Parts supplied from our European supplier

A large part of our range is held by our supplier in Germany rather than on our own shelves. We order these in for you as soon as you place the order. They normally dispatch within 7–10 working days, and are then sent on by express courier like anything else. Nothing ships to you direct from Germany — it comes to our Arlesey workshop first, so you deal only with us for returns and warranty.

Click and collect is available on parts we physically hold. If an item has to come in from our supplier it cannot be collected, and checkout will tell you so before you pay.

International

3–5 working days once dispatched. Any customs charges or excise duties are the responsibility of the buyer.

NSK TM2/28 C3 Rubber Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing – 28x58x16mm

The NSK TM2/28 C3 is a rubber-sealed deep groove ball bearing measuring 28x58x16mm, manufactured by NSK in Japan to OEM specification. The TM-series designation identifies it as a bearing produced specifically for automotive transmission applications. The C3 internal clearance specification is required for bearings installed with an interference fit or in elevated-temperature environments.

Specifications:

  • Brand: NSK
  • Part Number: TM2/28 C3
  • Dimensions: 28 x 58 x 16mm
  • Type: Deep groove ball bearing, double rubber sealed
  • Internal clearance: C3
  • Country of manufacture: Japan

What is the NSK TM-series?

NSK's TM-series bearings are designed and qualified specifically for automotive transmission use. They meet tighter tolerances for noise and vibration than standard commercial-grade bearings and are produced on dedicated transmission-bearing production lines.

Why is C3 clearance specified?

C3 provides greater internal radial clearance than standard (C0). When pressed into a housing or onto a shaft with interference, the clearance reduces in service. C3 ensures the bearing retains sufficient working clearance at operating temperature, preventing overloading.

Is the TM2/28 C3 compatible with a standard 6006-2RS bearing?

The TM2/28 C3 shares the same outer dimensions as the 6206-2RS (28x58x16mm) but the TM designation indicates enhanced internal tolerances. For gearbox applications, always use the TM-series part where specified by the gearbox manufacturer.

What are the symptoms of a failing gearbox bearing?

Common signs include whining, growling, or rumbling from the gearbox, vibration, gear selection difficulty, or metallic debris in the gearbox oil. Early diagnosis and bearing replacement prevents more costly gearbox damage.

Does this bearing require pre-lubrication before fitting?

No. Like all sealed NSK TM-series bearings, the TM2/28 C3 is factory-filled with grease and sealed for life. It should be fitted dry — no additional lubrication is needed or recommended.

Why Choose Eco Torque?

As specialists in gearbox rebuilds and repairs, Eco Torque takes pride in offering genuine gearbox parts, high-quality aftermarket alternatives and competitive pricing.
