SKF 6306-J Manual Transmission Bearing

SKF 6306-J Manual Transmission Bearing

The SKF 6306-J is a manual transmission bearing built for applications that need smooth rotation, low friction, and dependable load handling. With precise dimensions and broad vehicle coverage, it is a direct-fit option for many front and rear transmission positions across import and domestic platforms.

• Inside diameter: 1.181 in for accurate shaft fitment
• Outside diameter: 2.834 in for secure housing placement
• Width: 0.748 in for proper bearing support and spacing
• Manual transmission bearing for front, rear, front rearward, rear rearward, and front forward positions
• SKF engineering backed by more than a century of bearing development
• This part cross-references 0650 and 000625006306 for the same application.

Precision Bearing Design

SKF 6306-J is designed around a ball-bearing construction that uses sphere-shaped rolling elements to reduce friction while carrying rotational loads. That makes it a practical choice for transmission service where consistent motion and dimensional accuracy matter. The 1.181-inch inside diameter, 2.834-inch outside diameter, and 0.748-inch width help support correct installation in the specified manual transmission applications, including Nissan Pathfinder, Suzuki Grand Vitara, and Mitsubishi Montero platforms.

Compatible With 2006-2010 Hummer H3, front rearward; 2009-2010 Hummer H3T, front rearward; 2003-2009 Kia Sorento, rear; 2004-2006 Mitsubishi Montero, rear; 1999-2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara, front; and additional listed applications through 1950-1967 Volkswagen Beetle, rear. The SKF 6306-J also appears in fitments for Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, and Chevrolet Tracker models across the years shown.

Common Problems This Bearing Can Address

• Excessive transmission bearing noise during operation
• Rough or inconsistent shaft rotation inside the transmission
• Wear-related play at the bearing location
• Heat and friction buildup from a deteriorated bearing surface
• Service replacement for worn manual transmission bearing assemblies

Installation Notes

Verify the inside diameter, outside diameter, and width against the removed bearing before installation. Confirm the exact transmission position listed for your vehicle, since this part is used in multiple locations such as front, rear, front rearward, rear rearward, and front forward. Clean the bearing bore and mating surfaces thoroughly, and inspect adjacent seals, shafts, and races for wear before assembly.

Quality Assurance

SKF has a long history in bearing technology, beginning with the first self-aligning ball bearing in 1907. The 6306-J is manufactured to SKF quality standards for consistent fit, long service life, and dependable operation in manual transmission service.
