You will progress as far as you can travel - Kh.Z.
True, on older machines, faults take a long time to develop, so you’ll most likely make it to the base . But perhaps not.

The hydraulic clutch assembly (pipe + master and slave cylinders) costs around 1000 rubles (when I changed it on an old car, I couldn’t unscrew the tube, I had to cut it and replace both cylinders), and it can be changed in a couple of hours.

They are not sold “assembled” - the tube is placed “in place”. The working cylinder is assembled - with a rod and boot. And it happens without them. It’s better to take it with a stock - it’s actually a consumable. You also need a rubber hose and a clip to secure it.

You can drive like this for a year and you will die smoothly. But such driving is terribly infuriating, especially in the city

before it was much lighter and grabbed closer to the floor

bleed the pedal became tight and began to grab at the end

How much longer can you drive like this?

I started to grasp at the end, before it was much easier and grabbed closer to the floor, your verdict, why is this?

After pouring drinking water into a Movil flask, it turned dark after a few minutes of shaking. Question: why did it darken and is it safe to drink now? Is it possible to use a flask of dirty water as a pressure when making a herbarium album?

Let's get to the point: does the hydraulic drive work now or not? If you don’t like the color, change the brake until it clears up (which is unlikely) - but if you’re concerned about aesthetics, you can change the floor of the car

Almost the same problem. In the morning the clutch pedal is half empty. It started up, warmed up a little and that’s it, the clutch works fine. While driving, sometimes dips appear, but immediately disappear.

The symptoms appeared after standing in a traffic jam on an uphill highway. Looks like I set the disk on fire.

Why does the brake pedal fail when braking and what to do?

Is your car suddenly having problems with its brakes? There is no need to panic. There are special techniques that will help you gradually slow down and stop the car even in this case. The most useful tool in this case is the parking brake, or “handbrake”.

It can slow down and stop the car if it was traveling at a speed of 20–40 km/h. But if you have little driving experience, there is no need to suddenly raise the handbrake at medium and high speeds, especially when driving on a wet, icy or snowy road. Your car may skid, spin, be thrown off the road, into the oncoming lane, etc.

The clutch pedal falls all the way when pumping on a VAZ

How to bleed the clutch is described below or provided in this article; if the clutch does not bleed or does not engage, then the problem may be in the clutch master cylinder (MCC), in the clutch slave cylinder.

If anything, then repair - replacement of hoses, replacement of cuffs

The pedal falls, but the clutch does not release, then this means there is air in the hydraulic system. Or the cuffs in the clutch master cylinder have worn out and are leaking brake fluid.

Previously, when there was a shortage of spare parts. parts, bought cuffs, removed and sorted out the main clutch and clutch slave cylinder. But this did not always help, because the cylinder mirror also wears out, and the seal could not be obtained even with new cuffs. Time was wasted on rearranging the cuffs in vain and we had to look in stores for a new clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder.

With the clutch slave cylinder it is easier, or rather faster, it was clear if it does not work, the cuffs are leaking, then it is wet, the fluid decreases in the reservoir. If you still go through it and install new cuffs, then after filling the brake fluid you will also see whether the new cuffs are holding or not (meaning, if they don’t hold, then there will be leaks from the cylinder, it will get wet again and not work).

But with the master cylinder it may be different. Let’s say the working cylinder is working properly, that means there is “trouble” in the main circulation system. If the cuff that is closer to the passenger compartment is worn out and the brake fluid leaves the reservoir, then dampness will appear in the passenger compartment, where the rod enters the clutch from the pedal, through the engine shield. If the interior is dry, in the sense that fluid does not come out near the rod, and there is no decrease in the reservoir, and there is no pedal pressure, the clutch does not disengage, then the second cuff is worn out, it bypasses the brake fluid, the fluid is driven through the cylinder itself and is not pressed into the system. You can, of course, buy cuffs and sort out the main fluid circulation system, it may help, but maybe not if there is a large hole in the walls of the cylinder (sometimes an oval hole is packed). Now they make it simpler, buy a new cylinder and install it.

A small hint (but important): in order not to have to suffer for a long time with pumping the clutch, before installing the clutch, you need to pump it by hand, that is, pour the brake fluid into the reservoir and pump the piston several times with the piston pusher. As soon as the liquid flows out of the outlet, plug it and install the GCS in place. Then, when the cylinder is in place, remove the plug and connect the tube. A little brake fluid will leak out, but it’s not a big deal, you’ll need to add more to the reservoir, the main thing is that it doesn’t completely leak out of the reservoir, because if additional air gets through the reservoir, then again you’ll have to pump the air for a long time and persistently with the pedal.

And if the clutch is pumped and there is already brake fluid in it, then after installing it in place, the clutch starts working almost immediately; there is little need to pump. This is if the worker is in good working order and there is liquid in it.

If you only checked the working cylinder, then you don’t have to push it with the pedal for a long time either, just open the bleeder fitting and wait a few minutes. Monitor the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir and top it up on time.

Well, actually, if you don’t miss the start of fluid flowing out of the working cylinder, then a little of it will flow out. Close the fitting. Test the clutch pedal. If everything is done carefully, then sometimes there is no need to bleed, the clutch works immediately, there is a release. Even if the squeeze is not full, in the sense that there is some air in the system, then bleeding does not take much time, it will quickly pump and the pedal will work as it should and the clutch will disengage.

Yes, if you installed a new clutch, then adjustment is needed on the clutch slave cylinder rod.

This evening I was driving on the roundabout, got into a jam, and twitched and struggled for about half an hour.
At a traffic light I press the clutch, and the pedal just falls through. No returns, nothing. I raised my hand up, and it jammed tightly. I took it off at speed. I took it to the garage with a tow truck and will take a look at it this weekend. I decided to create a topic, maybe someone has had this?

The clutch pedal of the VAZ 2106 fails

Inveterate Zhigulist

Group: Zhigulists Messages: 715 Registration: 7/31/2008 From: Tomsk User No.: 4176 Car: Hyundai Accent Color: Blue Year of Issue: 2008 Thanks said: 4 times

Good day !

Something went wrong today. I was driving as usual, drove about 20 km from the start of the journey, and then before a turn I squeezed the clutch and the car almost stalled. The free play of the clutch pedal has increased by almost half of the entire travel. Somehow I got to work. When idling, you simply depress the clutch and the revolutions drop sharply from 2 thousand to 900. When you release, they return to place. I looked at the brake fluid and there are no drips, the level is normal. The working cylinder rod and fork move normally. I thought maybe it was bent or broken. I went to the service center for diagnostics. The serviceman looked and said that everything was ok with my clutch (like a fork, release and both cylinders). But I wasn’t there and I don’t know what he was watching. But I didn’t remove the box for sure. 1) Is it possible to determine whether the release valve is intact or not without removing the gearbox? I changed the fork boot, of course nothing changed.

How to get to the nearest service station or home if the clutch pedal has failed?

The task, although not easy, is still quite realistic. The main thing here is to get going and not take your foot off the gas, maintaining the speed in first gear.

You need to proceed as follows

We warm up the engine, turn on the emergency lights, then turn on first gear, and turn the key in the ignition. When the engine starts to “catch”, give the gas and start moving. With the right approach, the car will not stall, and you will be able to move away and slowly get to your destination. Don't try to change gear without a clutch - it is certainly possible, there is a technique, but without the proper skill you will most likely stall or damage your transmission.

Now you know why the clutch pedal does not return, for what reasons this happens and how to solve this problem. In addition, if this happens, you will know how to get home if the VAZ clutch pedal fails. That's all for me, write in the comments how you solved this problem and what signs of malfunction you had and the cause of the breakdown. Thank you all for your attention and see you again at VAZ Repair. Bye.

Diagnosis of clutch problems of a VAZ 2106 car without contacting a service station

The clutch, as a separate hydromechanical unit in a vehicle, is responsible for the interaction of the power plant and transmission. The clutch of the VAZ 2106 and the entire range of VAZ models with rear-wheel drive are no exception.

Clutch device

The “six” is equipped with a dry clutch with 1 disc, operating in a permanent closed mode. It is equipped with a spring pressure element located in the center and a vibration damping device located on the driven clutch disc. The mechanical section of the unit is a non-separable part, which includes a protective housing, a push-action clutch disc and a diaphragm-type spring. The protection housing is attached to the flywheel with special mounting-type bolts and pins. This disc is mated to the safety housing with 3 pairs of steel plates that connect the clutch disc and the protective housing part.

With the help of locking fasteners, the VAZ 2106 clutch basket (also known as a pressure disk) is articulated with the outer segment of a diaphragm-type spring. The spring itself is directly held on 2 rings of the protective housing part with rivets. The 12-sector standard clutch disc with driven slots is made of steel. Friction linings are connected to the sector elements of the product separately from each other. To attenuate passive torsion pulses, the VAZ 2106 clutch mechanism contains a damper located between the hub and the driven disc.

The hydraulic part of the mechanism consists of the GCC and RCS (clutch master and slave cylinders), as well as a clutch fork, a release bearing, a fluid reservoir and a clutch foot pedal with a spring. The reliability of the clutch mechanism, the price of which is quite high, depends not only on the length traveled during the period of operation, but also on the conditions of its functioning and the degree of load. If the clutch fails in a VAZ 2106, this means that, most likely, you will need to adjust the size of the free movement of the foot drive.

Sometimes it happens that the clutch pedal fails due to a break in the cable of this mechanism. If the VAZ 2106 clutch slips, then an accelerated wear process occurs, the so-called. "ferrado", i.e. friction linings of the disc, clutch basket diaphragm and flywheel interacting with the engine. The lack of free movement of the foot drive also indicates wear of the clutch basket. The dismantling and repair of this important unit can be seen in the film “VAZ 2106 clutch”, video instructions for which are presented in the next viewing frames on our Internet portal.

Clutch faults

There is a list of VAZ 2106 clutch malfunctions, which are presented in the table in this article. If the clutch is lost, you should look for a defect in the unit here:

Clutch faults

How to fix

The table shows the most common clutch malfunctions in practice.

What caused the problem?

So, if the clutch pedal in your vehicle has fallen, then first you need to determine the cause of the breakdown.

There can be many reasons, so your task, as a motorist, is to reliably identify them:

1. The first and one of the most common causes is a broken clutch cable. Usually the cable breaks near the tip, on the engine compartment side. It is quite possible to solve such a malfunction on your own and right on the spot, but for this you will need the cable itself. You will learn more about the replacement below.
2. Failure of the return spring of the clutch system (hereinafter - CC), which could either burst from wear or simply fly off. If the spring bursts, then there is only one way out - only replacement, so you need to go to the nearest service station either in tow, or as we will describe below. If the spring just flew off, then you can try to find it and put it in place.
3. Often the pedal fails when air gets into the hydraulic drive. Driving such a vehicle will also be impossible until air is removed from the system. By the way, instructions for bleeding the system are available on our website, you can find them here.
4. Failure of the CC fork can also cause the clutch pedal to drop. It is unlikely that you will be able to solve the problem on the spot, unless you are a car repairman. There is only one way out - replacing the element.
5. Incorrect operation of the master cylinder CC, in particular, defects in the mirror, wear or failure of the cuff. In this case, the clutch pedal has failed, but periodically it can be returned to its place by pressing sharply. For normal driving of the car, it is necessary to replace the main cylinder of the system itself.
6. Driven disk failure. As a result of this, if the clutch pedal fails, it will be very soft, you will feel it. Failure of the driven disk may be due to the appearance of defects, mechanical damage or deformation of the element. In addition, the cause may be a fluid leak from the hydraulic system or a pipeline breakdown. In this case, the driven disk could fail as a result of the breakdown of the main and working cylinders, or one of them.

The clutch on a VAZ 2106 is lost. The clutch pedal on a VAZ 2106 has failed

Help me please. The clutch pedal on a VAZ 2106 fell through, I looked into the fluid reservoir. It's empty. Can I just add liquid or what should I do? Is this fluid reservoir also used for the brakes? Maybe I braked and the fluid flew out somewhere through a pipe and because of this the clutch was lost? The clutch on the VAZ 2106 was lost.

First of all, you need to find the leak, fix it, then add fluid, bleed the clutch, and you’re good to go.

If my memory serves me right, there should be a separate tank there

Did you even understand what you wrote?

How can you drive like this and not look under the hood before leaving? You need to know basic things. And if there is no liquid in the reservoir, then what did you use to brake it? Handbrake? Or, before the trip, I decided to look under the hood, and oh my God, what do I see: there is no fluid in the brake reservoir.

Dmitry, what should I look there? Everything worked great, the liquid just flew out

Pavel, yes, exactly, there are 2 tanks there

Pull back the carpet under the steering column and check for signs of leakage from the master cylinder. Then dive down

Svyatoslav, where to go down? What should you watch?

As far as I remember, there are two barrels on the classic...

Dmitry, yes, that’s right, 2 tanks, I’ve already figured it out. What should I do with the clutch, where did the fluid go, what should I do now?

Pour the fluid into the reservoir, park the car in a clean place and press the clutch pedal... and you will see where it leaks...

Dmitry, Got it, thank you

Dmitry, do you put regular brake fluid in there?

Vyacheslav, working cylinder, oil seal leak

On the box, look at the clutch slave cylinder in the classic, this disease is starting to leak

Vyacheslav, it's too slow

Vyacheslav, of course I don’t know, I have a ten, but preferably the same one should be poured in...

Off-topic question, sorry, it's already frozen... the horn is constantly screaming, if you remove the relay, will it stop?

What is the clutch mechanism?

The VAZ 2106 and 2107 have a dry type of clutch with one disc, which operates as a closed mode. The spring mechanism is located in the center, the vibration damping device is located on the driven disk. This unit is a non-separable mechanism with a protected housing, inside of which there is a push-type clutch disc and a diaphragm spring.

The protective housing is attached to the flywheel using special bolts and dowel pins. The clutch disc is connected to the protective part of the housing through three pairs of steel plates. The clutch basket of VAZ 2106 and 2107 is connected to the outer part of the diaphragm spring by means of locking fasteners. The spring is held on two rings attached with rivets to the protection body. The clutch disc is made of steel and has 12 sectors with driven slots.

Diagnosis of clutch faults VAZ 2106 Zhiguli

Hydraulic clutch drive

More complex and similar in design to the brake system drive. Its valves also use low-compression brake fluid. The main elements of the hydraulic drive repeat the design of the brake system:

• pedal;
• master cylinder;
• working cylinder;
• container for liquid;
• connecting line;
• fittings for bleeding the system.

Structurally, hydraulic cylinders consist of pistons and pushers, which are located in the housing. The piston in the working cylinder moves, displacing the working incompressible fluid, which transmits pressure through the line into the working cylinder. The working piston and pusher move the clutch release fork, thereby separating the engine and gearbox. This type of clutch is installed on VAZ 2101, 2105-2107, VAZ 2106, Moskvich 412, GAZ 2410 Volga, Mercedes and many others. Now that we know in general terms the structure of the two main clutch drives, we can talk about the characteristic features and breakdowns. There are several other types of drives - pneumatic, hydroelectric, but they are used mainly on robotic gearboxes, and pneumatic can be used on trucks and buses; such systems are not used on passenger cars.

How to fix a stuck clutch on a VAZ 2106

guys, here’s the problem: the car has been in the garage for 8 years, it started driving under its own power, but the clutch got stuck over time and now I can’t push it (start it either) if I pull it with a truck, will the clutch come loose? and what can break from the jerking? (VAZ car 2108)

Life is full of surprises. And especially for motorists. Not only do you need to be constantly attentive on the road, but you also need to be able to notice and fix problems in your car in a timely manner. Especially when there are no populated areas nearby and the nearest service station is far away, or when you are stuck in a traffic jam and the clutch pedal is stuck or the brakes have disappeared.

This problem is a constant topic of discussion on many forums for car owners of almost all brands. Of course, a clutch can fail for many reasons. Let's look at the most common cases of problems with the clutch pedal of the VAZ 2106 and VAZ 2107.

Possible reasons for clutch pedal failure

The clutch pedal is depressed when depressed and does not return

This problem can be easily solved in stationary conditions either at a service station or with your own hands in the garage. To replace or repair the main clutch or control valve in the garage, you must have repair kits for the clutch slave and master cylinders.

Reasons for failure and non-return of the clutch pedal of VAZ2106 and VAZ2107:

• a break in the clutch cable where the tip touched. This problem is not easy to fix on your own. You can, of course, carry a spare cable with you just in case, but cases are different and it is not realistic to provide for everything;
• the spring that performs the function of returning the pedal to its original position may burst or fly off. If the spring has flown off, then it is enough to put it back in place, and if it has burst, then, as in the case of a cable break, you must either tow the car or try to get to the garage or service station under your own power.

How to drive a VAZ2106 or VAZ2107 without a clutch? We'll talk about this below:

What to do if the gear shift mechanism does not work?

If the clutch pedal fails on a road with heavy traffic, you should not be nervous, but act calmly with a “cool head” and get to the nearest parking spot, or even better, to a garage or service station. To do this, you can use a tug, tow truck, or drive yourself.

Clutch fails: causes and repairs

The manual transmission is simple, reliable and has a long service life. At the same time, the clutch in a manual transmission is considered a “consumable material” with a rather limited service life. In addition, if the car is actively loaded, errors are made when servicing the clutch, and the car is operated in difficult conditions, some clutch components may fail after 60-80 thousand kilometers. km on a new car.

As a rule, quite often owners of cars with manual transmission encounter a breakdown when the clutch pedal fails. The reasons for such a breakdown may be different, since a manual transmission is an assembly consisting of a large number of parts and mechanisms. Next, we will look at why the clutch pedal failed, as well as what needs to be done if the clutch fails.

The clutch has fallen: why does the clutch pedal fail?

Firstly, such a breakdown in the absence of clutch can occur completely unexpectedly. To accurately determine the malfunction, it is important to know why the clutch fails and what needs to be done in such a situation.

In short, the clutch is needed to "disconnect" the engine from the transmission so that gears can be engaged and disengaged and the car can idle.

The driver independently controls the clutch using the pedal. When the pedal is depressed, force is transmitted to the clutch basket through a series of mechanisms. This allows the clutch disc to retract and interrupt the transmission of torque from the engine to the transmission.

Firstly, a sticking clutch pedal usually occurs for the following reasons:

• The return spring has failed. The clutch return spring provides the resistance that forces the pedal to retract after the driver stops applying pressure to it. If you simply remove your foot from the clutch, the pedal itself should return to its original position. If the spring is broken, twisted, or severely worn, the clutch pedal may not return or may drop. To solve this problem, it is necessary to disassemble the return mechanism and replace the spring; Another problem on the list is clutch fork damage. As a rule, these forks need to be replaced, as they actively wear out and then become damaged during use; The clutch cable is damaged (the clutch cable is broken/broken), the clutch cable fastening is damaged. In this case, the clutch cable must be replaced; Air in the hydraulic clutch. In some cases, you can fix the problem yourself, although this is not always possible. You will actually have to bleed the clutch. The most important thing is to have the correct keys and a supply of brake fluid. The master cylinder (MCC) is damaged. This element can be damaged for many reasons (damage to the actuator mirror, crack or damage to the clutch master cylinder flange, etc.). In some cases, repairing the master cylinder by replacing the seals with new ones from the master cylinder repair kit helps. . If the master cylinder mirror is damaged, it is better to replace the entire part immediately.
• The return spring is broken. A suitable clutch return spring creates resistance that pushes the pedal back after the driver has stopped pressing. If you simply remove your foot from the clutch, the pedal itself should return to its original position. If the spring is broken, twisted, or severely worn, the clutch pedal may not return or may drop. To solve the problem, it is necessary to disassemble the return mechanism and replace the spring;
• Another problem on the list is clutch fork damage. As a rule, this fork needs to be changed, since it actively wears out and then becomes damaged during operation;
• Broken clutch cable (broken/broken clutch cable), the fastening of the end of the clutch cable is damaged. In this case, the clutch cable must be replaced; Air is trapped in the hydraulic clutch actuator. In some cases, you can fix the problem yourself, although this is not always possible. You will actually have to bleed the clutch. The most important thing is to have the correct keys and a supply of brake fluid.
• The master cylinder (MCC) is damaged. This element can be damaged for many reasons (damage to the actuator mirror, crack or damage to the clutch master cylinder flange, etc.). In some cases, repairing the master cylinder by replacing the seals with new ones from the master cylinder repair kit helps. . If the master cylinder mirror is damaged, it is better to replace the entire part immediately.
• The return spring is broken. A suitable clutch return spring creates resistance that pushes the pedal back after the driver has stopped pressing. If you simply remove your foot from the clutch, the pedal itself should return to its original position. If the spring is broken, twisted, or severely worn, the clutch pedal may not return or may drop. To fix the problem, it is necessary to disassemble the return mechanism and replace the spring;
• Another problem on the list is clutch fork damage. As a rule, this fork needs to be changed, since it actively wears out and then becomes damaged during operation;
• Broken clutch cable (broken/broken clutch cable) or broken clutch cable end fastening. In this case, the clutch cable must be replaced; Air in the hydraulic clutch. In some cases, you can fix the problem yourself, although this is not always possible. You will actually have to bleed the clutch. The most important thing is to have the correct keys and a supply of brake fluid.
• The master cylinder (MCC) is damaged. This element can be damaged for many reasons (damage to the actuator mirror, crack or damage to the clutch master cylinder flange, etc.). In some cases, repairing the master cylinder by replacing the seals with new ones from the master cylinder repair kit helps. . If the master cylinder mirror is damaged, it is better to replace the entire part immediately.

Please note that if clutch engagement is delayed due to problems with the master cylinder, clutch pedal function can be partially restored by pressing firmly on the pedal. This method is suitable as a temporary solution to get to the repair site.

However, long-term driving in this condition is not recommended, as other damage may occur. For this reason, the owner of a car with a manual transmission must know how to drive without a clutch, how to engage a gear (speed) without a clutch, etc. Such skills allow you to combine available methods, which allows you to minimize the risk of additional malfunctions when driving with a faulty clutch.

Driving without a clutch: what you need to know

Due to the fact that most clutch or clutch pedal related faults (such as clutch pedal failure) may surprise the driver, and it is often impossible to repair the fault on site, the only option is to take it to a service center yourself.

We would like to reiterate that the following methods should only be used if absolutely necessary, as the risk of transmission damage or accident increases significantly.

• Therefore, you must first turn off the car engine. If you lose traction on a slope, push the car on a flat road. Then it is recommended to think over the route in advance, if possible, cross the route with a minimum of traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, not loaded with traffic, so that you do not have to stop often, etc.;
• Then, with the engine locked, first gear must be engaged, and the “kill switch” must also be engaged, after which the engine can start (note that the car will jerk forward immediately after turning the ignition key to the “start” position); Once the engine has caught, lightly and carefully press the gas pedal to keep the engine from stalling. If the first attempt to start is unsuccessful, stop the car, wait about 5 minutes for the starter to cool, then try starting it in first gear and start driving again.
• After a successful starting attempt, you can drive in first gear at low speed and do not exceed average engine speed until the point where you repair yourself. When driving in first gear, you should take into account the high fuel consumption (it is recommended to take care of the correct amount of fuel in the tank in advance);

Let us add that beginners in such a situation should be prepared for the engine to stall when coming to a complete stop or to greatly reduce the speed without turning off first gear. This means that in this case you will have to engage first gear again.

Experienced drivers are often proficient in clutchless driving techniques, i.e. they know how to shift gears without a clutch, such as "up" and "down", start immediately in second gear, shift from first gear to neutral without a clutch, etc. . .

This is possible if the driver feels that it is possible to engage the gear without a clutch with minimal effort, without much risk of damaging the gearbox and gearbox parts, taking into account the engine speed and rpm. However, if we try to do this without experience and skill, there is a high risk of damaging the gearbox, significantly reducing the life of the device or completely eliminating the gearbox and other gearbox components from service.

Let's sum it up

Obviously, problems with the clutch in the gearbox can, in some cases, completely immobilize the car. If the problem is with the clutch pedal, i.e. the driver loses the ability to control the clutch, then repairs are also necessary, but if you have certain skills and abilities, you can go to a repair shop or other place to repair the car. on one's own.

We also recommend reading the article on how to adjust the clutch pedal. This article explains when to adjust the clutch pedal and how to adjust the clutch if necessary. Finally, it is worth adding that during each scheduled technical inspection, it is optimal to check the quality of operation of all important components of the car. The clutch is no exception either. It is necessary to check the condition of the clutch cable and change the brake fluid in a timely manner to extend the life of the clutch master cylinder.

It is also necessary to adjust the clutch pedal, pump up the clutch and take into account even the smallest malfunctions in the operation of this unit when operating the vehicle.
