Adjusting the scenes of the VAZ 2115 - instructions with photos and videos

Features of the gearbox device

Before we talk about the causes of vibration, you should first understand the operating principle of the gear shift lever. So, in rear-wheel drive cars it directly enters the box (since it is located parallel to the car body) and its rattling is a sure sign of problems in the transmission itself.

In turn, the VAZ 2114 gearbox handle is connected to the gearbox by a system of special rods (after all, the gearbox on this car is installed perpendicular to the body) and does not have direct contact with it. The main source of sounds and rattling in this case is a small metal bushing, which connects the gear shift lever to the rod.

Its most common defects (leading to vibration) are:

wrong size;
poor (with backlashes) fit of parts;
lack of gasket.

As a result of this, during movement the bushing begins to shift and hits the wings of the rod, thus causing metallic sounds and rattling.

What is a short-stroke link?

Let's dive a little into the history of the creation of the node in question. It all started with auto racing. If you study the history of the origin of many working units that today are attributes of a modern car, you will notice that all of them, or almost all of them, came to us from motorsport. This is where the constant search for new products, upgrades, improvements, and driving comfort takes place. The same thing happened with the backstage.

Racing drivers once came to the conclusion that when they have to save every second, they waste time changing gears. It’s distracting, disruptive, inconvenient, and ill-conceived. Auto mechanics took care of the problem, and as a result, a short-stroke rocker was created.

At first, KK was used exclusively on sports cars and was their calling card, as it significantly reduced the time for changing gears. It became an excellent novelty, which was quickly adopted by all the world's manufacturers of sports models. Over time, the device migrated to ordinary cars.

An undeniable advantage of the system is the reduction of strokes during gearbox shifting. The short-stroke rocker ensures that the gearbox operates without backlash. Thanks to the CC, gear fixation becomes clearer and easier. And now about the minuses, or rather about the minus, in this case there is only one. This is a possibility of synchronizer failure. This happens due to increased load during gear shifting.

Dismantling and repair of the VAZ 2114 gearbox handle

In order to eliminate the vibration of the bushing, you must first figure out how to remove the gearbox handle of the VAZ 2114. In order to do this, you only need a 13-size spanner.

The gearbox lever is removed in the following order:

Place the car on the viewing platform and put the handbrake on.
Remove the old handle casing (this should be done carefully, as it can easily be torn).
At the base of the lever, find the fastening bolt connecting it to the rod, and unscrew the nut with a 13mm wrench.
Remove the lever together with the mounting sleeve.

There is an alternative option for dismantling the handle, which must be done outside the machine.

It is done like this:

Place the car in the pit and put on the handbrake.
Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the fastening nut where the tube enters the link (pipe-lever).
Remove the cover from the cross (it is advisable to place a basin under the machine, as oil will leak out during this process).
Unscrew the crosspiece fastener and remove the lever.

Once the shift knob is removed, you can begin to eliminate the vibration.

To do this you need:

remove the outer braid of the plastic sleeve, freeing its steel body;
wash off any remaining old grease;
carefully inspect the surface of the bushing for signs of friction on the metal. Their detection will indicate that the bushing is made incorrectly and is oversized;
constantly checking the size of the fit under the bushing, grind off excess metal from its surface with a file (as a rule, you need to grind off a little - just a couple of millimeters);
put new grease on the bushing (in the same place where the old one was);
choose a soft rubber gasket or wrap the surface with insulating tape (this is not necessary, but this will reduce possible vibrations);
install the gear shift lever in its place and tighten the fasteners.

When screwing the nut, it is recommended to drop a few drops of a special lock onto the thread. This will help prevent it from unwinding on its own and will securely hold the bushing in place.

If the handle was dismantled using an alternative method, then reassembly is performed in the following order:

install the lever in place and tighten the mounting bolt;
turn the car into fourth gear (as a result of this, the bushing will automatically fall into place - inside the rocker tube);
engage neutral gear and finally lock the handle. Also, at this point you can slightly adjust the position of the lever “to suit you” while in the cabin. It is advisable to do this together with a friend - one holds the handle in a comfortable position, the other tightens its fasteners.

In some cases (for example, if the bushing is too worn), there is no point in carrying out repair work, since soon the vibrations and metallic clanging will return, again spoiling the mood and causing discomfort. In this situation, it is best to replace this element with a new one, especially since it is not so expensive.

After completing the work on turning the bushing, you should start the car and check the effectiveness of the repair.

If everything was done correctly, you will notice that:

The VAZ 2114 gear knob no longer rattles in neutral;
there is no ringing or vibration at high speed;
Gear shifting began to occur more tightly and at the same time more smoothly.

If minor vibrations and metallic sounds still remain, you can remove the handle again and grind off another small amount of metal from the sleeve.

If suddenly the rattling of the gear shift lever appears during a long trip, then you can temporarily eliminate this trouble by simply removing the handle cover and placing a small piece of rubber under the bushing.

The VAZ 2109 gearshift lever is loose, what needs to be changed? | Topic Author: Taichi

In general, the problem is this... the fact that the gearbox lever dangles, I can’t control the speed... at any speed the lever dangles like in neutral... but I can’t catch 5 at all... I only drive in 4 all the time... what do I even need to change?? clip? backstage? cardan, or does something need to be changed there in this rubber band at the bottom (where is the cardan)? What needs to be changed..so that the gearbox and speed are turned on normally? ! help me please

Roman (Dhruv) is also loose on my tweeter (I changed the ball joint of the lever, it didn’t help!!!). On the new ones it’s also loose!! it's a disease!! I read an article, a guy from the inside under the lever casing stretched the usual rubber bands from his underpants, the lever stopped hanging!!! Nikita (Borys) had the same problem. I changed the backstage. and everything seems to be fine now Tima (Husam) installed a driveshaft from the viburnum, half an hour of work and everything is fine) but before it was also loose, the rear from first and fifth were generally difficult gears. Vladimir (Philipi) change the rocker Evgeny (Hawa) you need to change the choice Viktor (Aldonza) Nikolay, Exactly the same for me on 9. I installed a Kalino cardan, nothing has changed. Most likely the linkage needs to be changed. Danil (Oceanus) First, check it, put it on the lift and see, maybe the nut that secures the rocker is just loose, I had this happen, take the key to 13 and tighten it, judging by the symptoms, it is, but you need someone to hold the gearshift lever Oleg (Ebrilla) +1 The bolt on the driveshaft often comes loose, the symptoms are exactly the same, I had it on both the Pyatakh and Kalina, you pull the cover off the driveshaft and turn it to 13 with the key. For 2 minutes. Stanislav (Eris) Change the gearbox hinge and install from the viburnum Pavel (Melisenda) the linkage needs to be changed! ) Dimka (Kadin) my drawstring is the same crap Nikolay (Gavriella) should I change the assembled drawstring and everything will be fine? Vyacheslav (Maurizia) change the link, there is a bolt on the crosspiece that is constantly unscrewed and the shaft on the box may come loose Alesha (Dashratha) Nikolay, the link is assembled =) the price of the issue is less than a thousand... )) Danil (Oceanus) So, first check what you mean I wrote to you, why don’t you immediately throw away the money? Nikolay (Gavriella) the nut on the rocker is normal... I already looked at Mikhail (Setara) I just tightened the bolt on the cardan and everything stopped Stanislav (Eris) My bolt securing the gear shift mechanism and the rod inside the box has come loose. It was also dangling until it completely unscrewed :) Vladimir (Philipi) I have the same problem ((in any gear like in neutral, replacing the rocker didn’t solve the problem!!!! I just started catching gears a little better, but I feel like I’ll tear the hell out of everything there soon because that you shift from 3rd gear to 1st, and the same 3rd gear gets stuck, you panic, get nervous, and there is such a crunching sound, in short, it’s scary, what should I do????? Thanks in advance, I’m a newbie with the pelvis)

Eliminating vibration of the gearshift lever on a VAZ 2114

The gearbox is an important link between the car's power unit and its wheels; with its help, the nature of the torque changes. This happens due to a change in the gear ratio between the gears in the unit housing. In most cases, the driver himself decides when which gear should be engaged, that is, he mechanically changes the position of the lever and thereby changes the position of the driven gear relative to the drive gear. Let's figure out why the gearshift knob rattles on front-wheel drive cars such as the VAZ 2114 and similar 13 and 15 models of this family.

Manual transmission lever

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.

GEARBOX DEVICE OF THIS MODEL

First, we need to understand why this happens, where the vibration comes from, and why it’s actually not that bad on this particular car. To do this, we need to remember which drive is here and how the engine and gearbox are located. The car is front-wheel drive, so the gearbox is located perpendicular to the direction of travel, that is, the lever in the cabin does not fit directly into the box; a rocker is used. In the classic series with rear-wheel drive, the lever is directly inserted into the box, and if it starts to rattle there, then this is a sure sign of problems with it.

REMOVE THE SHIFT LEVER

Self-repair begins with the fact that you need to figure out how to remove the gearshift knob on a VAZ 2114 . This is usually done simply and the owners of similar 15 and 13 models should do the same, if, of course, they have similar problems. So, the algorithm of actions looks like this:

First you need to remove all the armrests and bathtubs that drivers like to furnish the space between the seats with. This must be done so as not to spoil them in the process of self-repair.
Next, you need to carefully remove the casing from the lever, since it can simply be torn, but it still costs money, and it adds significant aesthetics.
Now you need to find a bolt and nut under the lever, the latter is usually unscrewed with a regular open-end wrench 13, so there should be no problems with this, you just need to have the appropriate wrench. After unscrewing, take the bolt out, it is also advisable not to drop the nut.
That's it, the lever, together with the very bushing that causes the VAZ 2114 gearbox lever to rattle, remains in our hands.

Replacing the rocker rod oil seal

The normal condition of the oil seal determines whether the oil “disappears” from the gearbox, so if you notice oil stains on the asphalt after parking, you should think about whether it is the oil seal or the oil filter.

Therefore, after checking the filter, it’s the seal’s turn. A malfunction of the VAZ 2110 oil seal can also be suspected if a crunching sound is heard when changing gears.

The oil seal can only be replaced in a hole, overpass or other device that allows you to get under the car:

First of all, we pay attention to the rubber boot. If oil escapes from the VAZ 2110 gearbox through the oil seal, then the entire boot will be in its drops; We bend the boot and disconnect the cardan, gaining access to the cuff; We remove the cardan from the lever, and then from the rocker; Having removed the cardan, we get to the oil seal; Using an awl and a hook, remove the cuff on the gearbox; Now you need to press in a new oil seal

Traditional craftsmen usually install it using a plastic bottle cap; If the replacement was successful, we return everything to its place, install the boot, and we can consider this minor repair complete.

Remember that any rocker repair will not be successful if it is not adjusted correctly. It is best if the setup is done with an assistant, since it is problematic to do this on a VAZ 2110 yourself.

WE ELIMINATE VIBRATION

Now you need to carefully inspect the bushing externally, after all, it is precisely because of it that the gearbox lever 2115 rattles. If there is any external damage that is too obvious and signs of wear, then you may have to look for a new part so that you do not have to repeat these manipulations in the future . Now let’s figure out what operations need to be carried out in order to understand how to adjust the rocker on a VAZ 2114:

We remove the outer plastic braid of the bushing to free its iron body.
Now we need to see if there are any signs of friction on it. Their presence will indicate that the size is incorrect. They will be especially pronounced if the sleeve is slightly longer than necessary. If this is confirmed, then these extra millimeters are the reasons why the VAZ 2115 gearbox lever rattles. In this case, you need to try on how much excess is in the hole and simply grind it off with a file, usually there are only 1-2 millimeters there.
Now you need to select some kind of gasket according to the shape of the part, or simply wrap it with electrical tape so that it fits into place more tightly and then does not move.

So it became clear how to eliminate the rattling of the VAZ 2114 gearbox lever and why this generally happens. After our simple manipulations, the vibration should completely disappear, now the lever will always be in a calm state.

The described methods do not require any special knowledge and can be performed by an ordinary person in his garage with a minimum set of suitable tools.

How the box works

It has features that entirely depend on the configuration of the machine. This could be a four- or five-stage vase model. The structure of a four-speed gearbox is as follows:

1. Primary shaft;
2. Reverse gears, to which the front shaft is attached;
3. Synchronizers, 2 pieces;
4. Bearings placed on the secondary shaft;
5. Driven gear. Attached to the differential flange.

The element is controlled by a drive, rod, rod and ball joint. Only complete interaction of these parts can ensure full operation of the box.

Gearbox device

To determine the type of gear, there is an additional lever, which is attached to the inner end of the rod.

There are also axles in the body; a three-arm lever is attached to one of them. Its main purpose is to lock the bracket and bushing, which is necessary to ensure the strength and immobility of the mechanism.

The second axis is designed to fix the locking brackets from their rotation, passing through the center. In addition, there is a lock that prevents the box from loosening. The other axle also has a fork, which is necessary to engage the VAZ 2114 in reverse.

The five-stage type differs in the size of the shaft and the absence of a bushing in the element. Usually this is what is installed in the VAZ 2114, since the other one is not entirely practical to use. Like any spare part, a gearbox can also break down and fail.

The most common problems are:

Unknown noise: it may be caused by bearing failure or gear wear. In addition, you should play it safe and check the oil level;

The solution to the problem is to completely replace failed spare parts and add oil.

Difficulty shifting the VAZ 2115 gearbox: the drive rod may have become deformed. It would be a good idea to check how firmly all the screws are screwed on and how the box drive is adjusted correctly. There is a possibility of failure of plastic parts in the drive;

Solution: Strengthen the screws, adjust the drive, replace worn and failed parts, replace or correct the deformation of the rod.

Turning off the gearbox without the driver's participation: the cause may be damage to the teeth on the synchronizer, an incorrectly adjusted drive, or poor installation of the traction cover, which provokes incomplete engagement of the traction;

Solution: Adjust the drive and replace the covers, replace the failed spare parts.

Oil leak. The reason is still the same - wear of spare parts, which this time are oil seals, seals and hinge bodies

In addition, you need to pay attention to the strength of the fastening. If it becomes loose, it is necessary to tighten all the bolts and check the seals for damage;

Solution: Purchase new spare parts and replace them.

Where and how is it more profitable to buy a gearbox in case of its complete failure? Since the performance of the vehicle and safety depend on the VAZ 2114 gearbox, its technical condition must be taken very seriously.

That is why it is worth recalling that, like any element of the machine, the gearbox needs regular technical inspection. Saving on oil changes, untimely detection and replacement of breakdowns, complete ignorance of troubles with the machine’s mechanisms - all this leads to failure of the gearbox.

Don’t think that if you have a domestic car, that means you are lucky. The rise in prices for spare parts is indicated by the price of the box, which today ranges from 16 thousand rubles. up to 18 thousand rubles Add in fees for removal, installation and maintenance - the cost will be impressive.

Used manual transmission for Lada 2114

An easier option would be to purchase a used item. No one will give a guarantee that there are no defects in it, but the purchase will cost half as much.

The best option is to carry out timely maintenance and repair of the box. This approach will not only save the budget, but will extend the life of the parts.

How to eliminate rattling gearshift lever on a VAZ 2114

A symptom for repairing the gearshift knob is obvious - you get into the car, start moving, start to pick up speed, and in response the stick begins to shake, make strange sounds and vibrate. This happens due to an ill-conceived design, as it happened with VAZ engineers, because the problem extends not only to the fourteenth model. The vibration of the gearshift lever occurs according to the following principle: we are driving, and the bushing that connects the stick and the rod begins to touch the wings of the rod. It is made of metal, which naturally leads to unpleasant metallic rattling. Fortunately, this shortcoming can be corrected in a fairly simple way, without having a brain.

How to adjust the correct operation of the scenes on a VAZ 2110 - 2112

On VAZ 2112 cars, the rocker is configured in the same way as for the tenth model (see schematic photo of the unit). The work is easy and simple for one person to do independently in their own garage. If you're lucky, the setup can be completed in literally minutes. You'll soon find out why.

By the way, the VAZ 2110 rocker also needs to be adjusted after replacing the gearbox and repairing it, as well as simply over time due to loosening of the fastening connections or after replacing the driveshaft.

The procedure for setting up the scenes using the “ten” as an example will be as follows:

1. Drive the car into a viewing hole, overpass, or raise the bottom with a jack. In the latter case, do not forget about reinsurance.
2. The first gear at the gearbox must be engaged. Make every effort possible to achieve this.
3. Next, we slow down the car using the handbrake. To ensure that it does not work, we place safety anti-roll bars under the rear wheels of the car.
4. Go down under the bottom of the car and find a fastening clamp there that holds the tip of the cardan. You loosen it up.
5. Now you need to push the gearshift lever knob to the extreme left position (any other displacements are not allowed). Hold the scenes in this position.
6. Having gone down under the bottom of the car, fix the clamp back on the tip of the hinge.
7. If everything is done correctly, congratulations, the setup is complete. You can check the operation of the gearbox.

Disassembly

In order for the vibration of the VAZ 2114 gearbox handle to cease to exist, you need to have a couple of tools in reserve:

Socket wrenches 13 and 10
New drawstring cover
Overpass or pit in the garage
A smart friend who will help you tune the stick
You can stock up on thread locker, but you can do without it (this thing is attached to the side of the box itself).

It will take a little time, about half an hour to eliminate troubles and the same amount to adjust.

First way

Progress of the adjustment process:

Sketch, remember, remove or measure, but make sure that after installation everything is in its place: namely, at a certain distance from the passenger and the console.
Now you can crawl under the car and begin to unscrew the fasteners for inserting the bushing into the lever tube (also called the rocker) using a 13-socket, and remove the lever.

Backstage VAZ 2114

Then, remove the cover from the cross. Be prepared for oil to pour out. You can put the container in advance if you really feel sorry for him. Then pour it back. Well, unscrew its fasteners to remove it.

Drawstring without cover for VAZ 2114

That's it, now we need to install a new clamp - this is the bolt that secures the cross. You can, of course, clean and tighten the old one, but it is not so expensive that you need to save on it. And new things always inspire greater confidence in the future.

We will put the actions in the opposite direction with some deviations:

After putting the stick in place, inserting the bolt and tightening it, putting the cover in place, you need to engage 4th gear. This will drive the bushing into place - into the rocker (lever).
Then, put it in neutral. This is where a friend comes in handy: he places it, and you tighten the fasteners. At this moment, you can adjust the position of the stick, move it in the desired direction under you.
Well, then try the result. If you are not satisfied with how the gear knob is positioned on the VAZ 2114, you need to bring the adjustment to fruition.

Second way

The second reason for the rattling is the bushing, which is located on the lever itself. In order to get rid of this nasty sound you just need:

Open-end or socket wrench 13
New bushing
And a little patience

Repair or replacement

Before deciding whether repair, adjustment or replacement of the link is necessary, it will have to be disassembled.

Remove the cover on the gear shift knob;
The machine must be installed on a jack or on an overpass (pit);
Remove the front console, which is bolted on;
Remove the rocker by unscrewing 6 bolts.

During this procedure, carefully inspect all parts. You definitely need to bend the boot and inspect the condition of the support, cardan shaft, and oil seal.

It may be necessary to use a rem. kit, and perhaps a more complex repair is needed.

If the bushing is deformed, it needs replacement. If the cardan has play, as well as if the hole in the lever axis is worn, a complete replacement of the link and repair belt is necessary. the kit clearly won't help.

It happens that the rocker pad is to blame for the rattling noise when changing gears. Replacing a pillow is a simple operation, but can be beneficial.

Dismantling

To dismantle the box, we recommend that you rely on the instructions, strictly follow the sequence and reinforce your skills with visual videos.

Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery and drain the oil from the gearbox system.
Unscrew the bolts that hold the crankcase guard in place and remove it.
Disconnect the ground (wire) from the clutch housing.
At the end of the clutch cable, loosen the tension on the nuts slightly.
Remove the cable end from the clutch lever.
Disconnect the block from the traction relay.
Disconnect the wire going to the starter traction relay.
Dismantle the starter itself directly.
Disconnect the drive rod from the joint tip. We are talking about traction, which switches gears.
Disconnect the cable from the car's speedometer drive.
Unscrew the tie rod ball joint.
Remove and press the steering rod hinge pin out of the strut swing arm.
The shank of the inner CV joint of the front wheel drive should be pressed out and moved to the side.
Disconnect the second CV joint.
Remove the clutch housing shield.
Release the gearbox from the fasteners holding it to the engine.
Remove the box.

Carefully remove the gearbox
Be sure to move it horizontally away from the engine before directly removing the gearbox. Then disengage the input shaft. Be careful not to damage the clutch spring petals.

GEARBOX DEVICE OF THIS MODEL

The VAZ 2114 gear knob works differently and has a special rod system so that the driver can change gears comfortably. The reasons for the rattling of the gearshift knob lie in the banal little shortcomings of the engineers who developed this mechanism:

Incorrect connection sleeve size;
Lack of gasket;
The parts simply didn't fit together.

All these problems are revealed by the very small metal bushing that connects the rods to each other directly under the lever. In one case, vibration of the gearshift lever begins due to the fact that it was inserted incorrectly, leaving a gap. Or maybe the bushing was initially chosen a little smaller than what was needed, and it was not inserted tightly. In addition, then it was decided to simply wrap the bushing with a rubber gasket to avoid the appearance of a gap.

It is precisely because of the constant impacts of metal on metal that that same unpleasant iron grinding and rattling of the lever appears.

Malfunctions and their elimination

Gearbox repair largely depends on the nature and type of fault. There are several options for the breakdown of this unit, in each of which appropriate actions should be taken to eliminate them.

Malfunction

Possible reasons

What do we have to do

There is noise in the gearbox

The teeth on the gears are worn out;
Bearings are worn out;
The oil level in the gearbox has decreased

Add oil;
Replace worn bearings;
Replace seals if necessary

Gears are difficult to shift

The clutch is not fully depressed;
The rod that controls the gear shift mechanism has become deformed;
The integrity of the jet thrust has been compromised;
The joint or rod that selects the gear is loose;
The speed change drive is incorrectly adjusted;
The plastic components of the gear shift drive are broken

Try straightening the rods. If this is not possible, replace them;
Tighten the mounting screws more tightly;
Adjust the gear shift drive;
Replace damaged components

Spontaneous gear disengagement occurs

The ends of the synchronizer teeth on the gear and clutch are damaged or worn;
Cracks appeared, the rubber on the rear supports delaminated;
The gear shift drive was adjusted incorrectly;
The traction guard was not tightened correctly, which is why the gear is not engaged completely

Replace worn, deformed elements;
Correct the position of the rod casing;
Adjust the drive

Gears are switched on with noise and crackling

The clutch does not disengage completely;
The locking ring of the gear synchronizer, which is engaged, is worn out

There is an oil leak from the gearbox

Wear of the input shaft oil seal; Wear of the rod
speed selection;
Breakage of the speedometer drive shaft seal;
The cover on the gearbox or crankcase is loose;
The sealant under the gearbox cover is damaged;
The drain hole closure is loose

Replace gaskets, use new sealant and gaskets;
Tighten all existing fasteners;
Check the condition of the drain plug

In most cases, problems with the gearbox are eliminated by dismantling and disassembling it. Do not take on this type of work without the proper skills and experience.

How to adjust the rocker on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands

Before adjusting the gearbox linkage, it is necessary to perform a number of preparatory work:

Drive the car into the pit.
Tighten the handbrake and install the wheel chocks.

Method No. 1 - adjusting the rocker according to the rear speed.

Loosen the clamp.
Engage reverse gear and position the lever as you would like it to be in this position.
Then tighten the clamp and check how the rocker works, whether you are satisfied with the current position of the lever and the operation of the rocker.

Method No. 2 - adjusting the rocker at first speed.

This method is used, as a rule, when the first method did not produce results.

Turn on first speed.
Loosen the rocker clamp.
Turn the rocker drive counterclockwise until the gearshift lever begins to rest against the plastic reverse speed stop.
Tighten the clamp and check how everything works.

Method No. 3 - adjusting the scenes in neutral.

If you do not have a plastic stopper, the adjustment is made in neutral gear.

To adjust the neutral position of the gearshift lever, you need to accurately calculate the depth of the shift of your gearbox to the driveshaft of the VAZ 2110. Sometimes such manipulations result in the appearance of annoying rattling of the lever.

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.

Sometimes cases arise when fifth suddenly disappears, reverse gear does not engage, or reverse gear is engaged instead of first. Don’t rush to remove the box, just try to adjust the bushing on the heel of the gearbox. Adjusting the rocker of a VAZ 2110 (or VAZ 2112) is quite a difficult task, as it might seem at first glance. But this is only at first glance. Somehow the reverse gear disappeared at ten, and I thought that now I would have to change the box. I decided to look on the Internet with the hope that maybe not everything was so bad, I went to a couple of auto forums, and decided to check the gearbox mount and the bushing on the heel. I started with the less difficult one. To check the pillow, I took a jack and lifted the box, I tried it - everything worked. I bought a new pillow, changed it, but the speed does not turn on again. And here it began... from the pit to the car showroom, from the car showroom to the pit, trying to re-adjust the bushing on the heel and so on for an hour, when I wasn’t tired of everything, I sat down to rest and think carefully about how to adjust the rocker on a VAZ 2110 (or VAZ 2112). During a smoke break, one bright thought came to me, which ultimately helped me tame this unit.

Replacement of the gear lever housing and gear knob

First of all, it should be noted that on many cars, especially budget ones, the factory gearshift lever cover is made of leatherette. The quality of such material is average, that is, after 30-40 thousand km. After active use, this material becomes unusable.

The lever handle is often made of rubberized plastic. Although the material is more resistant to wear, replacement may also be necessary at 50-60 thousand km. mileage (especially if used carelessly).

The only thing is that when reinstalling a previously removed handle, you need to be prepared for the fact that the fit will deteriorate somewhat. The fastening is implemented in such a way that the rod has teeth for fixation, however, after twisting the handle, the material of the handle itself is damaged.

For this reason, when reinstalling an old handle (for example, after re-covering it with leather or restoration), special glue or liquid fixatives are additionally used.

So, before installing the cover, you should separately note the position of the tie. At first glance, it may seem that the screed is in the wrong position. Do not twist the tie, pull it, or try to put it in the correct position. After the cover is turned inside out to secure the coupler to the gearshift lever, the coupler will be in the desired position.
To remove the old cover, you need to carry out all the work in a warm garage or room, since at sub-zero or near-zero temperatures the plastic in the interior may burst as it becomes brittle.
To remove the cover, you need to press on one of the corners in the front, then use a plastic spatula, a ruler, or simply press the latch with your finger to unhook it. After the latch is snapped off, the second corner is raised and the second latch is snapped off.
Now the base of the cover can be pulled forward and lifted up. Next, you need to turn the case around the axis of the box handle to reveal the plastic tie lock. The lock is cut using wire cutters, and the old cover is removed from the handle.
Next, you need to bend the staples using a chisel from the inside (you can also use a flat-head screwdriver), after which the staples are pulled out from the outside.
In the front part of the plastic base, the latches are located at a slightly greater distance from each other than in the rear. The case will also have slots that are slightly wider at the front and narrower at the back.
Having decided on the front and back parts, the front edge of the cover must be attached to the base, after which, placing it on a support or on a table, the cover is attached to the base with a stapler.
Please note that if you use a cheap stapler and low quality staples, the staples may bend. To prevent this from happening, you should try to place the bracket in the existing holes.
Having secured the case with staples in the front, back, left and right, as well as in the corners, you need to check whether the staples have pierced the plastic through. If this is the case, the protruding ends of the staples will need to be bent inward.
Next, you need to turn the cover inside out, making sure that the tie also turns inside out and does not twist. To keep the tie in place, you need to hold it with your fingers while simultaneously turning out the gear lever cover itself.

When installing the gasket, it is important to achieve such a result that, on the one hand, the lever mechanism does not rub the cover from the inside during operation, and on the other hand, the mechanism itself works normally, that is, the gasket should not affect the performance and quality of operation of the gearbox lever mechanism.

Self-adjustment of the rocker on a VAZ 2110. Adjustment of the gearbox rocker with your own hands

The gearbox linkage, like everything else in a car, requires care and timely adjustment. A misadjusted gearbox linkage can cause discomfort while driving. For example, the gear knob may rattle, the gear shift may become inaccurate, the speeds may “knock out” from time to time, and the lever itself may begin to “play.”

To get rid of all this, you need to carry out a simple procedure for adjusting the gearbox rocker, especially since adjusting the rocker will take you no more than half an hour.

The gearbox slide is necessary to prevent random switching of gears due to the simultaneous movement of the sliders. Often, the entire transmission suffers from an incorrectly adjusted rocker, and as a result, you are at risk of malfunctioning the entire gearbox. In our previous articles, we have already talked about this detail several times, for example, in the article: About how to install a short-throw rocker on a Lada Priora. and also in the article: Installing a short-throw rocker on a VAZ 2109. In addition, the issue of engaging gears and gearboxes is addressed in this article.

Adjusting the gearbox slide requires the presence of an assistant, in which case the result, and the work itself, will be of better quality. It is fashionable to adjust the slide in several ways; below we will talk about each of them in more detail.
