Replacing the scenes on a VAZ-2112 with your own hands: photos and videos

Print this article Font size 16

Many inexperienced drivers begin to panic and talk about a breakdown of the gearbox, although in fact the culprit of the problem is the rocker.

Practice shows that replacement and repair are rare and not very common measures. Much more often, the current situation forces you to simply adjust the scenes.

But today we will talk not only about adjustment, but also talk about the features of modification, repair and replacement of this element.

Element location

Making a short-stroke slide with your own hands

The diagram shows in detail where you need to cut with a grinder, and where you need to cook. So, let's begin the modernization process:

We raise the place of attachment of the piece of iron that goes from the gearbox to the lever inside the VAZ 2110 interior.
You can do without dismantling the rocker, the main thing is to disassemble the ball joint.
Now we need to ensure that the plastic paws release the ball. To do this, you need to unclench the metal ring. We disconnect the rod and carefully drag it inside through the cover, which is responsible for protecting it from dirt. It will be much more convenient to work if the clamp near the gearbox is loosened.

Adjustment is made using this lever.

Guided by the diagram, we cut off the parts using a grinder. It is necessary to weld a piece of metal pipe with a wall thickness of about 3 millimeters into the rod. To avoid skew, it is necessary to use identical pieces. The pull can be lengthened by 2-4 centimeters.
All that remains is to raise the hinge with the hook, which serves to prevent an erroneous shift to reverse gear 2110.

Replacement is carried out according to the same scheme. Only instead of welding, a freelance short-stroke rocker from another car is installed. Replacement is a more expensive solution, so doing it yourself is problematic. If you have experience working with gearboxes, then replacing and purchasing a new part will cost about 1,000 rubles.

Replacing a car's rocker, eliminating play

The design of the gear lever movement device is invented with the aim of uninterrupted operation of the gearbox. You can repair the backstage yourself or with the help of a partner for convenience. Most car enthusiasts are inclined to replace the standard rocker with a short-throw one. Installing a short-throw rocker is a type of tuning that allows you to reduce the limit of movement of the gear shift lever.

When using such a link, gear shifting occurs clearly and quickly. The process of replacing a regular link with a short-stroke one is quite simple. It is necessary to lift the fastening of the iron rod that runs from the gearbox to the shift lever in the passenger compartment. In this case, it is not necessary to remove the link; you only need to disassemble the spherical support.

Then open the iron ring until the plastic tabs move apart and the ball is released. After this, loosen the clamp near the gearbox, disconnect the rod and drag it in using the dirt cover. While in the pit, cut off the parts and weld a pipe into a rod, no more than 2-3 mm thick, and a piece of sheet metal, 5-6 mm thick. The rod is usually cut off by 2-4 cm.

A simpler option, but quite expensive, is purchasing a new rod. A short-stroke slide costs about 700 rubles.

Large play on the rocker is a disease of the car model in question, the cause is the original gearbox driveshaft. To carry out repairs, you need to purchase the cardan itself. For this car, it is suitable from Kalina; it is purchased together with the boot. For the repair itself, a minimum of tools is required: keys “13” and “10”, a screwdriver and a hammer.

Repair or replacement is carried out on an inspection pit or lift. You will need the assistance of an assistant to make subsequent adjustments to the shift lever. Using two keys set to “13”, stretch the clamp on the rod and pull the drive off the rocker rod. Use a screwdriver to push the boot towards the gearbox or remove it completely.

Unscrew the bolt and knock down the cardan with weak blows of a hammer. Installation of a new one is carried out in the reverse order, that is, first you need to put the boot on and the cardan on the shaft. After the bolt aligns exactly with the recess on the shaft, put the boot on the universal joint.

Reasons for replacement

There are several situations when the owner of a VAZ 2109 has or wants to get into the design of the gearbox and specifically work with the rocker:

Oil is leaking due to a damaged rocker seal. It must be replaced;
The old drawstring was out of order;
I would like to exchange the long-stroke for a short-stroke in view of its advantages.

Now to the question of when replacing or repairing the backstage is a necessary measure.

The backlash of the gearbox selector has increased significantly.
Gears change with difficulty, and when changing speed, extraneous sounds appear.
It is possible to change gears, but with a lot of effort.
Speeds change incorrectly. Instead of one, a completely different one turns on.
It is impossible to turn on all or part of the gears at all.

Even if the resulting play is still insignificant, it is advisable to immediately begin repairs or completely change the drawstring.

Replacing the oil seal

If you find that the oil in the gearbox is gradually disappearing, you can suspect the rocker seal. There is nothing else left to do but change the element.

First, buy a new shift rod seal. It costs about 70-100 rubles.
Drain the oil from the box, having prepared a clean container in advance. This is in case you refill the same oil. Although this is an excellent reason for you to change the transmission lubricant at the same time.
To make sure the oil flows out better, first unscrew the filler plug or remove the speedometer gear. After draining the oil, screw the cap back on.
We climb under the car and disconnect the fasteners of the gearbox lever driveshaft.
Pull the boot off the cardan, unscrew the bolts securing it to the gearshift rod. Problematic fasteners that you will have to tinker with.
After removing the cardan shaft, remove the rod boot.
We remove the damaged oil seal using an awl or suitable available tools. The main thing here is the stock itself.
We install a new one in place of the old oil seal and press it with a tube of the appropriate diameter.
Put the boot back in place and rotate the driveshaft.
Please note that the bolt securing the cardan to the rod is an adjustment bolt. Therefore, screw it in exactly the same way as before dismantling. Otherwise, some speeds may not turn on.

Stuffing box

After the work done, do not forget to check the result.

Replacing the cardan

Practice shows that if problems arise with the slide, it is not at all necessary to completely change it.

Kardanchik

The instructions for replacing the cardan are as follows.

Using two 13mm spanners, unscrew the clamp that relates to the speed switch drive rod.
Pull the boot off with a screwdriver, moving towards the box. If you want, remove it completely. So it definitely won’t interfere with the repair process.
Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the fixing bolt on the cardan.
Apply several gentle, not strong blows with a hammer to knock the cardholder off the shaft. Remove the boot to the side if you have not done so before.
We replace the old cardan with a part from Kalina. It is more reliable, efficient and durable.
For reassembly you will need the help of a friend. Do not rush to tighten the clamp immediately at the end.
The assistant will set the position of the gearshift lever at the optimal points from inside the cabin. First you need to catch the center, then move the lever a little to the right while you tighten the clamps from below.
Check if the gears engage well. If yes, then we continue assembling the unit and check the updated gearbox under real road conditions.

The experience of VAZ 2109 owners shows that when there are problems with the rocker, the essence often lies in an unsuccessful factory cardan. By replacing it with an analogue from Kalina, you will be able to get rid of discomfort and continue to confidently operate your car. By replacing the cardan shaft, the design of the gearbox will improve significantly.

Adjustment

After changing the link or cardan, you should definitely adjust the operation of the unit.

Engage reverse gear, loosen the clamp tension.
Set the gearbox selector to the position in which it should ideally be located when engaging reverse.
Tighten the clamp back.
A similar operation is performed with other speeds.

There are situations among VAZ 2109 owners when difficulties arise when engaging reverse gear. This is where adjustment can help.

Set the gear lever to first gear;
Loosen the rocker clamp;
Turn the rocker drive counterclockwise;
Turn the drive until the selector is pressed against the plastic stopper for the reverse gear. You will feel this without any problems;
Resting against the stopper, tighten the clamp under the bottom. That's it, the adjustment is done.

Adjustment process

Installing a short-stroke cardan

The first step is to purchase the cardan itself. The best choice would be a part from Priora or Kalina. Usually it is included in the repair kit with a boot, so the standard boot from a VAZ 2110 will not fit here.

Required tools:

Hammer.
Screwdriver.
Keys for “10” and “13” (2 pieces).

Work is performed only if there is an overpass, inspection hole or lift. It is also recommended to call an assistant for help, since at the end of the process it will be problematic to independently adjust the position of the gearshift lever.

Cardan shaft mounting location. Here you need to unscrew it with the 13th key.

The work proceeds according to the following scheme:

Armed with two 13 keys, we need to loosen the clamp on the drive rod and then pull it off the rod.
The next step is to dismantle the boot. Next, use the 10th key to unscrew the bolt, which is a lock on the standard cardan. Now you can remove the cardan with gentle blows of a hammer.

Important: it is necessary to check the condition of the oil seal. If this is the first intervention in the gearbox, then it is most likely in a worn condition, so it is recommended to change the boot.

We install the driveshaft from the Priora in the reverse order: put on the boot and install the new driveshaft, securely tighten the fixing bolt, and then tighten the boot. All that remains is to put the drive rod on the cardan rod, but the clamp should not be tightened.
Now the assistant gets behind the wheel and places the gearshift lever in the optimal position. At this time, the clamp is tightened. Done, the replacement is complete, all that remains is to test the switching.

Adjusting the scenes of the VAZ 2110

It is preferable to carry out the adjustment together. The master with the tools is under the car, the assistant is in the cabin and performs the necessary actions behind the wheel.

Try to install and hold the lever in first gear.
Loosen the clamp on the control drive rod (stage).
Move the lever to the far left position. Avoid switching to front and rear positions.
Tighten the clamp.
Assess the condition of the hinge switch cover. If damage is found, replace it.
Carefully pull the boot towards the box. Inspect the cardan. Deviations from the norm are noticed - schedule a shift. Pull the protection back.

What to do if the gearshift lever on a VAZ 2109 and 2110 is loose? We can fix everything

Designer error. The metal bushing clings to the rod when moving. The result is a rattling sound. There is no way to fix the problem;
Bushing failure;
Lever from Lada Kalina;
Malfunction of the backstage cardan;
Wear of the box or its fastenings.

Diagnostics

In any car, the gearbox is used to prevent the car from changing gears on its own. This part needs to be monitored and looked after; in addition, over time it becomes loose and requires adjustment. If the adjustment has not been made for a long time or it was performed poorly, then the driver will feel uncomfortable when driving the car.

It is because of this that prevention should be carried out, as well as due attention should be paid to the scenes. If the car begins to behave somehow incorrectly, then it is necessary not to delay the repair.

Gearbox slide

To understand that the rocker requires adjustment or replacement, you just need to monitor the operation of the gearbox.

As a rule, when a failure occurs, the following symptoms appear:

Difficulty when engaging 1st gear. As a rule, it is difficult to engage the gear; the driver has to practically drive the lever in to engage 1st speed.
Possibly difficult shifting from 1st to 2nd speed.
Due to a loose lever, it is not 1st speed that is engaged, but reverse. This is very dangerous, especially at a traffic light, at the start. It is necessary to urgently repair the rocker, otherwise the problem will only get worse.
Difficulty engaging 5th gear, while other speeds can be engaged smoothly.
There is play in the shift knob. As a rule, the rocker only requires replacement and adjustment is not necessary.
Extraneous sounds appeared coming from under the car, or rather from the gearbox. As a rule, the sound becomes ringing. This problem is a disease of the entire VAZ 2110-2112 family. As a rule, such a ringing can appear after repairing the car’s suspension.
When driving, the speed may jump. In other words, the car, gaining acceleration, independently disables the engaged gear and switches to neutral speed. For further driving, you will need to keep the lever at the desired speed constantly so that it does not jump out.
Strong vibration that occurs on the shift knob. This is due to the failure of the scenes. It will need to be repaired to solve the problem.

If the symptoms described above appear, then you will need to begin repair work. You should completely replace the linkage or simply adjust it and gear shifting will become comfortable again. Therefore, it should be adjusted before replacing.

Adjusting the work of the scenes

Backstage adjustment

Adjustment is made only in cases where:

The gearbox was removed and installed back;
Previously, repairs were carried out to replace the cardan;
In the case when the hinges on the slide have turned.

Of course, adjustments can be made at other points as described earlier. Do not forget that even minimal gaps can disrupt the correct operation of the entire transmission.

Naturally, before starting repair work and adjustments, you will need to prepare the right size wrenches. With their help, the clamps will be loosened. You should also place bricks, stones or special anti-roll devices under the wheels.

When everything is ready, you can begin the work process itself. To do this you need:

It is recommended to use an overpass or pit for repairs; if these are not available, then use reliable jacks. Next, you should go to the garage. When the car is ready for repair, it is necessary for safety to put on the handbrake and throw bricks or specialized devices under the wheels that will prevent the car from rolling away. Next, you need to crawl under the car and find a special clamp. It connects the hinge and the rocker itself. Then you will need to loosen it using a wrench. Loosen the clamp

Next you need to get out from under the car and get behind the wheel.

Now engage reverse gear, it is only important not to confuse it with 1st gear. Therefore, you should look at the position of the lever, it should be maximally in the upper left corner

It is recommended to do this procedure with someone. This person will need to hold the lever in a locked position. Next, you need to climb under the car again and tighten the clamp, applying great force.

That's the whole process of adjusting the scenes. Nothing complicated, the main thing is to follow safety precautions.

Parts and tools required for replacement

Before you start replacing the crosspiece, you need to purchase the necessary parts and arm yourself with tools. So, when buying an outboard bearing, you first need to check the smoothness and elasticity of the rubber. If suddenly the bearing rotates with a kind of snag, then it is better not to buy one. And in general, there are many secrets. You need to understand the details and spare parts in order to avoid mistakes. Likewise with rubber, if it is too hard, then after installing the cardan and crosspiece, the car will vibrate while driving, since insufficiently elastic rubber will transmit oscillatory movements. As for the crosspiece, it is better to take a new one from VAZ, and do not forget to purchase retaining rings at the same time, because it will no longer be possible to install the old ones, since they will either quickly fail or are no longer suitable for use.

Now let's look at what tools you need to prepare. To replace the suspension bearing and crosspieces on a VAZ, you will need to arm yourself with the following tools:

wrenches and spanners 12, 13, 27;
copper or aluminum insert;
hammer;
compression pliers for working with retaining rings;
tension puller;
flexible coupling flange.

Replacing the cross

We begin work, as always, by lifting the car onto the inspection hole. You can also use the overpass. It is worth considering that when working in a pit, you will have to use a jack when you need to unscrew the cardan mounting nuts from the rear side.

Removing the cardan

So let's begin:

remove the parking brake cable spring;
using a center punch we apply marks where the cardan is connected to the gearbox;
take a 13mm wrench and unscrew the bolts securing the suspension bearing to the transverse support;
unscrew the nuts that secure the cardan to the rear axle;

when unscrewing bolts and nuts, it is recommended to hold the cardan with a screwdriver to avoid twisting;
First, remove one end of the cardan;

using a center punch we mark the position of the centering flange of the EF and the cardan to each other;
bend the locking tabs on the seal ring in the place where the ESP is located;
we move the cage towards the cardan together with the seal;
take the 13mm head and use it to unscrew the nuts securing the safety bar;
remove it;

move on to the outboard bearing plate;
take a 13mm wrench and unscrew the nuts securing the part;
remove the cardan from the EF splines;
we extract it.

At this stage, the removal of the propeller shaft is completed. This video will help you do everything right

Cardan disassembly

Before disassembling the driveshaft, it is necessary to mark the relative positions of the parts with a center punch or chisel. You can also use paint for these purposes. A mark is made so that the initial balancing is not changed. So:

we mark the placement of the forks and shaft relative to each other;
remove the retaining rings using pliers;
take a puller and install it on the crosspiece fork;
press out the bearing, which should fall into the puller cup.

It is worth remembering that a bearing of this type extends out of the fork only a third of its height.

the opposite bearing should be pressed out accordingly;
take a hammer and a screwdriver and knock out the pressed bearings completely from the fork body (the screwdriver needs to be rested against the edge of the bearing);
remove the fork from the cross;

press out the other pair of bearings in the same way.

That's all. We finish disassembling the cardan. All retaining rings must be removed, all lugs must be cleaned of rust and dirt, as well as the grooves for the retaining rings.

Installing a new cross

Installing the crosspieces will not be difficult. You will need to remove two cups from the opposite side of the crosses and insert new ones into the springs. Begin:

take plastic plugs and install them together with seals;
bearings should be lubricated with Fiol;
using a removable device, press the bearings into place;
install the retaining ring;
press in the second bearing on the other side of the fork so that the first rests against the retaining ring;
after that we install the second retaining ring;
take a hammer and a bit (a screwdriver will do);
With light blows you need to drive the locking rings all the way;
take a special feeler gauge and measure the gap.

Attention: It is worth noting that a gap of 0.04 mm between the retaining ring and the bearing is considered normal. As you know, retaining rings come in different sizes. Their difference is not only in diameter, but also in thickness. Each type and size of locking rings has its own color, which helps the consumer when choosing. Thus, completely unpainted rings are the thinnest in thickness, and yellow ones are the thickest.

Removal and repair of outboard bearing

Typically, the suspension bearing (pictured above) comes in two types: removable and non-removable. It is clear that in the first case no problems should arise, but in the second it will be necessary to change the driveshaft assembly, which will not be very cheap. The malfunction of the removable outboard bearing can be determined with your own hands, based on the following steps:

when driving, you can hear a kind of hum that comes from nowhere;
the car is lifted onto an inspection pit or overpass, where a specialist or driver makes sure that the noise is coming from the part of the car where the suspension bearing is located (it must be taken into account that the noise is often accompanied by vibration);
the universal joint fastening bolt is unscrewed and lowered to the ground (in this case, you need to do everything carefully, as required by the instructions, so that all the oil does not leak out in vain);
We check the bearing for play, which is the main criterion for evaluating performance.

Replacing the outboard bearing is not that difficult. It is done after the driveshaft is removed (how to remove it is discussed above). It would be a good idea to arm yourself with vinegar or a special liquid that will help decarbonize the bolts and nuts that may be rusty. So, let's start:

remove the rear driveshaft and, of course, the crosspiece;
take the 27mm socket and use it to unscrew the nut securing the front cardan fork;
take a puller that is placed on the fork;
press the fork off the spitz;
take a 13mm wrench and unscrew the bolts securing the outboard bearing, which secure it to the plate;

knock out the bearing from the shaft, resting it on the corners;
the cardan is assembled in the reverse order;
The slots must be lubricated with Fiol-1 grease and the previously marked marks must be aligned;
the seal ring is assembled after installing the splined part of the cardan;
the locking tendrils are bent after the clip moves forward.

The step-by-step instructions presented to the reader above will help all motorists repair their car. As you know, the price of repair services today is not cheap and it would be simply inappropriate not to use the advice given above. All the tips and recommendations given above were put into practice not only by specialists, but also by ordinary novice motorists.

Frequent breakdowns of the scenes

A breakdown of the rocker in a VAZ-2110 is accompanied by the following main symptoms:

A faulty gear lever play means that the part cannot be repaired, only replaced.
If you hear a ringing in the wings, then perhaps the VAZ-2110 has a built-in part with a manufacturing defect. Sometimes the ringing appears after repair work has been carried out; you cannot leave the car in this condition; the mistakes made will have to be sorted out and corrected.
If the driver notices that the speed is turned on poorly, use one of the following solutions to the problem - try to repair the rocker, or maybe it’s better to replace it right away.
When reverse gear turns on instead of first speed, the problem is absolutely not in the rocker; the real cause of the breakdown will still have to be determined.
Does the gearbox lever vibrate very much while the car is moving? This means that there is significant play inside the gearbox knob hinges.

Differences between a short-stroke link

The main differences can be seen even in photographs. We see that the short-stroke rocker has smaller dimensions, namely length. To reduce the stroke length at startup, the length of the transmission under the hinge should be increased. Due to this, we can not only get shorter gears, but also maintain the traction axis in its original position.

The photo shows a self-modernized backstage. As an alternative, you can use a part from other VAZ models.

It is worth understanding that after such tuning, you will need to put more effort when changing speeds. After upgrading, switching will resemble joystick control, which is undoubtedly a plus. In addition to the rocker, you can install a backlash-free cardan, which will also have a positive effect on the smooth operation of the gearbox.

How to repair a car

Many car owners of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars are faced with unpleasant vibration on the gear shift knob, which is caused by increased play in the connection. The appearance of play occurs as a result of wear of the gear shift pad. Symptoms of a broken rocker pad include rattling and loss of gear shift clarity. These symptoms include another malfunction - a broken gear selection rod hinge. If you're having problems with it, here's how to replace your selector rod pivot.

If you replaced the gear selector rod joint, and the problem did not go away, the rattling and vibration of the rocker remained, then you need to pay attention to the rocker pad

Replacing the gearshift pad on VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars

On VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars, when unpleasant rattling, vibration and increased play in the gearshift knob appear, the happy owners of these vehicles should pay attention to the condition of the ball joint race of the gear shift link or as it is also called in common parlance gear shift pad. There is another option - butterfly wings

But, I personally like the second option))). Due to the fault of this very pillow (ball joint cage) being completely broken, the clarity of gear shifting may also disappear. Yes, I know that all the listed symptoms also include a broken cardan (joint) of the gear selection rod. What kind of cardan is this and how to replace it you can find out from this article. But we’re not talking about him now and let’s assume that everything is ok with him. Or, as another option, the cardan was replaced, but the rattling and play of the rocker did not disappear. This also happens; not everyone immediately pays attention to the backstage cushion. But, it exists and it periodically fails (breakage of rubber “ears”, ejection of metal bushings, breakage of a plastic bushing or spring). The destruction of the rubber part of the cushion (ball joint race) of the rocker is not difficult to replace (see photos 1 and 15). And if you find them, then it’s time for you to get ready for work. Let me reassure you right away, it’s not complicated. But for everything to go smoothly, you need to be thoroughly prepared. That is, buy the necessary spare parts, decide on the location of the work, assemble the necessary tools and, of course, familiarize yourself with and remember in what sequence you should replace the cushion (ball joint race) of the gear shift lever on VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ- 2112. And I will try to help you with this, and I invite you to further read this material.

Spare parts. Here the choice is obvious. I recommend choosing the ball joint clip for the gearshift mechanism of VAZ 2110-2112 cars - BRT (Balakovo). As they say, time-tested quality. Photo 2.

List of tools that you will need to replace the cushion (ball joint race) of the gearshift gates of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars: a 13-socket and socket wrench, a 10-size combination wrench, pliers, a flat-head screwdriver and a small ratchet with with a cross attachment (photos 3 and 4). The need for a ratchet with an attachment will be shown a little later. And you should immediately decide on the location of the work. It is advisable to replace the cushion in an inspection pit, overpass or lift. Why is it desirable? Because this work can be done “from the ground”, but believe me, it will take more time and effort. And it will still be a pleasure.

And so, into battle! Let's proceed to independently replacing the cushion (ball joint cage) of the gearshift slides of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars:

Let's start working inside the car. Use a screwdriver to pry up the frame of the decorative cover of the gearshift slide (photo 5). Pull the lever handle up and remove it along with the cover.

Using a 10 mm spanner, unscrew the two fastening nuts and the bolt of the reverse locking bracket lining and remove it (photos 6 and 7).

Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the lever axle nut (photo 8). After this, use a wrench with an attachment (in my case it’s a ratchet) to unscrew the axle locking screw (photo 9). Without such a key, this screw will be difficult to unscrew. We take out the axle (photo 10). We remove the set of bushings from the lever, otherwise we risk losing them (photo 11). All. Now the work inside the car is finished, let's climb under the car.

Using a 13 mm socket wrench, unscrew the two nuts of the rocker pad bracket (photo 12). And remove the bracket.

Next, you should disconnect the reaction rod from the cushion (ball joint cage) of the rocker. We use a spanner wrench (hold the nut on top with it) and a 13mm socket wrench (photo 13).

We pull down the pillow along with the lever (photos 14 and 15). Remove the retaining ring (photo 16) and remove the lever along with the plastic bushing (photos 17 and 18).

All. We clean the lever hinge from dirt, lubricate it, and put on a plastic bushing. We place this whole thing in the pillow body and secure it with a locking ring (photos 19 and 20). We return this entire structure to its place (photo 21). Don't forget to put a cover on the pillow (photo 22).

Ready. We carry out the rest of the assembly in reverse order. The work on replacing the butterfly cushion (ball joint cage) of the gearshift gates of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars has been completed. I hope it's successful)))

How to repair a gearbox shifter

Let's look at the removal and repair of a gearbox using the example of a manual transmission selector. The automatic transmission gear shift lever is removed in the same way.

Since the design of the lever is quite complex, and its repair requires the use of special tools, the best option would be to contact a car service center.

If you decide to repair the gearbox yourself, stock up on a 10-size wrench, a 12-size wrench and socket head, a 6-size hex key, an extension cord, a wrench, and pliers.

Before starting repairs, remove the gearbox rocker as follows.

Dismantle the lining of the floor tunnel, disconnect the ends of the transmission control drive cables from the levers with which gears are selected and shifted, remove the bracket that secures the cable shells in the sockets of the gearbox selector rocker, remove the cable ends from the sockets of the mechanism.

Next, you need to unscrew the bolts used to secure the gearbox rocker to the base of the body and dismantle the mechanism. Repair of the mechanism is carried out according to the following algorithm.

The tightening of the nut on the selector axis is loosened, while the axis is kept from turning using a hex wrench. The nut is unscrewed, the spring and flat washers are removed from the axle, the axle is removed from the holes in the rocker, as well as the flat and spring washers, the selector lever is removed along with the return spring and the flat washer placed under the lever.

The rubber damping bushing of the return spring is removed from the threaded end of the bolt that secures the transmission lever support cover. If the bushing is significantly deformed, torn or in a hardened state, it should be replaced.

The nut that tightens the bolt that secures the gearbox selector support cover is loosened. Then it is unscrewed, while the bolt is held from turning with a second key, the spring and flat washers located below are removed, the bolt is removed together with the flat washer from the holes of the rocker.

The cover of the manual transmission selector support is dismantled, the lever is removed from the rocker support.

If necessary, plastic crackers are removed from the ball ends of the gear selector knob.

Dismantled parts are carefully inspected. In case of deformation or weakening of the return spring, significant wear of the plastic bushings of the gear selector lever, deformation of the lever, wear or damage to the cotters of the manual transmission lever, they do not need to be repaired, but replaced.

If it is necessary to replace damaged or hardened bushings of the gearbox support, the spacer metal bushings are removed from the holes of the rubber bushings, and then the rubber elements are removed from the holes of the gearbox rocker.

After repair, assembly and installation of the transmission lever linkage is carried out in the reverse order.

Do-it-yourself repairs and preparatory work

Replacing the VAZ 2110 gearbox cushion

The knocking starts when the gear is switched from 1 to 2 or from 3 to 4. The knocking also occurs when driving on country roads at one speed. One thought immediately arises: the checkpoint is buzzing. What to do? Contact a car service center or look for the cause yourself. A car enthusiast, not a specialist, needs to know a simple truth. At service stations, minor repairs are taken on reluctantly or even refused due to workload. They may, of course, offer to repair the gearbox. Since such repairs will bring financial profit. But the result is the same. The knock under the bottom will remain. Therefore, there is no need to despair. You need to visit a car store and buy the necessary spare parts:

2 assembled pillows (choose from the Volzhsky Rubber Plant or Balakovo);
2 bolts M12x75; 4 washers dia. 12 mm;
2 nuts - 12 mm with nylon insert;
2 bolts M10x25; 6 wide washers - 10 mm;
2 engraving washers - 10 mm;
1 VAZ-2108 timing case bushing.

Followed by:

Drive the car into the garage into the inspection pit:
Connect the lamp with the lantern closed;
Visually inspect the attachment points of the box cushions. The knock can be produced by the rocker (see Replacing the rocker on a VAZ 2110 on your own), hitting the transverse rod. All due to the fact that the gearbox sagged. The gap from the link to the rod should be more than 5 mm.

When there is enough time, it is necessary to replace the gearbox mounting pads. It is advisable not to delay this. If the box is sagging, you need to find the cause and eliminate it. First, try tightening the left mount nut on the gearbox. Due to its spontaneous unscrewing, the engine and the gearbox sag. If this operation does not help, then you need to change it.

Replacing rubber supports

Replacing a pillow on a VAZ 2110 gearbox

Let's get started:

Raise the car with a jack and place it on secure stands.
Place a beam or a section of channel across the hole under the box.
Place the jack on it, place a 50x100 mm wooden board with a cross-section about 20 cm long on the top of the jack.
Raise the box with a jack to remove the weight from the cushion (install the jack closer to the cushion support).

Inspect the supports to determine their condition. If the rubber has hardened, cracked, or separated from the metal, then they need to be replaced. Before starting work, you need to prepare the tools and accessories:
sealant;
two containers for bolts and washers;
a pry bar or large screwdriver;
jack;
open-end wrenches, heads.

Removing the left support:

unscrew the three nuts securing the pillow to the box,
unscrew the through bolt fastening to the body frame;
remove the left cushion.

Second fastenings:

unscrew the two through bolts on the box;
also two blind bolts fastening to the body, remove together with the clamp.

Remove the old rubber mounts from the gear assembly (you can use a large screwdriver to make the job easier).
Install them in reverse order.

Additional support for gearbox and engine

During work, the following should be observed:

When installing new cushions, the box should rise in height by about 5 mm.
You can also install an additional engine mount, this will move the engine forward, which will reduce the load on the gearbox, or install an additional mount on the box.
Carefully inspect the bottom of the body in the area of the box fastenings. There, the manufacturer left holes for attaching this support.

This additional solution secures it more rigidly, which will eliminate the knocking of the wings on the rod

The most important part of the gearbox mounting is the supports. If the rubber mounts are damaged or worn out, the vibration that occurs when accelerating damages the machine's transmission. To carry out independent replacement of gearbox supports, you must read the relevant literature

You also need to watch videos on repairs. In addition, it will be useful to carefully study the photo in order to carry out the work in order, and slowly study the step-by-step instructions. As a rule, the price of box supports in auto stores is within the range of 450 rubles, and the cost of an additional suspension is 1000 rubles. Therefore, you need to be careful about your car. He will serve his caring owner with faith and truth.

Backstage replacement and repair

Taking into account the fact that during operation of a car, the rocker on a VAZ or on any other car experiences constant loads, the mechanism wears out, and adjustments get lost

For this reason, it is important to understand what in a particular case would be the optimal solution: repair, adjustment or replacement of the rocker with a standard new one or a short-stroke one

In any case, it is necessary to first disassemble the mechanism. To do this you will need:

remove the cover on the gearshift knob;
drive the car onto a pit or overpass/lift;
remove the tunnel where the gearshift knob is installed by unscrewing the bolts;
dismantle the rocker itself (on a VAZ 2110 it is secured with six bolts).

During the disassembly process, you need to carefully check the condition of each individual part, you should also bend the boot, check the condition of the support, oil seal, cardan, etc.

If, for example, the oil seal has failed, then it is enough to have a repair kit where such an oil seal is included. This kit will also come in handy if more complex repairs to the backstage are required.

We also note that a common problem that drivers note during operation is the rattling of the rocker. Typically, in this case, if there are no other complaints, the drawstring cushion is often the culprit.

At the same time, replacing the rocker cushion is not a complicated procedure, but the result is often positive and significantly increases the comfort when operating the vehicle.

Another important procedure in the process of servicing the rocker is replacing the rocker rod oil seal. It is important to understand that the serviceability of not only the operation of the scenes, but also the gearbox directly depends on its condition

If drops of transmission oil are visible under the car, this often indicates that the seal is leaking. As a rule, problems with the VAZ 2110 rocker seal appear in the form of a crunching noise when switching.

As for replacing the oil seal, the car needs to be driven into a pit or raised on a lift. Next, you should inspect the rubber boot. If it is not sealed or is torn, traces of oil will be visible.

Then you should bend the boot, disconnect the cardan and thus gain access to the cuff. Now the cardan is removed from the lever, after which it is disconnected from the rocker. After removal, you can get to the oil seal and then use an awl or hook to remove the gearbox cuff.

In fact, such repairs allow you to avoid oil leaks in the gearbox and improve the operation of the gear shift mechanism

Finally, we note that it is also important to carry out adjustments and settings after repairs.

The fact is that even a serviceable, but incorrectly configured rocker will not work properly. By the way, on a VAZ 2110 it’s difficult to set up the rocker yourself. To make the process easier, it is better to immediately invite an assistant.

Airbag malfunctions

Understand that pillows

They have become unusable based on the amount of engine vibration. If it operates in normal mode, and the body begins to rattle, transmitting vibration to the steering rack, pedal block, and instrument panel, you can be sure that the reason for this is the wear of the pillows.

The greatest vibration is usually observed when the engine starts, as well as when it is turned off. When the rubber cushions are completely worn out, a knocking noise may appear caused by the contact of the engine elements and its supports.

Read:

To be more convincing, start the engine, open the hood and visually inspect the engine mounts and the cushions themselves. Replacing the VAZ 2110 clutch without removing the box and draining the oil. Place your palm on the motor and feel how much it vibrates.

The causes of failure of engine mounts can be:

deformation due to spent life, mechanical or temperature effects;
loss of elasticity due to “aging” of rubber and temperature changes;
delamination or cracking caused by exposure to chemically active liquids.

Adjusting the scenes of the VAZ 2110

It is preferable to carry out the adjustment together. The master with the tools is under the car, the assistant is in the cabin and performs the necessary actions behind the wheel.

Try to install and hold the lever in first gear.
Loosen the clamp on the control drive rod (stage).
Move the lever to the far left position. Avoid switching to front and rear positions.
Tighten the clamp.
Assess the condition of the hinge switch cover. If damage is found, replace it.
Carefully pull the boot towards the box. Inspect the cardan. Deviations from the norm are noticed - schedule a shift. Pull the protection back.

Adjustment

The backstage adjustment should be made in several cases:

after dismantling the gearbox;
when the cardan has been replaced or the fixing clamps have become loose;
if the linkage rotates on the hinge.

Of course, this will also be advisable if you have recorded signs of a malfunction of the element, which are described in the previous paragraph.

What to cook?

Before you begin repairs, prepare in advance:

wrench to loosen the clamp;
wheel chocks or bricks.

Universal wrench

You will need wheel chocks...

...or the most ordinary bricks

Step by step instructions

To perform repairs, that is, adjustments, you need to perform the following steps:

First, drive your VAZ 2110 into a garage with a pit or onto an overpass.
Place bricks or special wheel chocks under the car. Apply the handbrake.
Climb under the bottom of the car and find the clamp that secures the linkage and hinge.
Use a wrench to loosen the clamp.
Then sit in the driver's seat and put the car into reverse. Remember that the lever must be in the extreme left position. Therefore, set it the way you think it should ideally be when engaging reverse gear. It is advisable to do this work with an assistant so that he holds the gearbox lever in the position you set it.
Now again climb under the bottom of the car and firmly fix the clamp in this position.

Reach under the bottom and loosen the clamp, then set the gearbox lever to the reverse gear position

This completes the adjustment of the device. Take a test drive and check the operation of the unit. If necessary, repeat all steps again.

Backstage adjustment:

Note! Before you go to the auto store and buy a new rocker, be sure to try to adjust the old one first so as not to waste money, maybe everything is fine with the old rocker!

1) At the very beginning of the operation, we will tell you why the adjustment of the rocker may go wrong, namely, after removing the box, after replacing the cardan shaft, or after unscrewing the nuts and bolts that secure the tension clamps of the rods that come from the rocker, and in other cases.

2) Now let’s move on to the actual adjustments, firstly, you will need to first drive the car into a pit or lift it using a lift, then climb under the bottom of the car and there you will find the boot under which the driveshaft itself is located (the boot is indicated by a red arrow), next to with this cardan and the boot that covers it, the end of the rod coming from the rocker itself will be attached, and this end will be attached using a tie clamp, so take two screwdrivers in your hands and with their help loosen the bolt nut a little (the nut is indicated by a blue arrow, and the bolt green), while when you loosen, hold the bolt itself with one wrench so that it does not turn, and with the other at this time loosen the nut, after the nut is slightly loosened, take a screwdriver in your hands and insert it into two holes, namely in the hole between the tie clamp (Indicated by a yellow arrow) and into the hole of the rod itself (Indicated by a white arrow), thereby widening both holes (In fact, these are not holes but a groove, so in the future we will use this word) so that the link rod can easily move relative to gear selector rod.

Note! Before you crawl under the car, put the car into first gear!

3) After you loosen the tension clamp, get out from under the car and return to the car interior. In the cabin, move the gear shift lever all the way to the left, but forward or backward and do not even try to pull it.

4) And to complete the operation, again climb under the car and tighten the nut of the same bolt that secured the tie rod of the rocker link.

Note! When all the operations are completed, test the gearshift lever for functionality, namely, check whether all gears engage clearly, start the car, drive it a little and if the shifter is working, then everything will be fine and you won’t even need to change anything!

By the way, another way (almost the same method) of adjusting the rocker, see the video clip below, in this video an example is shown on a VAZ 2109 car, but don’t pay attention to this, since the entire gear shift mechanism is on front-wheel drive cars VAZ, including the top ten, is practically no different from each other!

Repair

Regardless of what exactly you do with the rocker - repair, adjust or change, you will still need to disassemble this unit.

Disassembly is performed as follows.

Remove the cover from your gear shift knob.
Place the car on a pit, or raise the front end with a jack.
Remove the front console. It is held in place by mounting bolts.
Now remove the curtain itself. To fix it, AvtoVAZ used 6 bolts in the case of the VAZ 2110 model.
When carrying out dismantling work, be sure to examine the condition of all elements.
By bending the boot, you will gain access to the support, oil seal and cardan shaft.

Changing the boot

Now regarding the repairs. There may be several recommendations in this regard, depending on the current state of the node and its components.

At best, repairs will require the use of a repair kit for the backstage. It doesn't cost much.
If the bushing is deformed, it will need to be replaced with a new one.
Check the lever shaft bore for wear.
Make sure there is no play in the driveshaft. Otherwise, a regular repair kit will no longer be enough, that is, a complete replacement of the entire backstage will be required.
Often the culprit of extraneous noise and rattling when shifting gears in gearboxes is the rocker pad. Changing it is quite simple, and even a beginner can perform the operation.
