Part Number: 22098611
Brand: Volvo Penta
Official Product Type: Splined Sleeve / Spline Hub
System: Sterndrive Driveline – Drive Shaft & Bearing Housing Assembly
Supersedes: 3862421
Overview
The Volvo Penta 22098611 is a genuine OEM splined drive sleeve for DPH and DPR sterndrive driveline assemblies. It forms a toothed mechanical coupling between driveline shaft sections within the drive shaft and bearing housing, transmitting engine torque through the sterndrive. Worn or damaged splines at this coupling produce driveline backlash and, if left unaddressed, can cause progressive damage to the mating shafts.
This is a driveline coupling sleeve — not a propeller hub sleeve. Confirm the correct application by drive model and serial number before ordering.
Compatible Applications
- Volvo Penta DPH-A
- Volvo Penta DPH-C
- Volvo Penta DPH-D

Volvo Penta uses several different splined sleeves across its sterndrive families. Similar-looking sleeves are not necessarily interchangeable. Always confirm by drive model and serial number against the applicable Volvo Penta drive shaft and bearing housing diagram.
Serial Number & Fitment Notice
Confirm the exact drive model, serial number, and drive shaft / bearing housing diagram before ordering. Splined sleeve specifications can vary by drive generation and production break within the DPH and DPR families.

When to Replace
Replace the splined sleeve when inspection reveals worn or rounded splines, excessive rotational play, corrosion, fretting, or other damage. Driveline backlash or unusual noise during power transfer can indicate sleeve wear. Do not reinstall a sleeve with damaged splines — continued use will accelerate wear on the mating shafts.
Installation Notes
22098611 is installed within the drive shaft and bearing housing assembly alongside the associated sealing rings and bearings. During service, inspect the following components before reassembly:
- Mating shaft splines (upper and lower driveline sections)
- Roller Bearing 11065 — adjacent bearing in the assembly
- Ball Bearing 984223 — adjacent bearing in the assembly
- Sealing rings and adjacent shim arrangement
Follow the applicable Volvo Penta DPH/DPR workshop procedure for assembly sequence, shim selection, and torque specifications.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is this the same as a propeller hub sleeve?
A: No. 22098611 is a driveline coupling sleeve located in the drive shaft and bearing housing assembly. It is not a propeller hub sleeve or propeller adapter.
Q: Does 22098611 replace 3862421?
A: Yes. 22098611 is the current Volvo Penta OEM part number that supersedes 3862421.
Q: If the sleeve is worn, do I need to replace the shafts too?
A: Inspect the mating shaft splines carefully. If the shafts show wear, replacing the sleeve alone will not restore proper driveline function. Both the sleeve and any worn shaft sections should be addressed at the same service.
Q: How do I confirm this is the right sleeve for my drive?
A: Match by drive model and serial number using the Volvo Penta DPH or DPR drive shaft and bearing housing parts diagram. Contact us with your drive serial number if you need confirmation before ordering.
Parts Desk Insights
22098611 is a driveline coupling sleeve for DPH and DPR drives — not a propeller hub sleeve. The most common issue is customers replacing the sleeve without inspecting the mating shaft splines. If the shaft splines are also worn, the new sleeve will wear quickly and the driveline problem will return. Always inspect both the sleeve and the mating shafts before closing the job. Also note that 22098611 supersedes 3862421 — customers referencing the older number should be updated to the current part.
