Timken 202SS Clutch Pilot Bearing

Timken 202SS Clutch Pilot Bearing

The Timken 202SS clutch pilot bearing is a deep groove bearing built for smooth rotation, controlled noise, and stable performance in transmission applications. With a 15.00 mm inside diameter, 35.00 mm outside diameter, and 11.00 mm width, Timken 202SS is sized for direct replacement use where the original bearing matches these dimensions.

Key Features

• Deep groove ball bearing construction for consistent rotational performance
• 15.00 mm inside diameter, 35.00 mm outside diameter, 11.00 mm width
• Surface finish and tight tolerances support higher operating speeds under proper lubrication
• Available in shielded and sealed bearing designs within the Timken deep groove line
• Built to ISO dimensional standards for interchangeability
• Cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 202SSN3, 62022Z) for the same application

Detailed Description

Timken 202SS is a clutch pilot bearing used in transmission service where accurate shaft support and smooth bearing operation matter. The bearing’s 0.591-inch inside diameter, 1.378-inch outside diameter, and 0.433-inch width align with common OE-style dimensions, making it a practical replacement for vehicles such as the Mazda 626, Mazda Miata, Ford Escort, and Kia Sportage when the application calls for this exact size. Timken’s deep groove design is engineered for low noise and vibration, and the bearing follows ISO standards for dimensional interchangeability with competing parts.

Fits 1979-1996 Mazda 626, N/A. Fits 1990-1993 Mazda Miata, N/A. Fits 1991-1996 Ford Escort, N/A. Fits 1995-2002 Kia Sportage, N/A.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Transmission noise from a worn pilot bearing
• Rough or inconsistent clutch engagement caused by bearing wear
• Excess vibration at the input shaft area
• Fitment problems when replacing a bearing with incorrect dimensions
• Premature wear from a bearing that no longer maintains proper rotation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bearing dimensions against the original part before installation. Clean the bore and surrounding components thoroughly, and inspect the input shaft and clutch-related hardware for wear or scoring before pressing in the replacement bearing. Proper lubrication conditions are important for bearing performance, so follow the vehicle service procedure and use the correct installation method for the transmission being serviced.
