only specific Borg-Warner, Velvet Drive, ZF, Hurth, Volvo Penta, MerCruiser, or inboard packages.
Inspection
Noise, Heat, Slipping, or Leaks Need Context
Burnt fluid, delayed engagement, metal in the oil, slipping under load, leaking seals, vibration, or overheating can point to alignment, cooler flow, fluid level, clutch wear, damper failure, or internal gearbox damage.
Record the model plate, ratio, fluid condition, leak location, operating temperature, and when the symptom appears before ordering parts.
Gearbox Parts
Bushings, washers, plates, springs, nuts, O-rings, gaskets, and seal kits support internal transmission service.
Drivetrain Interface
Damper plates, couplings, shaft alignment, mounts, and controls affect how power moves from engine to propeller.
Fluid & Cooling
Transmission oil, cooler condition, clean flow, and heat control are critical to gearbox life and shift quality.
Maintenance
Transmission Work Rewards Careful Identification
Before replacing parts, verify the exact gearbox, oil requirement, cooler flow, shift linkage adjustment, engine alignment, and whether the problem is internal or caused by surrounding drivetrain components.
FAQ
Marine Transmission Questions
How do I identify my marine transmission?
Start with the transmission identification plate. Record the manufacturer, model, ratio, serial number, rotation, and any part numbers before ordering parts.
Are Velvet Drive and Borg-Warner the same thing?
Many Velvet Drive marine transmissions are associated with Borg-Warner designs and parts, but fitment still depends on the exact model and series.
When should a damper plate be replaced?
Damper plates should be inspected when there is drivetrain rattle, vibration, spring failure, engine removal, transmission removal, or visible wear at the engine-to-transmission connection.
Can I use regular ATF or oil in a marine transmission?
Use the fluid specified by the transmission or engine manufacturer. Different gearboxes may require ATF, engine oil, hydraulic fluid, or OEM-specific transmission oil.
