What is the NSK TM-series?
NSK's TM-series bearings are designed and qualified specifically for automotive transmission use. They meet tighter tolerances for noise and vibration than standard commercial-grade bearings and are produced on dedicated transmission-bearing production lines.
Why is C3 clearance specified?
C3 provides greater internal radial clearance than standard (C0). When pressed into a housing or onto a shaft with interference, the clearance reduces in service. C3 ensures the bearing retains sufficient working clearance at operating temperature, preventing overloading.
What are the symptoms of a failing gearbox bearing?
Common signs include whining, growling, or rumbling from the gearbox, vibration, gear selection difficulty, or metallic debris in the gearbox oil. Early diagnosis and bearing replacement prevents more costly gearbox damage.
Does this bearing require pre-lubrication before fitting?
No. Like all sealed NSK TM-series bearings, the TM2/28 C3 is factory-filled with grease and sealed for life. It should be fitted dry — no additional lubrication is needed or recommended.
