Timken LM67049A Manual Transmission Input Shaft Bearing

Timken LM67049A Manual Transmission Bearing

The Timken LM67049A is a manual transmission input shaft bearing built around a tapered roller design for controlled load handling and smooth shaft support. It is a direct-fit service part for select Ford and Mercury applications, including Taurus, Tempo, Escort, Topaz, Tracer, Lynx, and LN7 models.

Key Features

• Tapered roller bearing construction for radial and axial load management
• Inside diameter: 1.250 in. (31.75 mm)
• Cone radius: 0.031 in. (0.80 mm)
• Engineered for higher speeds, heavier loads, and extended service life
• Manual transmission input shaft bearing application
• Timken LM67049A part number for accurate replacement matching

Product Details

Timken is known for tapered roller bearing engineering, and the LM67049A follows that approach with a compact design that supports both radial and axial forces. For manual transmission service, that matters because the input shaft sees constant rotation and load transfer during gear engagement. This bearing is used in select Ford Taurus, Ford Tempo, Ford Escort, Mercury Topaz, Mercury Tracer, Mercury Lynx, and Mercury LN7 applications, making Timken LM67049A a practical replacement when restoring transmission smoothness and shaft support.

This part cross-references Timken (e.g., LM67049A) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Transmission noise from a worn input shaft bearing
• Rough or inconsistent shaft support inside the manual transmission
• Excessive play that can affect gear engagement quality
• Wear-related vibration during drivetrain operation
• Service issues on Ford and Mercury manual transmission applications

Installation Notes

Replace the cone and cup together to maintain bearing reliability and service life. Verify the bearing dimensions and transmission application before installation, and inspect the shaft and race surfaces for wear or scoring. Proper cleaning, lubrication, and assembly practices are important for manual transmission bearing service.

Quality Assurance

Timken is a recognized global manufacturer of tapered roller bearings, with engineering support focused on durability and load control in compact packaging. The LM67049A reflects that bearing expertise for manual transmission service.
