Algorithm for installing a short-stroke rocker on a Lada Priora

Installation of a short-stroke rocker on a Lada Priora

Previously, we have already reviewed the installation of a short-stroke rocker on a VAZ 2109, so here there will be no information about what it is and what the benefits of this part are, we will talk about its installation.

1. To gain access to the bolts, the decorative cover must be removed from the knob box lever. The latter is not secured to the lever in any way; to remove it, it will be enough to pull strongly.

1. It is noticeable in the photo that the cardan rods are different in length. This problem can be solved by shortening the Kalinovsky rod, taking into account the type of short-stroke link. Sometimes the rod does not go in completely, so the gearbox lever moves towards the handbrake. If you need to shorten it, cut off 1-2 centimeters.

Gear shift setting for VAZ 2110

If you do not have a plastic stopper, the adjustment is made in neutral gear.
None If adjusting the rocker does not lead to anything and there is still a problem with switching, replace the rocker completely or ask for help from specialists.

Problems with adjusting the gearbox linkage lead to the appearance of unnecessary sounds and overtones while driving, “knocking out” speeds, the appearance of play in the gearshift lever, and an increased risk of gearbox failure. All this is both inconvenient and simply dangerous on the road, and therefore work on adjusting the gearbox linkage must be carried out when the first signs of imbalance appear. Moreover, you can do this yourself, and all you have is a free half hour and an assistant.

The work is carried out on a viewing hole or a lift (with the handbrake engaged and using wheel chocks, of course). If there is no inspection hole or overpass, you can adjust the gearbox rocker in the usual way, by lifting the car with a jack.

1. The thrust should be installed through the interior. It's good if you have an assistant nearby. He will hold it by the elastic band in the cabin, at this time you need to stretch the traction.

Assembly is performed in reverse order

1. First, we put the rod on the cardan shaft.
2. Then you can begin assembling the reverse gear locking mechanism. Lubricate the spring ball.
3. Adjust the gearshift lever.
4. Tighten the clamp on the rod.

How to determine that the backstage cushion needs to be changed?

The rocker pad may have damage to the rubber part, the so-called clip. It is not uncommon for a pillow to break off its rubber ears, fly out, and destroy its metal and plastic bushings. If such damage is found, the shift rocker cushion should be replaced.

Spare parts

To carry out the work, you will need to buy a ball joint clip for the gearshift mechanism of VAZ 2110-2112 cars - BRT (Balakovo). BRTs have proven themselves well.

Attention!

If you first assemble the reverse gear locking mechanism, the long rod will not allow you to put the rod on the cardan shaft. The problem can be solved by shortening it. It is important not to forget to put the boot on the driveshaft.

Adjust the reverse gear locking mechanism, since the consequence of adjusting the scenes is that the mechanism does not match the plate to which it clings. The problem can be solved by removing the plate and adjusting the hook (it is a cutout on the mounting bracket). You can sharpen it with sandpaper or a file.

To complete the procedure, you need to put on a manual transmission cover with a knob.

Causes

The reasons why reverse gear engagement is poor or difficult may be as follows:

• loosening of the fastening clamp of the rocker, due to which the length of the rod is not enough to fully engage the gear;
• jamming of the reverse speed lock;
• spring breakage and debris getting into the guide grooves of the gear selection mechanism;
• spontaneous loosening of the selection mechanism mounting bolts;
• the clamp bolt is cut off;
• wear of the clutch disc and release bearing;
• incorrect adjustment of the clutch and clutch pedal;
• low oil level in the box or the need to replace it.
