How to change the clutch cable on a Lada Priore: photos and videos

As practice shows, replacing the cable connecting the clutch drive with the gearbox on a Lada Priora is very rarely required. It breaks quite infrequently. The most common problem with it is the threads; its components become frayed. For this reason, the clutch mechanism begins to jam regularly and the pedal eventually does not want to return to its place.

The replacement procedure is not particularly complicated, but it does require time and some effort. For work you will need the following tools and materials:

a set of keys;
flat screwdriver;
cable clamp.

You can get to it in Priora only through the engine compartment. To do this, of course, you will need to open the hood. The cable itself is located next to the gearbox.

In what cases does an element need to be replaced:

when broken;
due to jamming;
due to stretching;
in case of failure of the mechanism regulating its length.

Advice from auto mechanics on purchasing parts

Automotive technicians and automakers insist on installing a new clutch cable. Old products are usually stretched and last for a very short time. Therefore, their purchase is impractical.

the original cable for the Priora . The price of spare parts is low. Therefore, it is not worth saving. If you can’t find an original part, then you should pay attention to products from the following manufacturers: ANDYCAR , Riginal , TROSAVTO . These companies make high quality cables and provide a guarantee.

Many motorists today order car parts from online stores. It's convenient, simple and saves time. But you can become a victim of scammers. Many scammers operate under the name of stores, demanding full advance payment from customers and not sending anything after receiving the money. Therefore, you need to make purchases from trusted and reliable online companies.

Clutch cable from 2110 to Priora (failure)

Hi all. Since purchasing the car, I have been bothered by clicks and jerks when pressing the clutch pedal. At first I tried to lubricate it, but as everyone knows, there is no way to get there. I read here that they install a cable from 2110 TC without unnecessary mechanisms that make these sounds.

I went and bought it. I didn’t waste time trying to remove all this from the interior and immediately began to disassemble the frill, and for good reason... Firstly, under the frill there was a lot of dirt, leaves, etc., even cobwebs, no one had ever climbed there.

Installed the cable, no problems. They appeared after repeated attempts to adjust the clutch. I didn't notice that the new cable is a little longer. The pedal was adjusted as it should, in line with the brake pedal and when pressed there was an adequate response, although the pedal was a little loose. The only thing that was confusing was that the clutch fork had free movement and was not tense, so to speak. Having started the engine, all gears were engaged without crunching, but after trying to drive, the release gear whistled. You put your foot on the pedal, the fork tightens and stops whistling. I probably spent about 2 hours fiddling with this and still couldn’t do anything with it. I thought they were all the same length, but in the end they are not.

Removing clutch pedal clicks

How to adjust the clutch? If the clicking becomes constant, then you can get rid of this problem in a simple way, showing a little ingenuity, and you need to use an ordinary ruler. As a rule, clicking sounds come from the clutch control unit. You need to do the following: open the hood of the car and inspect the area to the left of the battery. This is where the clutch cable goes into the fork. To inspect it you will need to pull it out of the plug.

Using a ruler, measure the distance from the base of the cable to the adjusting screw. The distance must be exactly 27 mm. The main factor in adjusting the Priora clutch is accuracy. It should be noted that this indicator should in no way increase or, conversely, decrease with a deviation of even one millimeter.

Otherwise, the pedal will continue its annoying clicking. Now you need to put the cable back. After adjusting the distance, you need to depress the clutch pedal several times. Having eliminated this problem, the softer operation of the clutch release pedal will immediately become noticeable, compared to how it worked before the adjustment.

What is this part and signs of wear?

The clutch cable is a mechanism that provides traction between the vehicle and the road surface. This element is present in cars with manual and automatic gearboxes. This part is made from friction material . Over time, the cable wears out, stretches and breaks.

Signs that it’s time to change the cable on a Priora car:

If the clutch cable is disconnected, then simply put it back in place. If it is worn out, then it is replaced with a new one. This part cannot be repaired.

Finding the reason

One of the owners of a Lada Kalina (VAZ 11194) decided to check where there was such noise from the transmission in the cabin. With the help of spot wiretapping, he was able to find out that some of the vibrations from the gearbox are transmitted to the cabin through the clutch cable. This was confirmed by a simple experiment:

raised the front wheels
turned on first speed
raised the speed to 4500-5000 rpm
Reduced the speed to 1500 rpm using the brake pedal without releasing the gas pedal

Then, the same thing was done with the clutch cable disconnected from the gearbox fork. The familiar "hrrrrr..." sound disappeared. The sounds were recorded in an mp3 file (before the pause - with a cable, after - without it). Site users can download the file:

Conclusion : the clutch cable is a transmitter of vibrations from the gearbox fork.

A similar situation may occur on Lada Grant and Priora cars.

Adjusting the clutch cable SHOCKED BY THE EFFECT

I’ll write a short story about how my pepelats started to drive and spin up better.
I had a clicking sound in the clutch pedal when pressing. On the Internet they advised to adjust the cable to the factory setting of 27mm when pulling the cable out from under the hitch fork. A few words about my car: when driving other Priors, I noticed that my car was not spinning up very quickly and at the bottom the car was very slow, but in general it was driving fine. I thought the mileage was affecting the catalyst, the firmware of the spark plug, coil, etc. was clogged. but because The problem is not particularly global, the car drives, in principle I think this happens.

I went to adjust the clutch and the first problem was that my cable was too tight. I can't get it out of the fork. Those. the clutch fork and the cable were constantly in a tense position and there was no talk of any gap at 27. Somehow I pulled the cable off the fork and set the gap to the required value of 27mm and a miracle happened! The car drove no worse than other Priors! There was a feeling that before this the car was driving as if loaded with bricks, which should be enough for the Colosseum. +consumption on the highway fell a little, it was around 7.4 after 6.6 POSSIBLY THIS CASE IS A PRIVATE CASE POSSIBLY THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF HAND SHAKING BEFORE THE OWNER POSSIBLY IT WAS ASSEMBLED IN THE FACTORY SO BUT THE FACT REMAINS A FACT CHECK THE FACTORY VALUES By the way, the clicks in the clutch pedal still remain

Finalization

Purpose: install a gasket between the clutch cable and the gearbox fork

Procedure:

Remove the clutch cable end from the fork.
Unscrew the cable end, having previously measured the length of the free threads.
Remove the clutch cable boot.
Remove the rubber insert from the cable stop (photo No. 1).
Instead, install a round washer made of porous rubber (diameter 32-35 mm, hole 12-13 mm) (photo 2).

Cut a piece of rubber measuring 20x70 mm, 2.5-3 mm thick.
Glue it (for example, with “Moment” glue) to the plastic cable stop (one turn), secure with electrical tape 1.5 turns.

Insert the cable into the bracket on the gearbox and put on the boot.
Screw on the tip, leaving a couple of millimeters less free threads on the stud (since the new gasket is thicker than the factory part).
Place a 2 mm foam rubber spacer between the cable tip and the fork lever.
Adjust the clutch pedal.

As a result: the effect was noticeable immediately. Now the rattling can only be heard with the windows open. After modifying the clutch cable fastening, the car drove more than 15 thousand km, the gearbox noise was within normal limits. Increased vibrations and noise were noticed only at a temperature of -20°C, when the rubber gaskets become hard. The author has posted sound files (engine acceleration-braking mode at 1500-2000 rpm in 3rd gear), which shows what the noise was from the gearbox before and after modification.

On foreign cars, increased clutch cable vibrations are dealt with using a special weight (Renault Logan cable). You can repeat the foreign experience in a garage, for example, wrap a bitumen ball around the cable sheath (taken from a vibration damper).

Let us remind you that owners of Lada Granta, Kalina and Priora cars also encounter clicks in the clutch pedal.
