Such a thing as a clutch plays an important role in the operation of the gearbox of each car. After all, it is it that is the link between the engine and gearbox. The clutch takes on all the loads that arise when transmitting torque from the engine to the transmission. In this regard, this element has the ability to quickly fail. When worn, this part requires immediate replacement. And today we will consider how clutch replacement is performed on VAZ-2110 vehicles .
How to identify a malfunction?
The most likely symptoms that indicate clutch wear are:
- Engine power is lost.
- The inclusion of gears with a slip or a characteristic crunch or jerk. You can also notice the difference in the efforts applied for this (you need to press the lever even harder).
- Spontaneous deactivation (knocking out) of transfers. This can happen with either the first or fifth speed.
- Vibrate when you press the pedal before shifting gears.
What do you need to have a successful replacement?
In order for the VAZ-2110 car to change the clutch successfully and quickly, you do not need to be a professional mechanic and acquire expensive tools. All you need for this is a jack, a mount, as well as a set of open-end and socket wrenches. With all this set of tools, the clutch disc is replaced .
VAZ-2110 - dismantling the part
So, let's get to work. To begin with, we unscrew the fixing bolts of the left wheel, and then jack up the front of the “tens” and put the supports in the back. Next, remove the wheel and unscrew the mounting bolts of the ball joint. Open the hood, remove the negative terminal from the battery and remove the mass air flow sensor. To do this, loosen the corrugation clamp. We get the air filter.
Next, remove the clutch cable from the fork. We unscrew the nuts securing the first element to the bracket on the gearbox.
By the way, if you need to replace the clutch cable, the VAZ-2110 can signal this to you with a pedal “stuck” in the floor during gear changes.
Unscrew the bolt connecting the starter and transmission. Take out the I gearbox mounting screw. We do the same with the II bolt. Release the nut and the upper starter mounting bolt and remove the connector from the speed sensor. After that, you can unscrew the speedometer cable. Next, we take out a longitudinal extension paired with a lever and unscrew the lower bolt of the starter. Next is the third gearbox screw - we also remove it. Next, we find another nut (it is in the region of the right hinge of equal angular velocities). We also take it out.
After that, unscrew the 2 fastening bolts of the jet thrust. We unscrew the nut on the tie rod of the gearbox control drive. That's not all. Next, we take out the jet propulsion itself from the gearbox, put an emphasis under the ICE and unscrew the bolts that secure the rear airbags. Now we remove the transmission from the engine and carefully lower it to the floor. She should hang on the half shafts.
Now we look and evaluate the degree of wear of the disk. At the same time, it is recommended to check the clutch release bearing and, if possible, also change it. Sometimes a car needs a replacement basket. But this must be done only if the petals are in poor condition. Everything on the VAZ-2110 clutch replacement was successful. Further assembly is carried out in the reverse order. By the way, motorists recommend clutch diagnostics every 80 thousand kilometers. Therefore, in order to avoid such troubles and possible malfunctions of the gearbox, it is better to determine and fix the breakdown in advance.
Clutch fork replacement
VAZ-2110 in this case is also subjected to dismantle of the checkpoint. First remove the release bearing.
Next, carefully remove it from the clutch lever and replace the worn rubber boot. Using pliers, we squeeze the tabs of the retainer inside and, picking up a screwdriver from the outside, take out the plastic axis sleeve. Raise the fork and remove its axis from the sleeve. The last part is also dismantled. Remove the spring clip from the plug.
What to do next?
If the lever or tabs of the fork are badly worn at the point of contact with the coupling, the fork must be replaced. In this case, the worn part is dismantled, and then a new one is pressed in its place, and all the way. Before installing the part, the plastic and metal bushings must be treated with grease. Next, the installation of the device is carried out in the reverse order similar to removal. Please note that the protrusion on the plastic sleeve must exactly fall into the groove on the clutch housing, and the petals must securely fix the installed part, preventing it from falling out.
So, we found out how do-it-yourself clutch replacement is done on a VAZ-2110 car. Knowing these rules, you will no longer need the expensive services of service centers.
