What VW T4 and T5 gearboxes use the BB1-3255 B bearing?

The BB1-3255 B fits VW Transporter T4 models from 2003 onwards and T5 models with the 5-speed manual gearbox. The VAG OEM part number is 02Z 311 235 E. Always confirm fitment with your vehicle registration or VIN before ordering.

Is this a genuine SKF bearing?

Yes. SKF is a Swedish precision bearing manufacturer and an OEM supplier to Volkswagen Group (VAG). BB1-3255 B is an SKF BB series gearbox bearing used in production on VAG vehicles.

What does the BB1 designation mean?

BB is SKF's internal designation for single row deep groove ball bearings designed to gearbox-specific non-standard dimensions. Unlike standard 6000-series bearings, BB bearings are made to OEM dimensions and cannot always be substituted with catalogue equivalents.

Can I use a standard 6206 or 6306 instead?

No — while the outer diameter of 72mm is shared with a standard 6306, the bore (30mm) and width (20.65mm) of the BB1-3255 B differ from any standard 6000-series bearing. Always use the specified part.
