## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Fits 31 applications across D engines
-   0.122 kg
-   No published length or diameter — measure the old sleeve

## 🔌 Function

Sets and holds a fixed gap between two components on a bolt or shaft, so the clamping load passes through the sleeve rather than crushing what is between.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Component sitting loose or rocking on its mounting
-   Sleeve ends bruised, burred or crushed
-   Bore worn oval or scored
-   Fretting marks or corrosion where the sleeve meets its faces
-   Fastener through the sleeve repeatedly working loose

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Spacer sleeves 977799 and 977801 are the other two listed here, both far lighter and both against different application sets
-   Check the faces the sleeve bears on for bruising; a dished face will let the joint work loose again

-   Genuine Volvo Penta part
