The 3862867 is a genuine OEM Volvo Penta pin used inside the sterndrive shift mechanism on DPH and DPR drives. It occupies diagram position 4 in the shift-mechanism assembly, seated between shift piston 3862388 and return spring 814184 inside the control housing. This pin is part of the mechanical linkage that actuates gear selection — an exact OEM replacement ensures precise actuation and reliable gear engagement.

Compatible Applications

• Volvo Penta DPH-A – shift mechanism, diagram position 4
• Volvo Penta DPH-B – shift mechanism, diagram position 4
• Volvo Penta DPH-D – shift mechanism (confirm by serial)
• Volvo Penta DPH-D1 – shift mechanism (confirm by serial)
• Volvo Penta DPR-A – shift mechanism, diagram position 4
• Volvo Penta DPR-B – shift mechanism, diagram position 4
• Volvo Penta DPR-D – shift mechanism (confirm by serial)

Fitment Notice: Volvo Penta uses multiple small pins in the same shift assembly — spring pin 951936 and split pin 17276 are nearby components in the same mechanism and are not interchangeable with 3862867. Confirm the exact drive model, revision, and diagram position before ordering.

When to Replace

Replace this shift mechanism pin when it shows scoring, wear, bending, deformation, or corrosion, when there is excessive looseness between the pin and its mating components, or when damage is found during shift-piston or control-housing service. Worn shift-mechanism pins can cause excessive shifter play and unreliable gear engagement.

Service Interval

Inspect shift mechanism components whenever the sterndrive control housing or shift piston is disassembled for service. There is no fixed mileage interval — replace any component showing wear, corrosion, or damage. Proactively inspect the full shift assembly when addressing gear-engagement issues or control-housing service.

Associated Service Parts

• Volvo Penta Spring 814184 – Return spring adjacent to this pin in the shift assembly
• Volvo Penta Dog 3862387 – Shift dog in the same control-housing assembly
• Volvo Penta Sliding Sleeve / Cone Clutch 3849006 – DPH/DPR shift mechanism clutch component

Installation Notes

Before installation, inspect piston 3862388, spring 814184, sealing ring 3863085, the control housing bore, dog 3862387, and all related linkage components for wear or damage. Install the pin in the same orientation shown in the Volvo Penta shift-mechanism diagram for your drive model. Verify smooth shift-mechanism movement through the full range of motion before final drive reassembly.

Technical FAQ

Q: Is this a generic pin or a shift-specific part?
A: This is specifically the internal shift-mechanism pin (position 4) in the DPH/DPR control-housing assembly — not a generic retaining pin or cotter pin. It is a precision component in the gear-selection linkage and should be replaced with an OEM part.

Q: How do I distinguish 3862867 from other pins in the same assembly?
A: Use the Volvo Penta exploded-view diagram for your drive. The 3862867 is item 4, seated between the shift piston (3862388) and return spring (814184). Spring pin 951936 and split pin 17276 are separate nearby components and are not the same part.

Q: What drives use this pin?
A: Confirmed applications include DPH-A, DPH-B, DPR-A, DPR-B, DPH-D, DPH-D1, and DPR-D. Always confirm by your exact drive serial number and the applicable shift-mechanism diagram.

Q: Does this come with the piston or spring?
A: No. This listing is the shift mechanism pin only. Piston 3862388, spring 814184, and sealing components are serviced as separate parts.

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: This is the correct part for customers rebuilding or servicing the shift mechanism on a DPH or DPR sterndrive — particularly when addressing excessive shifter play, stiff gear engagement, or damage found during control-housing disassembly. Most often ordered alongside the return spring and shift dog as part of a complete shift-mechanism service.

Common Issues: The most common mistake is ordering a generic pin or the wrong pin from the same assembly — spring pin 951936 and split pin 17276 are in the same control housing and look similar but serve different functions. Always confirm diagram position 4 against your drive’s exploded view before ordering. Customers sometimes also expect the piston or spring to be included; those are separate service parts.
