# 3852915 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta shim from the Marine Propulsion group, with no fitment list published against the number. This is the thinnest step in a graded run that also holds 3852906 at 2.27 g, 3852907 at 4.54 g and 3852909 at 9.07 g, and 0.23 g is the nominal minimum weight shared by many small items here, so it is no guide to thickness.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Thinnest shim in this run
-   No published thickness
-   Order by part number

## 🔌 Function

Provides the finest correction in a shim pack, trimming clearance to specification once the thicker shims have set the bulk of it.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Clearance a fraction out after the pack is built
-   Thin shim buckled, creased or torn on handling
-   Fretting marks where the shim seats
-   Noise from the assembly that changes with load

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Thin shims crease easily - handle flat and discard any that has kinked
-   Measure the removed pack rather than relying on weight to identify the step
