Detailed Description

SKF 6307-VSP35 is a precision ball bearing used in manual transmission service where consistent motion and reduced friction are important. The bearing measures 1.378 inches inside diameter, 3.149 inches outside diameter, and 0.944 inches wide, making it a direct-spec component for the listed front transmission positions. It is a strong match for Ford Ranger manual transmission bearing replacement, Ford Explorer front transmission service with Mitsubishi transmission, and Dodge Ram 50 front bearing applications.

SKF has a long history in bearing technology, including early development of self-aligning ball bearing designs. That background shows in the brand’s focus on dimensional accuracy, load handling, and long service life for drivetrain components. The 6307-VSP35 part number is commonly searched for manual transmission bearing replacement on Ford Ranger, Ford Bronco II, and Dodge Ram 50 platforms.

What It Helps Fix

• Transmission noise from a worn front bearing
• Rough or inconsistent shaft rotation inside the manual transmission
• Excess play caused by bearing wear
• Heat and friction from degraded bearing surfaces
• Drivetrain vibration related to bearing deterioration

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bearing dimensions against the removed part before installation. Inspect the mating shaft, race surfaces, and transmission housing for wear or scoring, and replace damaged components as needed. Clean all contact surfaces thoroughly and follow the vehicle service manual for press-fit procedures and torque specifications. Confirm the application is front-position and matches the listed Mitsubishi transmission configuration where noted.

Quality Assurance

SKF manufactures bearings to controlled quality standards focused on durability, dimensional consistency, and safe operation in drivetrain service. The 6307-VSP35 is built for manual transmission use in the listed Ford and Dodge applications.
