# 1652798 Snap Ring | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta snap ring is a thickness-selected transmission retaining component used in the I-Shift transmission shaft and gear-stack retention. It is manufactured to the original Volvo dimensional, material and interface requirements so the serviced assembly retains its designed alignment, sealing, load capacity and operating reliability. Selected thickness: 2.20 mm. In service, it controls axial location of the selected transmission component while retaining the bearing or gear stack in its machined groove. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 1652798, the exact engine/product model, serial number and the installed assembly configuration.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Genuine Volvo Penta OEM snap ring
-   OEM part number 1652798
-   Selected thickness: 2.20 mm
-   Measure the specified end float and groove condition before selection; do not substitute a different thickness

## 🔌 Function

Controls axial location of the selected transmission component while retaining the bearing or gear stack in its machined groove. Measure the specified end float and groove condition before selection; do not substitute a different thickness.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Excessive shaft or gear end float
-   Ring movement, partial release or loss of retention in the groove
-   Rounded, worn or damaged retaining groove
-   Transmission noise or shift disturbance caused by axial movement
-   Cracked, distorted or heat-discoloured snap ring

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Always fit a new snap ring rather than reusing the one you removed — a ring that has been sprung open once has lost tension
-   Use proper snap-ring pliers and open the ring no further than it needs to go; overstretching it, or levering it in with a screwdriver, leaves it slack in the groove
-   Clean the groove and check it for wear, burrs or spread before fitting, and make sure the ring snaps fully home right the way round — check it by eye, turning the assembly, not just by feel
-   Where the ring has a chamfered or dished face, fit it the right way up with the sharp edge against the load
-   Account for the old ring and any fragments; a piece of broken circlip left inside a gearcase or housing will do serious damage
