Volvo Penta 3589522 – Thrust Plate, Upper Gear Housing
Part Number: 3589522
Brand: Volvo Penta
Official Part Type: Thrust Plate
Diagram Position: Position 6 – DP-SMTD1 / Marine Propulsion upper gear housing schematic
Cross-Reference / Supersession
Current Volvo Penta OEM number: 3589522 (active). Related cross-reference numbers include 3852561, GLM12661, and 92-12661. Always confirm the active OEM number against your drive serial number before ordering.
Compatible Applications
- Volvo Penta DP-SMTD1 sterndrive – upper gear housing assembly
- Volvo Penta SX sterndrive – driveshaft housing applications
- Cobra upper gearcase applications (via cross-reference channels – verify by serial number)
Fitment is drive-assembly specific. Match this plate to your exact Volvo Penta upper gear housing schematic and drive serial number before ordering. Drive-side plates can vary by sterndrive family, production break, and housing version even when surrounding assemblies appear similar.
Dimensions & Weight
Approximate shipping weight: 0.009 kg (approx. 0.02 lb). Physical dimensions are small-format plate hardware; confirm exact fit against the removed part and mating pressure plate before installation.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace when the plate shows wear, scoring, deformation, corrosion, or damage during upper gear housing service. Inspect any time the surrounding upper housing, pressure plate, seals, or related drive hardware is already disassembled — reusing a worn plate in this location can result in repeat labor.
Installation Notes
Confirm the exact application in the correct Volvo Penta schematic before installation. Compare the removed part carefully against the replacement plate. Inspect mating surfaces, the adjacent pressure plate (3852561), and surrounding upper gear housing components before reassembly. In drive-housing assemblies, schematic match takes priority over visual comparison.
Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: Upper gear housing rebuild or inspection service on DP-SMTD1 and SX sterndrive units. This plate is a low-cost item that is easy to overlook during a housing teardown — replacing it proactively during any upper housing service is good practice and avoids a repeat job.
Common issue: Customers sometimes match this plate by shape alone without checking the schematic position. Nearby plates and pressure plates in the same assembly can look interchangeable but are not. Always cross-check the diagram position (Position 6) and drive serial number before ordering.
