Current references place it in \u003cstrong\u003eDP-SMTD1 marine propulsion\u003c\/strong\u003e schematics, and broader catalog listings also associate it with \u003cstrong\u003eVolvo SX driveshaft housing components\u003c\/strong\u003e and certain \u003cstrong\u003eCobra upper gearcase\u003c\/strong\u003e applications through cross-reference channels. The safest fitment path is to match this plate to the exact Volvo Penta drive schematic and serial-number-based application before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSerial Number Fitment Notice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch Volvo Penta part number \u003cstrong\u003e3589522\u003c\/strong\u003e to your drive serial number and the correct Volvo Penta upper gear housing diagram before ordering. Drive-side plates and adjacent hardware can vary by sterndrive family, production break, and housing version, even when the surrounding assembly looks very similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen This Part Needs Replacement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plate should be replaced when it shows wear, scoring, deformation, corrosion, or damage during upper gear housing service. It is also worth inspecting anytime the surrounding upper housing, pressure plate, seal, or related drive hardware is already apart, since wear in this area can lead to repeat labor if reused in poor condition. This service guidance is an inference based on the part's placement in the upper gear housing assembly and dealer descriptions identifying it as a thrust plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm the exact application in the correct Volvo Penta schematic before installation, and compare the removed part carefully against the replacement plate. Inspect the mating surfaces, adjacent pressure plate, and surrounding upper gear housing components before reassembly. In drive-housing assemblies, exact schematic match matters more than a quick visual comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent dealer listings continue to show \u003cstrong\u003e3589522\u003c\/strong\u003e as the active Volvo Penta OEM number.

Checking the exact upper gear housing schematic first usually saves time, especially when nearby plates and pressure plates in the same assembly can look more interchangeable than they really are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ships same or next day for fast Canada wide shipping. ⚓\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43564004573220,"sku":"3589522","price":15.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/9be75198-5c72-462c-824b-812b137f6da2.png?v=1776477111","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-552","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
