## 📋 Kit Contents

-   Complete assembled reversing gear - Volvo Penta 22876293
-   Engine / transmission mounting kit - Volvo Penta 22882649
-   Internal shafts, gears, bearings and shift components are factory assembled and not separately itemised as kit contents

## 🔌 Function

The gear reduces engine speed to the propeller shaft and provides forward, neutral and reverse selection.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Gear engagement is difficult or noisy
-   Oil leaks from shaft or housing seals
-   Bearing or gear noise develops
-   Shift lever does not reach the full detent position

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Work clean and dry — the reversing gear circulates its oil through everything in this kit, so grit introduced during assembly ends up in the gears and bearings
-   Fit the new seals, gaskets and locking parts supplied with the kit and discard the corresponding old ones, including any that still look serviceable
-   Inspect the flexible coupling, shift linkage, control cable and mountings while the gear is accessible; worn ones will undo the benefit of the new parts
-   Refill with the oil grade and quantity specified for your reversing gear, then recheck the level after a short run once the new parts have taken up oil
-   Confirm the gear engages fully and cleanly in both ahead and astern and returns properly to neutral before the boat is used
