Replacing the gear selector rod oil seal for VAZ 2114 - 2109.

Hello. In this article I will tell you how to replace the gear selector rod oil seal on VAZ 2114 and later models such as the VAZ 2109. At the end of the article there is a video for a better understanding of the replacement process. When you find fresh drops of oil under the car, this is a reason to drive it into a pit or overpass for inspection. If a worn gear selector rod seal is to blame, you will see a fresh oil stain around the rod. If there are leaks, check the oil level.

Along with the oil seal, it is best to change the cardan housing, since oil from the box most likely got on it. Rubber quickly begins to crack after oil gets on it. Another argument in favor of replacing the yoke cardan boot together with the box rod seal is the possible damage to the boot during removal. Well, let's begin! First of all, bend the cardan boot and put a mark between the gearshift lever and the cardan. This is done so as not to adjust the position of the gear shift lever during assembly.

Now you can start turning the nuts! We take the key 13 and unscrew the bolt of the gearshift lever clamp and remove the lever from the cardan.

Pulling the boot towards the box, unscrew the bolt with a 10mm wrench and remove the cardan from the gear selector rod along with the boot.

Here we can see the culprit of this event - the gear selector rod oil seal.

You can get it in three ways:

1. Using a thin hook.
2. Using self-tapping screws.
3. Along with the bushing.

The first method is quite simple. We insert the hook between the oil seal and the gear selector rod, turn the hook so that it catches on the oil seal and take it out. During this action, it is important not to scratch the gear selector rod! The second method is also not complicated. We take two self-tapping screws and screw them into the oil seal from different sides. We pull out the oil seal using the screws.

The third way to remove the gear selector rod seal from the gearbox is to knock it out along with the bushing. Take a screwdriver and hammer and knock out the bushing. Next, use the same screwdriver to remove the oil seal from the bushing.

We press in the oil seal.

If you removed the oil seal using the first two methods, i.e. without knocking out the bushing, then to press in a new one, you need to select a tube corresponding to the diameter of the oil seal (approximately 24mm outer diameter). In the case when the oil seal is removed with the bushing, simply press the oil seal by placing the 22 socket on it.

Next, coat the bushing with sealant and hammer it into place.

We assemble everything in reverse order. I hope this article was useful to you. Leave your questions and suggestions in the comments.

Jun 8, 2022 VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 2110, VAZ 1117 Kalina, VAZ 2170 Priora by admin

Is the picture shown in photo number 1 familiar to you? Is the shift rod seal leaking? Questions torment me - How to replace the rocker seal? Is it possible to replace the oil seal yourself? If so, then you have come to the right place. An article on replacing the gearshift rod oil seal on VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-21099, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2115 cars will be useful for you. After reading it, you will be able to replace the oil seal with your own hands without any problems and in a short time. At the same time, you can enjoy the work done and save the Nth amount of money))). Let's start with choosing a replacement method. There are only two of them. The first one, which I use and recommend to you, is replacing the rocker seal in the inspection hole by knocking out the bushing along with the seal. The second method does not require a viewing hole or overpass, but will require you to have a certain dexterity of hands, body flexibility and the presence of one (two) long screws. Since screwing these screws into the oil seal, pulling it out and pressing it into place while lying under the car..... This is not for everyone! Both dexterity and flexibility will be very useful to you here. But, let's take things in order. From the introduction we move on to the main thing.

Let's start with the arsenal of the necessary tools for replacing the gear shift rod oil seal on VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-21099, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2114, VAZ-2115 : two 13 keys, a 10 key, a wrench or screwdriver for knocking out the oil seal bushing, a small hammer, a 22mm socket, silicone sealant (Abrovsky 999 is perfect). For those who are still going to change the oil seal from the “lying on the ground” position, the list of tools does not change much: two 13 wrenches, a 10 wrench, a small hammer, one or two long self-tapping screws, a piece of pipe of suitable length and diameter for pressing the oil seal. (I can’t tell you the exact dimensions, since I don’t use this method).

Spare parts. Everything is simple here. We buy a Balakovo shift rod oil seal and immediately a cardan shaft boot, look at photo number 2. Practice has shown that in most cases this boot is either already torn or will tear during the removal process. So, we don’t rely on chance, and we buy the boot right away, and the costs are small. And you can save your nerves and time. And also... Recently, new gear shift rod seals appeared on the market, codenamed “Reinforced”!!! Look at comparative photo No. 3, on the left. I won’t praise or recommend them yet, since I’ve only installed one so far. On the problematic rod, which was leaking even with two seals. As they say, time will tell how strong it is)))

Now the final part is a description of replacing the gear shift rod oil seal on VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-21099, VAZ-2110, VAZ-2114, VAZ-2115 :

Using two 13mm wrenches, we loosen the clamp of the transmission control rod (the connection between the rod and the driveshaft can be marked in advance so that you don’t have to adjust the gear shift later) and disconnect the rod from the driveshaft (photo 4).

Pull the boot back and use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the bolt securing the cardan to the gearshift rod (photo 5). Remove the cardan and boot.

Using a screwdriver, resting it against the side, we knock out the bushing from the gearbox (photo 6).

Using the same screwdriver, we knock the oil seal out of the bushing and with a 22-inch head, press the oil seal in until it stops (photos 7 and 8).

Lubricate the bushing with sealant and press it into the gearbox with gentle blows of a hammer (photo 9).

For those who will work “from the ground” - perform steps 1 and 2, screw the screws into the oil seal, pull the screws and pull out the oil seal, press a new one with a tube of suitable diameter and length.

All! The main part is finished. All that remains is to assemble everything in reverse order and admire the fruits of your labor.

Oil seal replacement process

When the design, as well as the principle of operation of the gearbox, has become clear, you can move on to the process of replacing the gearbox drive oil seal. So. Let's look at the step-by-step process:

We place the car in the pit.

Replacing the universal joint

Most often, faults occur in the cardan, and not in the rocker itself, so it is this that needs to be replaced. Even the slightest displacement of the cardan can cause failures in the entire gear shift mechanism.

1. Step 1. Release the clamp on the drive rod and pull it off the rod.
2. Step 2. Remove the boot and knock down the cardan. This must be done carefully, with light blows of a hammer. If cuts or other damage is found on the boot, it is best to replace it with a new one.
3. Step 3. Install the new universal joint. In this case, you need to do all the steps in reverse order, but do not tighten the clamp.

After this, it is necessary to adjust the system (the sequence of actions is described in the corresponding subtitle of the article).
In this guide, we talked in detail about adjusting the shift link on the VAZ 2115, listed the types of this part, suggested how it can be modified, and also described the process of replacing the gear shift link.

Replacing the gearbox seal of a VAZ 2114

The gearbox makes it possible to change the acceleration rate of the car, increase the speed at different speeds, rotate the wheels at different speeds, etc. During operation, the gearbox may fail, which will require repair of the gearbox on the VAZ 2114.

Checkpoint disassembled

The best way to prevent breakdowns is to take preventive measures. Unfortunately, even the most careful care is not able to protect the box from the occurrence of certain malfunctions.

Manual transmission

Today, all cars are equipped with one of three types of gearboxes.

1. Mechanical. Speed ​​shifting is done manually using a special lever.
2. Automatic. No external influence is required to change gears. Switching is carried out depending on the degree of pressure on the brake and gas pedals. In this case, reverse gear is engaged manually.
3. CVTs. This is a mixed type of gearbox, where the bulk of the work is performed automatically, but if necessary, the gearbox is switched to manual mode.

Sports

We noted that for the VAZ 2114 you can install a sports short-throw rocker. Outwardly they are quite similar, but the difference in work is felt immediately. On a sports unit, gears shift faster and smoother. It's all about the design of the backstage itself. Unfortunately, it is precisely because of this that the process of independent replacement becomes almost impossible.

If you decide to install a short-throw rocker on your VAZ 2114, contact trusted car services, or even better, a studio that specializes in tuning. Such events are classified as technical improvement, which is why no one understands this better than tuning specialists. Even official AvtoVAZ car services.

Box nuances

The VAZ 2114 uses a five-speed manual gearbox. It is quite simple in design, which allows you to independently carry out preventive and repair work.

Device diagram

Experts recommend identifying a malfunction at the initial stage of its occurrence, since delaying means wasting even more time, effort and money.

Backstage adjustment

Step-by-step instructions on how to adjust the rocker on a VAZ 2114:

1. Loosening the nut located on the clamp;
2. Adjusting the position of the lever (at this stage you need to place it in the reverse position, and then tighten the nut on the clamp;
3. Checking the gear engagement (here you need to carefully monitor the position - if the left side prevails when engaging reverse gear, then you need to smoothly move the cardan counterclockwise; if, on the contrary, the speed has “gone” to the right, then you need to turn it clockwise).

The correctness of the result of the adjustment process can be easily verified. To do this, you just need to install the lever in the middle. If everything was done correctly, the neutral gear will engage.

Advice! Watch the position of the lever itself. When installed correctly, the part will move freely. If it still interferes with the passenger or driver’s seat, then re-adjustment is required.

Typical breakdowns

General form

Based on some signs, it can be determined that certain gearbox components on a VAZ 2114 need to be repaired.

1. When a certain gear is engaged, it does not lock properly and crashes. This indicates that the fastenings of the gear teeth and clutch are worn out. When reverse gear is difficult to engage on a VAZ 2114, you will have to take certain measures. Repair consists of replacing the damaged element. If the gear engages spontaneously, the reason may also lie in wear, delamination and cracking on the rubber element of the rear support. Just replace it.
2. To engage the gear you have to apply more force than usual. If the reverse gear on a VAZ 2114 car does not engage, the problem is most likely hidden in loose or worn teeth attaching to the hinge. This may also occur due to deformation of the torque rod or the appearance of cracks in the plastic part of the gearbox drive.
3. There is noise in neutral gear. The oil level may be too low or its original viscosity may have been lost. Plus, a similar symptom is characteristic of wear on the upper bearing of the input shaft. Check this element, inspect the oil level and quality.
4. It is not uncommon for reverse gear to engage with a crunch on a VAZ 2114. The problem here is the wear of the synchronizer. If the problem is not corrected at the first sign of its occurrence, this may result in the need to replace the entire gear assembly and synchronizer.
5. Noise is generated while the car is moving in certain gears. A similar malfunction occurs due to a damaged lower or upper bearing. Along with the noise, the lever may jam. The only option is to carry out a full diagnosis of the gearbox.
6. A knocking noise occurs in a certain gear with or without load. The problem lies in the drive gear, which will have to be replaced.
7. When the transmission is engaged, a cracking sound is heard. This indicates wear of the synchronizer blocking ring or the need to replace the satellite axle. The box will have to be sorted out to fix the damage.
8. Oil leaks from the box. The reasons can be very diverse, so you will have to carefully diagnose the checkpoint.

Features and purpose of the scenes on the VAZ-2110

The easiest way to get acquainted with the principle of operation of the backstage is to study the photo drawing of the product. This functional unit is directly connected to the operation of the gearbox and, through a lever transmission, allows you to switch the gears of the driven shaft. Thus, the driver can change the gear ratio of the drive and driven shafts of the gearbox. It's no secret that thanks to this you can change the speed of the car and accordingly adjust the torque that creates traction force on the drive shaft of the wheels. Thanks to the rocker, reverse gear is also engaged and the movement of the vehicle can be completely blocked.

VAZ 2110 backdrop

Naturally, the rocker plays one of the key roles in the car control system. If the gearshift lever is faulty, full-fledged driving in real road conditions becomes difficult, and sometimes even becomes impossible. Unfortunately, this functional unit can break down quite often. Surely, you will be interested to know why this happens and how to prevent the malfunction of the link in time. The next section of our article is devoted to these issues.

Repair and replacement

It is quite difficult for novice motorists to even simply determine why their gearbox is not working. What can we say about replacing the gearbox seal on a VAZ 2114, which requires a certain skill and knowledge in the field of car repair.

Unfortunately, if you ignore the initial signs of a gearbox malfunction, this may result in a full-fledged need to replace the entire unit. Many are even afraid to ask the current cost of a new gearbox for the “fourteenth” model. But we will say. Today such a unit will cost you at least 15 thousand rubles. Moreover, this price does not include installation services. Changing an entire gearbox yourself is not an easy task.

Another big disadvantage of replacing it yourself is the lack of a warranty. The factory will only provide it to you if the replacement is performed by a certified service station. So we strongly recommend that you contact an official dealer if it comes down to replacing the box.

Let's be frank. Situations in which a car is rendered unsuitable for transmission repair are very rare. Most often, something like replacing the gear selector rod seal on a VAZ 2114, gears, levers and other components is required.

It is difficult to carry out diagnostics on your own in a garage environment. To correctly identify a breakdown, you will need at least a lift and a driver’s extensive experience in car repair. But it is best to carry out diagnostics at a car service center with the appropriate equipment. Whether you entrust them with the repairs or handle this stage yourself is up to you.

The cost of repairing a gearbox on a VAZ 2114 is influenced by several factors:

• Location;
• Skill level of the craftsmen;
• Clauses of the concluded contract for the replacement or repair of the gearbox;
• Level of car service (regular garage-type service station or full-fledged car service with a large staff and new equipment).

Installation

It is better to purchase a new gear shift knob from Kalina, although some car enthusiasts prefer the “native” element from the VAZ-2114. Replacing the backstage with a new one happens like this:

1. A platform is removed inside the car, blocking access to the gearbox and transmission. The platform is secured with 5 bolts that need to be unscrewed.
2. Next, the clamp that presses the cardan and the rocker is loosened.
3. The boot is removed from the gearbox hinge and the fastening is removed.
4. The next installation step depends on which backdrop was chosen - standard, from VAZ-2114 or from Kalina. When installing a VAZ-2114 wing, the part may not fit into the seat, so you will have to solve the problem with the help of an angle grinder.
5. The size of the cardan must be determined using the standard part. After adjustment, you need to check that there is no runout on the body. If everything is normal, you can tighten the clamp.
6. Next comes the adjustment of the new part. You need to shift the gear to reverse gear by placing the lever in position R. It is best to install the lever closer to the driver's seat. After replacement, you can test the new link on the road.

New or refurbished old?

If replacing the gearbox cannot be avoided, it is worth considering one very attractive option - installing a rebuilt gearbox. To do this, companies purchase old, damaged boxes, restore them to the highest possible quality and offer installation with a guarantee.

Disassembled gearbox

As practice shows, such gearboxes are approximately 30-70% cheaper than purchasing a new gearbox.

There is only one important condition for successful savings on such significant repairs. It must be a reliable, proven company. Such companies value their own reputation, so they do not deal with fakes or low-quality repairs. In order to receive positive customer feedback and attract new customers, they simply must do everything well, conscientiously. That’s why today there are fly-by-night companies and companies where, over the years of work, they have established themselves as a reliable and responsible specialist in repairing and replacing gearboxes. You yourself understand perfectly well who you need to contact if you have problems with your box.

Extending the service life of gearboxes

You will be able to use your car for many years without going to car repair shops if you can follow basic recommendations. They will extend the service life of the gearbox, minimize possible problems, breakdowns and the need for repair work.

Transmission shaft assemblies

There are only two recommendations.

1. Always try to monitor the oil level in the gearbox. If it drops, be sure to top it up immediately, do not delay the procedure until later. When the oil becomes unusable, change it completely, rather than fill in the missing amount.
2. Avoid aggressive use, do not jerk the gears sharply, accelerate smoothly, and brake similarly. A simple caring attitude towards the gearbox will allow you to avoid wear and tear and numerous breakdowns.

As you can see, solving problems with checkpoints is not so easy. Therefore, the best option is to prevent their occurrence.

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 gearbox seal for VAZ-2109, 2114. Its price is about 100 -200 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.
