Replacing the VAZ 2109 clutch cable with your own hands: step-by-step instructions

Reasons for replacement

Practice shows that there are several main situations that force you to change the clutch cable.

Situation

Peculiarities

The clutch does not work properly

It becomes difficult for the driver to depress the clutch pedal, which causes problems when trying to move away or start the car, the clutch slips

Gearbox is acting up

It begins to switch with certain problems, and during operation it also makes strange, incomprehensible sounds

If, after pressing the clutch pedal, it does not want to return to its original position when you remove your foot, this may indicate a problem with the cable

Such symptoms can only suggest that the problem lies in the cable. To make sure of this, you should conduct a full check of the node's condition.

All the symptoms mentioned may indicate a broken cable or a broken fork. In the case of a cable, you will have to replace it. If the fork falls off, it will need to be returned to its place and clamped in order to prevent possible repeated falls.

Between a broken cable and a broken fork, it is better to face the first situation. Buying a new cable will cost 200 rubles, and a fork costs about 2000 rubles.

There are two ways to change the clutch cable:

Each option has the right to exist. We will introduce you to the two operations, after which you can choose which method to prefer.

Replacement procedure

Taking off the frill

1. Raise the car using a jack.
2. Unscrew the cable fixing nut. It is located under the clutch pedal.
3. On the pedal rod there is a ring and a locking ring.
4. To remove the cable, you will need to understand the cotter pin that holds it. To dismantle it, take a size 8 wrench and unscrew the cotter pin.
5. It is now partially free as it is still held in place.
6. Remove the frill and windshield wiper, then lift the hood.
7. In the engine compartment, find the cable fixation point. Dismantling is carried out with a 19 mm wrench, which needs to be used to unscrew the nut.
8. An old rubber band is often used if it is not worn out. Yes, and it’s difficult to change it yourself. But if necessary, change it. If you see strange wiring there, feel free to remove them. They do not perform any functions.
9. Insert the rubber band into the hole through which the cable went.
10. Place all fasteners, bolts, and nuts in a separate box so as not to lose them.
11. Install a new cable and tighten the retaining bracket under the hood.

Removing the frill

Without removing the frill

Here the operation is somewhat more complicated, since you will have to bypass the frill. But usually the work takes less time, which is why most VAZ 2109 owners choose this option.

1. Unscrew the clutch cable fastenings using a 19 mm wrench.
2. Remove the cable end from the fork.
3. It is not always necessary to remove the tip from the clutch fork. This largely depends on the location of the cable break.
4. Go into the interior and find the cable fastener under the clutch pedal. It's small, so a key for 8 will come in handy.
5. Unscrew the bracket that holds the tip to the pedal. Try to raise the pedal as high as possible, and then use a flathead screwdriver to hook onto the clip.
6. That's it, the cable can be removed. Just don't pull too hard. And what you should be afraid of here is not that it will completely break. You can damage the cable socket with sudden actions.
7. It is best to remove the cable through the interior.
8. There may be wires in the cable channel that interfere with removal. Pull them out with confidence, as they do not perform any tasks.
9. Also, washers located under the hood may interfere with your work. Just carefully unscrew them and you're done.
10. Remove the bracket from the pedal lever. This way there will be no problems with removing the cable.
11. Carefully insert the new cable into the hole through the interior into the engine compartment.
12. Follow the reverse procedure for assembling the assembly.
13. The most difficult thing is to put the tip fixation bracket in place. It is because of this that many advise removing the frill. But you can work around this difficulty.
14. Make a clip from a regular paper clip. Secure the bracket with it. If necessary, use pliers.
15. When assembling, do not forget to lubricate the cable with grease or oil, which does not freeze at sub-zero temperatures. This will make the element more elastic.

After replacing the cable, its adjustment is a must. Without it, the clutch may not work properly.

Adjusting the cable

To adjust you need:

• Loosen the locknut, which will allow the adjusting nut to move;
• Tighten the cable using the tension nut;
• You need to pull until the car shakes;
• During this process, it is a good idea to periodically press the clutch pedal;
• Do not overtighten the cable, otherwise it will soon break again;
• If you do not tighten the cable, the performance of the clutch will leave much to be desired. What to do? Find the optimal balance.

Replacing the cable, clutch disc and other manipulations with the clutch pedal require its adjustment.

Adjusting the cable

Pedal adjustment

To adjust the pedal, follow the following algorithm.

1. Press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and place a tape measure next to it.
2. The tape measure also rests on the floor at one end.
3. Having fixed the pedal in the lowest maximum position, measure the distance to the floor in the center of the pillow.
4. Release the pedal, then measure in the uppermost position. Write down the data or just memorize it.
5. Now calculate the amount of free play, that is, the distance from the bottom to the top point.
6. When replacing a clutch cable or disc, the indicator is usually more or less than 125-135 millimeters.
7. To change the parameter, you need to adjust the length of the cable sheath.
8. To do this, lift the hood and find the end of the cable. Use a wrench to loosen the tension on the locking nut that holds the cable to the lever. And tighten the second nut.
9. Similar manipulations are carried out until the free play is within the range of 125 to 135 millimeters. Happened? That's it, job done.

Adjusting the pedal

There is nothing particularly difficult about replacing or adjusting the cable. The main thing here is to do everything consistently, carefully and not to rush. It is haste that causes most failures when repairing a VAZ 2109 yourself.

Replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ-21099

In this article we will talk about replacing the clutch cable on cars of the VAZ 2108-21099 and VAZ 2113-2115 family . The clutch cable is a rather capricious and unpredictable part. It may work without problems for years, but it may break or start squeaking a week or two after installation. There are, of course, more questions about the quality of spare parts. But such unpleasant surprises are common, since no one is immune from purchasing a low-quality part! You will find recommendations for choosing a clutch cable below, but now let’s go through the reasons why you have to change the clutch cable. The first reason is a broken clutch cable (usually this happens near the clutch pedal). Everything is very clear here, the cable has broken, the clutch pedal is dangling back and forth, it is no longer possible to squeeze the clutch and engage the gear. The second reason is the break of several threads of the cable (as in photo 1). In this case, the gears (especially reverse and first) begin to engage poorly. You can temporarily improve the situation by adjusting the cable. It will be possible to get there or move somewhere, but you need to understand that the cable is on its last legs and it’s time to buy a new one. The third reason is the characteristic creaking of the cable when you press the clutch pedal. As a rule, the protective sheath of the cable is destroyed, moisture gets in, corrosion forms and, in addition to an unpleasant squeak, the clutch pedal becomes much harder. Here, not everything is so scary, you can continue to roll, squeak and swing your leg. But! I advise you to put a new cable in the trunk))) Since the squeak is the sound of friction and destruction of the cable. Accordingly, this process cannot last forever.

Preparing for work

Initially, it is recommended to find a place where it is most convenient to inspect the car and replace the part. Since you will have to work not only under the hood, but also under the car, the best assistants will be a lift, pit or overpass. If you do not have the opportunity to use one of these options, you can simply raise the car using jacks.

Also, before starting work, you need to make sure that you have everything you need at hand. To replace the cable you will need:

• new part;
• set of wrenches;
• screwdrivers.

On average, you can replace this element on a VAZ-2109 yourself in 20 minutes.

Even with careful operation, any part or assembly fails after a certain period of time. The clutch is no exception. On VAZ-2109 and 21099, as well as 2108, the clutch can be replaced in two ways, which we will consider below.

• keys: 8,10, 13,17 (two);
• heads: 8 and 24.

Replacing the VAZ-2109 clutch is carried out in several stages: preparation, dismantling the box, replacement and assembly.

After this, unscrew the ball joint mounting bolts with a 17mm wrench and loosen the fasteners of the left lever with a 24mm wrench. On the left brace bracket, unscrew the bolts and turn it down 90 degrees.

• Dismantling the gearbox. Using a 13mm wrench, disconnect the ground from the gearbox. Unscrew the fasteners and remove the lower part of the flywheel housing. Then remove the support and mudguard from the left side of the engine. To do this, first prepare keys for 8, 10 and two for 17. Unscrew the fasteners of the rear engine mount to the body and the gearbox drive clamp, having previously removed it. Finally, unscrew the remaining three bolts and the nut that connects the motor to the box. After this, carefully tilt the power unit and remove the gearbox, which hangs on the wires.
• Replacing the clutch. Using a 8-mm head, unscrew the basket fasteners. If necessary, install new analogues instead of the old release bearing and/or fork. After this, the VAZ-2109 clutch disc is replaced. Use a mandrel to center it.

The next advantage of this method is that in this case it is not necessary to dismantle the starter, drain the fluid from the transmission, pull out the speed indicator cable and dismantle the angular velocity joints.

The procedure for replacing the clutch disc is quite simple and does not require the use of special tools. First of all, place the car on supports after jacking up the front end. Unscrew the protection and drain the fluid from the gearbox. Then remove both wheels and unscrew the hub nuts.

Unscrew the bots securing the box to the engine and install stops under the transmission. Replace the bearing and, after removing the basket, install a new disc. Subsequent assembly is carried out in reverse order.

You can replace the clutch cable yourself. After all, this procedure is quite simple and does not require special skills or special knowledge. First, unscrew the adjusting nuts and inspect the clutch assembly, remembering well the position of all elements. Carefully remove the lower cable end from the bracket so as not to damage it. Dismantle the leash, which is located directly next to the clutch lever. Remove the stop tube from the pin and disconnect the cable end connected to the pedal. Pull out the elastic pad from the shield so you can pull the tip through. Install the new cable in the reverse order.

Clutch cable for VAZ 2109

Replacing the clutch cable on a VAZ 2109 is a relevant and in-demand matter. The fact is that replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2109 helps eliminate several problems at once, which will be discussed below.

REASONS FOR REPLACEMENT

Typically, on a VAZ 2109, replacing the clutch cable is necessary if:

• The clutch is not working properly. That is, it is difficult for the driver to press the clutch pedal, as a result of which the car is difficult to start.
• The gearbox is also acting up. In addition to the fact that it is difficult to switch, it also makes sounds that are not entirely understandable during its operation.
• The clutch pedal has fallen down and does not return to its original position.

Note: however, these “symptoms” may indicate the presence of other problems, so a complete diagnosis of the car is necessary.

All this appears due to the fact that the cable has either broken or fallen off the fork. In the first case, it will need to be replaced. In the second case, you can simply put it in its place, holding it at the same time so that it does not fly off again in the future.

Note: It is better if the cable breaks rather than the fork breaking. Indeed, in some cases, the pedal fails due to a faulty fork, and replacing it costs much more than replacing a cable (a new cable costs about 200 rubles, and a new fork costs about 2000 rubles)

Note: you need to look for it directly under the pedal.

• On the pedal rod there is a ring with a corkscrew ring.
• You need to remove the cable. However, this may cause problems with the cotter pin that holds it.

• After this, the cable can be easily removed, but it is still attached to the attachment point, so it cannot be removed yet.
• Remove the frill and windshield wiper. Open the hood.
• Under the hood, find the place where the cable is attached. Here you need to unscrew the nut with a 19mm wrench.
• You can leave the old rubber band if it is in good condition. In addition, it is quite difficult to replace it at home, since there are incomprehensible wiring along it (they do not perform any function, so they can be safely removed).
• You need to insert an elastic band into the hole through which the cable passed.

Note: in order not to lose the pin and other bolts, they need to be kept in some kind of box.

• Insert the new cable in place of the old one.
• Under the hood, tighten the fastening bracket.
