Backstage for VAZ 2109 - design, diagram and repair of the backstage

The VAZ-2109 rocker is a simple mechanism used to change gears. The driver, applying force in one direction or another, acts through the rocker on the gearbox. This switches on the required speed. Very rarely, the mechanism breaks down and requires partial or complete replacement. Most often the cardan shaft fails. Changing it won't be difficult. But if the rocker itself is broken, you can think about a little tuning - make a short-stroke one. This will require less effort to engage the desired gear.

Installation of a short-stroke rocker on a VAZ 2109

The linkage is an important component of the VAZ 2109 gearbox. If it fails or does not work satisfactorily, the linkage can be easily replaced or repaired.


Appearance of the device

There are two types of scenes:

There is no fundamental difference between the two types of units. The advantage of a short-throw is that it provides faster gear changes for a fraction of a second.

Do not believe those who claim that a short walk has a positive effect on dynamics. There is no connection between the rocker and the dynamics of the car. But the short walk has its advantages.

conclusions

You can talk endlessly about how to change joints correctly, what lubricant to use, which manufacturer you should trust. In fact, the most suitable components are those whose manufacturers supply them to the AvtoVAZ plant. When replacing the external CV joint of a VAZ-2109, preference should be given to the manufacturer who supplies them to the plant. As practice shows, the service life of these elements turns out to be higher than that of foreign analogues. No matter how much they scold our auto industry, the reliability of domestic units is an order of magnitude higher than the vaunted German or Italian ones.

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.

  1. The backlash of the gearbox selector has increased significantly.
  2. Gears change with difficulty, and when changing speed, extraneous sounds appear.
  3. It is possible to change gears, but with a lot of effort.
  4. Speeds change incorrectly. Instead of one, a completely different one turns on.
  5. 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.

  1. First, buy a new shift rod seal. It costs about 70-100 rubles.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. We climb under the car and disconnect the fasteners of the gearbox lever driveshaft.
  5. Pull the boot off the cardan, unscrew the bolts securing it to the gearshift rod. Problematic fasteners that you will have to tinker with.
  6. After removing the cardan shaft, remove the rod boot.
  7. We remove the damaged oil seal using an awl or suitable available tools. The main thing here is the stock itself.
  8. We install a new one in place of the old oil seal and press it with a tube of the appropriate diameter.
  9. Put the boot back in place and rotate the driveshaft.
  10. 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.

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.

The VAZ 2109 has its own disease, the weak point is the backstage joint. Replacing it with an analogue from Kalina will solve the problem and turn a disadvantage into an advantage.


Kardanchik

The instructions for replacing the cardan are as follows.

  1. Using two 13mm spanners, unscrew the clamp that relates to the speed switch drive rod.
  2. 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.
  3. Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the fixing bolt on the cardan.
  4. 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.
  5. We replace the old cardan with a part from Kalina. It is more reliable, efficient and durable.
  6. For reassembly you will need the help of a friend. Do not rush to tighten the clamp immediately at the end.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

  1. Engage reverse gear, loosen the clamp tension.
  2. Set the gearbox selector to the position in which it should ideally be located when engaging reverse.
  3. Tighten the clamp back.
  4. 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

Short walker

Many people are still wondering whether it is worth changing their standard factory long-stroke linkage to a short-stroke one.


Short walker

Make your decision purely on the basis of individual reflections and do not “be fooled” by statements regarding a significant increase in dynamics with the transition to a short-stroke.

The real difference between short-stroke and long-stroke is shown in the table.

Replacing the backstage of Lada 2109 (VAZ 2109)

In most cases, the main reason for removing the gear shift lever on a VAZ 2109 car is its mechanical damage, as a result of which it is impossible to adjust the quality of gear switching, or the lever has become completely unusable and needs to be replaced. If the base and the lever itself are in good condition, then there is no need to change them; it is enough to just replace the broken bushings or plastic support. It may also be necessary to replace the gear shift rod located under the car.

To remove the gear shift knob, do the following:

  • Remove the decorative leather cover from the lever.
  • Next, remove the decorative plastic tunnel. To do this, remove the hatch and unscrew the fastening screws and remove it from the car interior.
  • Now you can remove the lever by first unscrewing the nut and removing the bolt from the axle. Then unscrew the five bolts securing the base to the car body.
  • Having unscrewed the bolts, carefully turn it over and remove it by removing the rubber cover from the base.

Actually, now that the lever has been removed, you can begin to replace the failed elements.

  • First of all, we disassemble and remove the axle. To do this, remove the two plastic bushings on both sides. The axle must be replaced if it dangles in its socket, that is, in the bushing, which is installed in the lever itself. Replace faulty elements and lubricate them with grease before assembly.
  • Next, remove the plastic lever support. To remove it, simply pull it towards you. Lubricate the new one with grease and install it back.
  • Replace the leather cover if necessary.

Next, if you need to replace the gear shift rod, to do this we climb under the car and unscrew the nut of the clamp mounting bolt. Then, inside the car, disconnect it from the shift lever. Pull the rod into the cabin. At this point, the repair work on removing and replacing the VAZ 2109 gear shift lever has been completed. Reassemble in reverse order.

Adjustment of the gear shift rod on the VAZ 2109 and other models is carried out either after removing the gearbox, or when the speeds become difficult to engage or, on the contrary, take off. Due to a poorly adjusted drive rod, the shift lever inside the car begins to dangle, which causes inconvenience to the driver. To correct this defect, we prepare a standard set of tools, drive the car onto an inspection hole or overpass and begin work, the procedure for which is as follows:

  • We climb under the car and loosen the tightening bolt of the clamp connecting the rod to the shift rod on the gearbox.
  • Having loosened the bolt, use a flat screwdriver to slightly expand the clamp so that the rod moves freely along the rod, thereby providing us with the ability to adjust its length.
  • Next, inside the car, remove the decorative leather cover from the gear knob and install it so that its curved part is approximately vertical.
  • We climb under the car again and make adjustments. Namely, we need to carefully move the speed control rod a little back and to the side in order to get rid of the free play, that is, from the backlash. We do this action carefully so as not to disturb the shift handle in the cabin.
  • Now that the backlash has been removed, tighten the clamp nut, while the clamp itself must be positioned at a distance of about 1-3mm from the end of the rod.

We check the quality of the adjustment by turning the speeds on and off. Also check the quality on a working engine, namely while driving. If necessary, repeat the operation. At this point, the repair work on adjusting the gear shift rod of the VAZ 2109 is completed.

If you are the owner of a front-wheel drive VAZ car (2108, 2109, 21099, 2110), then you probably paid attention to the increased free play of the gear lever, which feels like a loose gearshift handle and leads to unclear engagement when selecting gears. We can say that this is a disease of these models, which lies in the standard gearbox of the gearshift lever. You can eliminate this drawback and modify the gear shift mechanism in the simplest way by replacing the standard gearbox driveshaft with a similar part from the Lada Kalina. By the way, you can do this modification yourself.

For this modification, we need the gearbox driveshaft itself from the VAZ 1118 Kalina; we purchase it complete with a boot, because The standard boot of the VAZ 2109 will not fit in size.

We will also need keys for 10 and 13, a hammer, a slotted screwdriver and an assistant, who will be useful at the final stage of work when adjusting the position of the gearshift lever.

Fixing the problem

Let's look at several ways to help fix the problem with engaging reverse gear.

Backstage adjustment

Before you begin solving the problem, take with you everything you might need:

  • new gearbox driveshaft;
  • speed selector shaft oil seal;
  • two ring wrenches 13;
  • wrench 10;
  • hammer;
  • screwdriver.

To fully replace the cardan, you will need to drive into a pit or overpass. In addition, you will need an assistant who will shift the gearbox lever while you adjust it.

Let's start replacing the cardan and adjusting the rocker:

You need to crawl under the bottom of the 2109 and find your gearbox. Take two 13mm wrenches and loosen the clamp located on the transmission drive rod. After this, you can remove the drive from the gearbox mechanism rod. Then take a screwdriver and, with a little force, pull the boot closer to the unit. If you accidentally damage the boot, you can simply dismantle it so that it does not bother you

Now take a 10mm wrench and unscrew the locking screw on the cardan. Next, take a hammer and very carefully knock the gearbox driveshaft off the shaft. Do this carefully so as not to damage the shaft

Remove the cardan boot if you did not remove it initially. If necessary, replace the speed selector shaft oil seal. At this point we can consider that half the work has already been done. Now you need to install the driveshaft of the box. We install the element in the reverse order. First, install the new boot in place, and then place the cardan on the shaft. Remember that the position of the retaining screw must coincide with the recess on the shaft. When the universal joint is in place, tighten the fixing screw and install the boot on the universal joint. You also need to put the gear shift drive rod on the cardan rod, but there is no need to tighten the clamp. Next, you will need the help of another person, since you need to adjust the gearshift lever. Ask your assistant to sit in the driver’s seat: he should set the gearshift lever to “neutral” and move it slightly to the right. In this position, an assistant should hold the lever while you tighten the cardan clamp.

When the cardan adjustment is completed, you need to check how the speeds on the lever are switched on. If the problem that caused the reverse gear to not engage in your VAZ 2109 was in the cardan, which is most likely, then after replacing the element the fault should disappear.

Changing gearbox oil

Also, one of the common reasons why reverse gear in a VAZ 2109 does not engage is poor gear oil. As stated above, the liquid has already lost its properties and its further use does not make sense. But how do you understand that the transmission fluid has already exhausted its service life? This issue should be taken seriously, because the fluid replacement procedure is not that cheap. Therefore, you need to know for sure that the gear oil has lost its properties.

  • Pull the dipstick out of the gearbox hole to measure the level and drop a drop of liquid onto a white cloth. If at least one of the following conditions occurs, change the oil immediately.
  • The lubricating fluid is discolored and may have a slightly black tint. Also, even in a small drop of oil you can see metal particles or other dust.
  • The transmission fluid is opaque and appears very viscous. If you try it by touch, the substance will stick to your hands. In addition, if you drop this oil onto a piece of cloth or napkin, it will be absorbed very slowly compared to new oil.
  • Very cloudy or foamy liquid. This may mean that transmission oil has entered the engine. If so, then the problem with engaging reverse gear is the first thing you will notice. If the car continues to operate on poor transmission fluid, then it may be necessary to completely repair the gearbox and the entire transmission system.

Backstage VAZ-2109: adjustment, repair and replacement

The VAZ-2109 rocker is a simple mechanism used to change gears. The driver, applying force in one direction or another, acts through the rocker on the gearbox. This switches on the required speed. Very rarely, the mechanism breaks down and requires partial or complete replacement. Most often the cardan shaft fails. Changing it won't be difficult. But if the rocker itself is broken, you can think about a little tuning - make a short-stroke one. This will require less effort to engage the desired gear.

Why doesn't adjustment help?

It happens that, despite the adjustments, the rocker still rattles.

This problem can be solved by installing a special spring on the rocker. It will hold the lever, eliminating rattling.

  • Gear changes become shorter, speeds change as if using a joystick;
  • Installed together with a short cardan, which helps reduce backlash and improve shift clarity;
  • It is not factory installed on the vehicle. Required to be purchased separately or made by hand;
  • The cost is quite high; Changing gears requires more physical effort;
  • Originally developed for sports cars
  • To change the gearbox speed, you have to move the lever a long distance;
  • Installed in conjunction with a regular cardan. They are the weak point of the car, a real disease;
  • Provided by the manufacturer;
  • There is virtually no effort required to change gears;
  • Created specifically for front-wheel drive VAZ cars

Types of mechanisms

Despite the different design models, only two types can be distinguished:

  1. Long-stroke (standard, previously installed on cars of model 2109 and similar).
  2. Short-wheel drive (installed on Kalina cars).

Structurally they are very similar, only different in size. The advantage of short-throw ones is that with their help, gears are engaged easier and faster.

True, many myths have formed around the gear shift: some claim that the dynamic characteristics of the car are significantly improved. This is all wrong; there is no connection between the dynamics of the car and the view of the backstage. But still, the short-stroke one has advantages over the standard one.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's start with the pros, let's figure out why the short-throw rocker on the VAZ 2109 is good:

  • The advantages of such a rocker compared to a standard rocker (this, at least, applies to the VAZ 09 and 10 families) is that, solely due to its size, it can significantly reduce the stroke of the lever when shifting gears on and off
  • In addition, shifts become even clearer

However, there are disadvantages in any tuning, and this thing also has them:

  • High price
  • Increases effort to shift gears

Why change the backstage?

There are situations when it is necessary to intervene in the gear shift mechanism due to the failure of a component. But there are times when an extreme measure is required - replacing the VAZ-2109 rocker. In these cases, replacement is required:

  1. An oil leak appeared due to damage to the oil seal. Only the oil seal can be replaced.
  2. Complete failure of the scenes.
  3. You have realized the advantages of a short-stroke design and you have the funds for this kind of tuning.

Symptoms of gear shift mechanism failure:

  1. Increased gearshift lever play. Please note that this behavior may also be caused by a loose cardan. Sometimes the bolt securing it gets screwed out, so to reduce the backlash it is enough to tighten it, and first apply a drop of thread locker.
  2. Difficult to shift into gear. Sometimes extraneous sounds are heard.
  3. Gear shifting is not possible.
  4. Inconsistency between the position of the lever and the selected speed. For example, the back one disappears, and the first one is in its place.

If a slight play appears, it is advisable to carry out diagnostics and identify the breakdown of the unit. Make repairs immediately, otherwise one or more speeds will disappear at the most inopportune moment.

Operating principle and manufacturing method

The VAZ 2109 short-throw gearbox came from professionals in motor racing; you will agree what kind of sport it is if a lot of time is spent shifting gears. What does such a scene give:

  • Thanks exclusively to it, switching becomes much more pleasant for you, and the lever stroke is significantly reduced by almost half, the result obtained from the installation is simply incredible
  • Therefore, smart people picked up this “theme” and launched it into the “masses”
  • It turns out that today the VAZ 2109 short-stroke rocker is sold in almost every auto parts store
  • Of course, the price is significantly inflated, but this is not an obstacle for most motorists
  • There is nothing surprising here, because the rocker is worth it, I myself, like many car owners, was ready to buy it, I liked the short rocker of the VAZ 21093 gearbox so much.
  • However, as soon as I saw its design and understood the main point of tuning, I changed my mind about paying for it, because it is possible to make one with your own hands in just half an hour of work
  • What I got - see for yourself. Now I’ll tell you in a few words about how the whole mechanism works, also see the photo

The diagram I have given will allow you to understand how the short-throw rocker on the VAZ 2109 works:

  • The "O" - "F" line represents the low and high points of your standard lever set to neutral.
  • In order for you to engage the gear, you will need to move the rod connected to the lever (point “B” is the point of their connection) to point “A”
  • The handle of the gear shift lever will move to point “E”
  • You understand that our task is to reduce the “E”-“F” switching distance that the handle travels
  • And for this we need to increase the length of the lever to point “H”, which will allow us to raise the rod by the same distance (the segment “C”-“D” is equal to the segment “A”-“B”)
  • It turns out that the lever that changes gears will have to travel a shorter distance; in this case, you won’t have to stretch or “search throughout the cabin” for the desired gear and its lever

How to replace the oil seal

If you detect an oil leak from the gearbox, carefully inspect the crankcase.

The leak will reveal itself. Lubricant usually leaks out through the CV joint seals and rocker panels. In the latter case, to replace you will need to perform a number of actions:

  1. Purchase a new VAZ-2109 gearbox seal. Its price is about 100 rubles.
  2. Drain the oil completely from the gearbox by unscrewing the plug from the bottom using the key “17”. If necessary, you can replace the lubricant later. It is recommended to pull out the upper dipstick to facilitate oil drainage.
  3. Disconnect the cardan from the rocker arm.
  4. Remove the boot, use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the bolt securing it to the gearbox rod.
  5. Using an awl or a thin screwdriver, remove the old oil seal. Inspect it for damage.
  6. Install the new oil seal using a pipe or large washer to press in.

After replacement, install the boot. Assess the condition of the cardan: if it has too much play, it will need replacement. After carrying out all the work, be sure to check that the speeds are turned on correctly.

Backstage adjustment

There is nothing complicated in the procedure; you can do it yourself, but you will have to run from the pit to the salon.

Yes, it is advisable to do this work in a pit or overpass. You need to act approximately according to this principle:

  1. Loosen the nut on the clamp.
  2. Set the gearshift lever to the reverse gear position.
  3. Set the box rod to the reverse speed position. This is difficult to achieve, so adjustments will have to be made.
  4. Check how the gears shift. If the rear one is too far to the left, loosen the clamp and turn the cardan counterclockwise. If the fifth speed (including reverse) has gone too far to the right, then the cardan rotates clockwise.

By adjusting the position of the gearshift rocker, you will notice that when the lever is installed in the middle, neutral speed will be engaged. When turning on the fifth gear, the lever should not catch the passenger seat, and when moving in reverse, the driver's seat should not interfere with the movement of the lever.

Comparison of short and long stroke

Car enthusiasts describe the difference in options as fantastic. The renovation dramatically improves ergonomics. The amplitude of movements of the gear shift knob decreases by two to three times, but the force on its tip increases. The increase is quite acceptable, since gear shifting occurs in an unloaded state with the clutch depressed and does not require any serious effort.

Some experts believe that an increase in the shoulder leads to an increase in forces on the gearbox rods and to additional wear on the gearbox. There is no statistical confirmation of this point of view yet. Unfortunately, it is not possible to order a short-stroke configuration from the factory. You must install it yourself at your own risk. AvtoVAZ does not approve of such changes in the design of the Nine.

Independent modernization of the design associated with welding the levers lengthens them, and the height of the gearshift knob above the tunnel increases by about 5 cm. Such alteration requires welding work and the involvement of an experienced specialist, for whom cutting the levers using a grinder, installing a pipe and a strip of the appropriate section , and also welding the levers is not difficult.

The adjustment changes the ergonomics, but due to the reduction in the strokes of the shift knob, it is not perceived as a deterioration.

Short-throw slides for “nine”

Such designs were developed exclusively for sports models, but are widely used in production ones. Advantages of the VAZ-2109 short-stroke rocker over the standard one:

  1. Easier gear shifting.
  2. The backlash of the gearshift lever is reduced, especially when using a cardan from Kalina.
  1. You need to either buy it or make it yourself.
  2. It takes a lot of force to change gears. Despite the smaller stroke, this type of backstage is more suitable for people who are not only strong in spirit.

But you don’t have to buy a VAZ-2109 rocker in stores; you can make a short-shifter from a regular one with little welding skills.

To do this, cut the old rocker in two places and weld pieces of a metal plate to lengthen the arms. The main thing is for the new drawstring to fit into place, so first carefully study the drawing, which shows the locations of the cuts.

Let's get down to business

The short-stroke rocker for the VAZ 2109 requires the following tools for manufacturing:

  • Grinder and cutting wheel for metal or, at worst, a hacksaw for metal
  • A piece of pipe and a piece of flat metal
  • Welding (welding machine)
  • be sure to purchase a lever drive from Lada Kalina
  • The photo shows the places where you will need to make an incision.
  • Everything is quite simple: you will need to remove the rocker from the car
  • Moreover, it is not necessary to remove everything (I admit, I did just that and regretted it a little - it’s a chore, it turns out) it will be enough to disassemble your ball joint (to do this, unclench the locking metal ring so that the plastic fastening tabs separate and the ball is released)
  • Then loosen the clamp near the gearbox and turn off the traction
  • After this, carefully pull the rod through the dirt cover and get out of the car.
  • Now you need a grinder with a cutting wheel for metal, a familiar welder with a welding machine, or someone who has access to one (you have the machine and know how to weld yourself - generally a test)
  • Next, use a grinder to cut the parts according to the marks in the top photo. Then we weld a piece of pipe (with a wall thickness of 2 - 3 millimeters) into the rod and a piece of sheet metal with a thickness of 5 - 6 millimeters
  • These pieces must certainly have the same length, otherwise you will have an unpleasant distortion, which is not at all desirable and the drive will only work worse
  • For myself, I lengthened it by only 2 centimeters
  • However, the space in the cabin allows you to lengthen it by 3 - 5 centimeters
  • At first two centimeters was quite enough for me, but then I got used to them and it seems not enough again
  • By the way, regarding the pieces, welders have nowhere to put them; as a rule, finding a suitable one does not cause any problems
  • The VAZ 2109 short-stroke rocker is installed in the reverse order of removal
  • However, among other things, the hinge with a hook, which serves to prevent erroneous engagement of reverse gear, rises automatically and no longer fits into a special slot on the blocking plate
  • In order to avoid this, either remove this plate completely (this is for the especially lazy) you can ride without it, or you should move it upstairs to the height to which the hinge has risen

When you have installed the rocker on the VAZ 21093 gearbox, all that remains is to replace the drive shaft to eliminate play in the lever

Replacing the VAZ backstage oil seal

I noticed that when driving, the gearbox began to make sounds of rubbing gears. The very first thing that came to mind was to check the oil level in the gearbox. The box I have is old, unmaintained, that is, without a dipstick. But there is an easy way to check the oil level in a maintenance-free VAZ 2108 2109 21099 gearbox - this is to remove the speedometer cable drive gear. Through the hole in this gear (it is also called a speed sensor), you can very clearly see how much oil is in the box. I checked the oil level - indeed, the oil in the gearbox had decreased significantly. I also found the reason quickly - the gear shift seal was leaking.


VAZ backstage oil seal leaked

Well, since it's leaking, it needs to be replaced. I went to the market and bought a gear shift rod seal for VAZ 2108 2109 21099. The price of the seal was $1. Now it needs to be replaced. The procedure for replacing the VAZ gear shift rod oil seal: 1) Drain the oil from the gearbox into a specially prepared container.


Drain the oil from the VAZ box

To make it drain better, first unscrew the filler plug or remove the speedometer gear. After draining the oil, screw the drain plug back into place. 2) Now we climb under the car and disconnect the universal joint mount from the gear shift lever.


Attaching the cardan to the gear shift lever


Disconnected

3) Pull the boot off the cardan and unscrew the bolt that secures it to the gear shift rod. In my case, this bolt really did not want to unscrew, and the place was inconvenient. You can’t get there with the head; the open-end wrench licks off the edges.


Unscrew the cardan

Rescued crimp wrench for brake hoses. 4) After removing the cardan, remove the gearshift rod boot.


Shift rod boot

5) Now you need to get the oil seal of the VAZ 2108 2109 21099. The operating instructions say that this is done with an awl. I didn’t have an awl, but I did have a self-tapping screw, which I screwed into the oil seal and took it out.


We take out the VAZ backstage oil seal

The main thing is to do this carefully, without scratching the stem. 6) Instead of the old one, install a new oil seal on the same side as the old one. Using a tube of suitable diameter, press it to the end.


Installing a new oil seal

7) We install the boot back, screw the cardan. The bolt securing the cardan to the gearshift rod is adjustable. It needs to be screwed in exactly the same way as it was. Otherwise, some gears may not engage. We put the boot on the cardan and connect it to the gear lever of the VAZ 2108 2109 21099. We get into the car and check that all gears engage well. 9) Pour oil into the gearbox. Personally, I do this through the hole for the speedometer gear using a hose and funnel.
