# 3806384 Automatic Transm Core | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Core deposit for an automatic transmission, from the Transmission group. It is the refundable charge raised against the old automatic transmission when the exchange unit is bought, and it comes back once the worn automatic transmission is returned. The line itself is an accounting entry rather than a part, so nothing ships against it on its own. Under Volvo Penta's core numbering the exchange unit it belongs to takes part number 3803384, which is the number to quote for the component itself and the number to check availability against. It carries a published weight of 573.5 kg, which is the mass of the automatic transmission itself and is what to plan the return leg around, since nothing goes out against the deposit. It is the only transmission core in this listing, so there is nothing here to confuse it with, but at this scale the return leg has to be planned with the order rather than after it.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Core deposit line, not an automatic transmission you can fit
-   Belongs with the exchange unit, part number 3803384
-   Refunded when the old automatic transmission is returned
-   Published weight 573.5 kg

## 🔌 Function

As a line item it carries the refundable core charge on the exchange; the transmission itself takes the drive from the engine and passes it to the propeller shaft through the selected gear, giving ahead, neutral and astern.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   This is a deposit line and has nothing to fail in itself; the signs below are what normally condemns the automatic transmission being exchanged
-   Drive slipping under load, or taking up slowly after a gear is selected
-   Harsh or delayed shifts, or no drive at all in ahead or astern
-   Oil dark, burnt-smelling or carrying friction material at an oil change
-   Oil temperature or pressure warnings, or clutch material found in the filter on strip-down

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The charge is refunded when the worn automatic transmission is returned, so keep the old unit and send it back rather than scrapping it
-   Ordering this number on its own supplies no part - it goes on the order beside the exchange unit, part number 3803384
-   At 573.5 kg the old transmission needs lifting gear and goes back as palletised freight, so agree the return method and book the leg when the exchange unit is ordered
