How to install the clutch disc correctly on a VAZ 2110

Lada 2106 › Logbook › Clutch 2110 classic.

The clutch asked for replacement when assembling the car after body work, but I still decided to delay this matter a little because... the budget is not rubber, and at that moment we bought a lot of things that were missing in terms of bodywork and components. Putting the first one into gear was always difficult and was ignored by me, I believed that “that” day would come and I would change the clutch. Also, sometimes the rear one crunched, but it didn’t bother me too much. After six months of the appearance of a whistle coming from under the engine compartment, a crunching sound appeared. It was none other than a squeezer, a little later it crunched and rattled. And I kept blowing on the new pump. Well, as a result of all this, while driving on the highway at a speed of about 100 km/h, when engaging 4th gear, it crunched quite nicely. This was the starting point for purchasing a clutch. The choice is not to say that it is small, but still there is nothing to choose from: 1. Clutch kit 2106 Finwhale CK101 - idk, what a company. Based on the description on the manufacturer’s website, we can conclude that the company is serious. But for some reason it smells like chicken meat. Please note the model in the description and the kit:

2. The second number will be clutch kit 2106 HOLA S 201. With this it would seem that everything is clear. Regular factory ketai. But the clutch basket deserves close attention. To put it mildly, she is the twin brother of the first candidate for transmitting torque from the Zhuchka’s engine to her own wheels. The kit also hints at this to us. People speak of him: “As luck would have it.” Russian maybe, I overcame it and began to search further.

3. VIS clutch. Nothing to say. Regular factory clutch. It goes on average 30t. km. then the problems begin. In general, this suited me, but I wanted something more, although rather interesting.

4. Clutch kit 2106 FSO. This is a product of a Polish company, which in turn produces all sorts of spare parts. for non-our cars. And then there’s the humane price and the thought that maybe it’s still good weight? I also grew these thoughts away.

5,6,7 Clutch kits Beginning, trial, Road map, AT, to be honest, I didn’t even consider them. I really don’t want to practice removing and installing the gearbox at speed.

Scrolling through the RuNet forums, I came across a sketch about installing a clutch from a VAZ-2110 on a classic flywheel. The basket has the same mounting dimensions as the original 2101, only it is made without spiders. The driven disk also corresponds to the size of the original disk 2106. The only thing left to do is the clutch release. It requires the participation of our right and left hands. I won’t describe everything, but I will say one thing: for the correct operation of the 2110 clutch on classic Lada cars, a symbiosis of the release bearing is required. We take the complete clutch bearing 2110 and disassemble it into 3 parts. We are only interested in the bearing itself. The original classic one also needs to be disassembled and only the back part with the bracket should be used. To pair these 2 parts, you need to order a kind of adapter from a turner. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the fit dimensions of the bearing and the rear part must be made by the turner within a tolerance of 0.01 mm. Here's a drawing I found on the Internet:

Next, I ordered the 2110 VIS clutch kit.

There's only a little left. 4 days of waiting for the clutch kit and adapter. Not a nail or a rod!

Which side should the clutch disc be placed towards the engine? Which is correct?

I have my own sad experience of incorrectly installing the flywheel disc, when I assembled everything and at the first start there was no clutch at all, and even grinding sounds were heard. I had to remove the box again and change the disk side. Technically, this is what happened:

The disc hub rested against the flywheel support bearing, and the damper springs rested against the flywheel mounting bolts. Because of this, a gap of several millimeters has formed between the disc and the flywheel (that’s right - the working part of the clutch disc should fit snugly against the working surface of the flywheel)

The basket pressed on the disk from the reverse side, which led to the disk being pinched between the basket and the flywheel. Even when the clutch was depressed, the release bearing did not do its job, and the clutch disc remained clamped, but torque was transmitted from the engine through the clamped hub and the damper spring housing.

Replacement

So, having purchased a new clutch disc, we proceed to install it. To reduce the complexity a little, we will make the replacement without removing the box. We carry out work on an overpass or hatch.

Starting with labor feats, we will carry out the preparatory stage:

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

Remove the clutch slave cylinder.

Disconnect the driveshaft from the gearbox.

Unscrew the speedometer cable.

Disconnect the reversing light wires from the contact group on the gearbox.

Disconnect the clutch housing from the cylinder block and the rear engine mount cross member from the body.

Now we move directly to the main stage of our work. replacing the clutch disc:

We unscrew the nuts securing the gearbox support, move it back so that the gearbox lever rests against the rear of the floor opening. The front of the box will be supported by a muffler, and there should be a secure support underneath the back.

While holding the flywheel assembly, loosen the clutch cover mounting bolts by rotating the crankshaft to access them.

Move the clutch basket and remove the used driven disc, replacing it with a new one. Before installation, wipe the new disc and flywheel with a cloth soaked in gasoline.

The installed disc must be adjusted relative to the center of the bearing at the end of the crankshaft .

Further installation is carried out in the reverse order, not forgetting to adjust the free play of the clutch pedal afterwards.

With the help of simple manipulations, you can make the replacement yourself and save on visiting a service station. The main thing is not to miss the moment when the disk fails. No nails, no sticks!

Tips and recommendations for replacing the VAZ 2107-2101 clutch

The most important advice. During this procedure, use only spare parts with the original number. Even when repairing or replacing individual system components, only quality parts should be used. This will not only help to avoid problems with breakdowns in the future, but also will not hit the owner’s wallet too much, because the overpayment for a high-quality spare part when owning an AvtoVAZ car is insignificant compared to a cheap analogue.

Also, when carrying out this work without dismantling the box, it is necessary to have a hole in the garage or elevator, since the narrow cramped space under the hood will actually not allow working on the car.

What kind of clutch should I put on a VAZ 2110 and when should I change it?

Original number 21100-1601000-00, average price about 2615 rubles.

KRAFT KT098553 — 2894 rub.
LUK 620305100 — 3050 rub.
Trialli FR751 — 2235 rub.

The frequency of replacement depends on your driving style. On average, factory ones last about 50 thousand km, so car owners often replace them with imported ones, since they last more than 100 thousand km.

When replacing the clutch on a VAZ 2110, the following questions may arise:

Loosen the wheel bolts, jack up the car and place the sawhorses.

Remove the left wheel and unscrew the two bolts securing the lower ball joint.

We remove the “negative” terminal from the battery, remove the connector from the mass air flow sensor, loosen the clamp securing the corrugation to the mass air flow sensor, and remove the air filter housing from the car.

Remove the clutch cable from the clutch fork. Loosen the two nuts securing the cable to the bracket on the gearbox (hereinafter referred to as “Gearbox”).

Unscrew the bolt securing the MZ to the gearbox housing.
Unscrew the first gearbox mounting bolt.

You will need a good wrench with a 19 mm head and possibly a pipe wrench. There is another gearbox mounting bolt nearby.

You must remember to loosen this nut.

Work on top of the car

So, a start has been made, the goal is to remove the gearbox to replace the clutch. On VAZ 2106 and similar cars this is done quite quickly, it is only important to follow a certain sequence:

Inside the car, remove the gear shift knob. It is attached using plastic latches. Sometimes difficulties arise with dismantling, and it gets to the point where the latches break off. The price of a new set of fastenings is no more than one hundred rubles, and you can purchase it even after repairs have been carried out. Therefore, do not be afraid if you suddenly break the plastic antennae.
Go to the engine compartment, unscrew the four nuts that secure the exhaust pipe to the manifold. The fact is that the exhaust pipe will interfere with the removal of the box, but it is enough to move it a little to the side.
Disconnect the battery and remove it from the car.
Unscrew the two top bolts of the starter, disconnect the power wires for the windings and the solenoid relay from it.
Disconnect the ground wire that goes to the gearbox.

Carefully inspect whether there are any “upgrades” on your vehicle specifically that will interfere with the removal of the transmission. If there are any, then make sure that they do not complicate further repairs.

Every car owner sooner or later thinks about independently repairing his “swallow”. Let’s face it, this process not only saves money, but also brings incomparable pleasure. However, not all motorists have the necessary skills - each situation requires a special approach and relevant knowledge. In the age of the Internet, finding detailed and step-by-step instructions is a piece of cake. Today we will tell you how to install the clutch disc with the correct side, and avoid making common mistakes.

The clutch is necessary for the vehicle to start smoothly, without overloading the remaining parts of the power unit: the engine and gearbox. In this case, the main goal is achieved - the power unit and gearbox units function for a long time, in accordance with the norm.

As a rule, the disc is replaced simultaneously with the replacement of the entire clutch basket (due to wear and tear of the parts, it is more cost-effective to carry out a comprehensive replacement than to change the parts individually). You can carry out the whole complex of work in two ways: with dismantling the transmission, or without it (this method is much simpler). In order to change the disk you will definitely need an inspection hole or a lift.

You can select a clutch disc on the VagMag website for most foreign cars, as well as new ZAZ cars.

Next, VagMag specialists will provide you with step-by-step instructions, and we recommend that you follow them. Because Incorrect manipulations can lead to additional problems in the mechanism of your car, and to the need to repeat all repair work again, but in the correct sequence.

Some tricks

Experienced drivers advise, when performing the process of replacing the presented unit, to place evenly small dots of glue (moment or high-quality analogues) on the working surface of the basket. The disk is placed on the basket with the springs facing away from you and aligned along the edges. The glue will help secure the parts while they are attached.

Considering how to place the clutch disc correctly and which side, this method involves a slight continuation. After installing the gearbox, you need to engage the gear and squeeze the clutch and turn the mechanism with the starter. This method is suitable for most machines.

Replacing a VAZ 2107 clutch without removing the box is a rather labor-intensive procedure that requires certain skills from the car owner, as well as knowledge in the design of this unit. This part on a classic VAZ is relatively reliable, but time is not kind to mechanical parts, which become unusable as a result of high mileage. In this regard, the need for replacement appears.

How to remove the clutch

Using special wedges, we stop the car.
We release the cardan drive from the gearbox and working cylinder.
We turn off the limit switches of the reverse sensors.
We unscrew the nuts securing the gearbox supports, using a wrench covering the fastener on all sides. We remove the gearbox from the engine to the maximum permissible distance.
After all the manipulations, the gearbox should be strengthened with additional support, because it will literally hang on the exhaust pipe.
We remove the flywheel and unscrew all the clutch basket mounting bolts. It will be easier for you to reach the bolts if you rotate the crankshaft from time to time.
Remove the clutch disc by first sliding the clutch basket. Then we dismantle the basket itself, moving it towards the engine. We dismantle the clutch fork and release bearing.

Clutch disc design and purpose

The clutch disc ensures smooth movement of the vehicle, which is achieved by slipping the continuously rotating drive disc. Which is attached to the crankshaft in relation to the driven disk, and is connected to the transmission using a spline. The side of the casing is equipped with three rectangular recesses, spaced evenly. The hubs of the driven disk fit closely into the recesses. Thanks to this design, a torque is applied to the disc, and when the clutch is activated, it moves relative to the axle.

In the space between the clutch housing and the driven disc element, springs are located in pairs (9 pairs in total). In order to protect the spring from overheating (when the car slips), special asbestos friction linings are installed. The entire clutch assembly consists of:

flywheel;
clutch driven disc;
clutch baskets (pressure plate);
release bearing with clutch
