How to remove the gear knob on LADA cars (manual transmission, AMT or robot, automatic transmission)

Automatic transmission Jatco

In August 2012, sales of LADA cars with Jatco automatic transmission began. To remove the handle, you must first lift the casing up and remove the two screws securing the mount to the rod. Then, on the bottom right side, disconnect the white wire that goes to the O/D button. By the way, the automatic transmission handle can be shortened.

Small detail, big meaning! Gear knob.

By changing the gearshift knob in your car, you are making a small tuning element, but at the same time quite noticeable, because you and your passengers will always notice such a change. And there really aren't that many changes here.

With the gearshift knob, we can only change the nozzle itself, changing its shape or material, as well as the gearbox casing, which by default on important cars is made of leatherette.

We can replace the handbrake handle with the same tone and color, complementing the overall appearance of the floor tunnel.

This group presents gearshift knobs and handbrake handles for car enthusiasts and owners of Lada Grant (VAZ 2190) and Granta Liftback (VAZ 2191). Our consultants will always advise and help with the choice.

How to remove the gear knob on LADA cars (manual transmission, AMT or robot, automatic transmission)

AvtoVAZ equips its cars with three types of transmissions: manual transmission (manual transmission), AMT or “robot” (automated transmission) and automatic transmission (automatic transmission). We'll tell you how to replace the gear knob on a LADA in detail.

1. Old manual transmission . On VAZ cars of the “tenth family”, and then on Lada Priora with “mechanics”, the handle was very difficult to remove. First, we lift the cover (we remove the clamps from engagement with the tunnel using a screwdriver). The handle on the metal lever sits very tightly, because... there is a groove inside it.

To remove the handle, you need to pull it upward with force; if necessary, heat the part with a hairdryer.

Similarly, we remove the gear knob on the Lada Largus:

Removing the gear shift lever rod on a LADA 4×4 car (Niva 2121 and 2131). We lift the handle up a little and use a flat screwdriver to snap off the petals of the plastic lock, removing them from the ring groove of the lever.

2. New manual transmission . Subsequently, Priors (after restyling), as well as Lada Granta, Kalina, Vesta cars received modified transmissions and gearshift knobs, respectively. Now it has become much easier to remove the gearshift knobs on a manual transmission: unscrew it counterclockwise.

To remove the manual transmission handle on the Lada XRAY, you need to forcefully pull it up.

3. Jatco automatic transmission . In August 2012, sales of LADA cars with Jatco automatic transmission began. To remove the handle, you must first lift the casing up and remove the two screws securing the mount to the rod. Then, on the bottom right side, disconnect the white wire that goes to the O/D button. By the way, the automatic transmission handle can be shortened.

4. AMT or “robot” . In March 2015, AvtoVAZ began producing cars with robotic transmissions. Here the action scheme is the same as on the old “mechanics” - we pull the handle up strongly. By the way, the books also don’t write how to remove the tunnel lining near the AMT lever.

Hello! In this article we will talk about the #Lada Granta gearbox.

A gearbox in a car is not this:

The gearbox is a gearbox and on Grant it looks like this:

Three types of gearboxes are installed on #VAZ cars. These include a traditional manual transmission, a robotic transmission and an automatic transmission. The first two transmissions are made by VAZ, and the automatic transmission is made by the Japanese manufacturer Jatco. Vesta, Largus and XRAY are equipped with Renault-Nissan JH3, JR5 manual transmissions, but I will focus on the gearboxes that are installed on the Grant.

#automatic transmission Jatco

This transmission is installed only in conjunction with a 98 horsepower VAZ-21126 engine. Four-speed automatic transmission with torque converter. Automatic transmissions of this type are installed in Nissan, Mitsubishi and other passenger cars. This transmission is time-tested and quite reliable. Most malfunctions, as a rule, arise from the fault of drivers. Among the minuses, it is worth noting increased fuel consumption, sluggish acceleration of the car, twitching during gear changes during dynamic driving. Whether this is true or not, honestly, I don’t know, because I am a supporter of manual transmission.

#robotic gearbox

The robot box is, in the mechanical part, box 2181. Instead of a pedal and clutch unit, an electromechanical gearbox drive is installed here. By the way, produced by the German company ZF. updated Grant, the robot was also updated. The changes are reported on the Lada website. Online:

  • The main gear ratio has been increased from 3.710 to 3.940. This means increased fuel consumption, reduced noise and vibration levels in the transmission, and more dynamic acceleration.
  • New AMT operating modes have appeared: creeping, sports and winter.
  • AMT gear shift time has been reduced by almost a third.
  • In the AMT clutch, the driven disc has increased heat resistance and the friction linings have become thicker, which, coupled with new algorithms, makes field driving more confident. AMT 2.0 is quite reliable. But, again, I can’t say anything about performance, because I’m a manual transmission enthusiast.

#Manual Transmission

The mechanics on the Grant are a deeply modernized gearbox 2180, which was installed on the VAZ-2108. The first Grant releases were equipped with gearboxes 2180. The 2180 was replaced by the 2181 gearbox. Lada.Online cites the significant differences between these gearboxes:

  • Instead of rigid rods, a cable is used (Japanese company Atsumitec). Due to this, vibration on the body and gearshift knob is reduced.
  • Multi-cone synchronizers were installed in 1st and 2nd gears. This increases the service life of the components and reduces the effort when engaging gears.
  • The clutch diameter was increased to 215 mm. In this regard, it was necessary to use a different crankcase, and place the starter not along the box, but along the engine.
  • The bevel angle of the synchronizer teeth was reduced (from 125 to 100º), as well as the preload force (from 150 to 70 N). This made switching easier.
  • The gear selection mechanism has been newly developed (Schaeffler Group).
  • The gear selection mechanism was moved from bottom to top. This made it possible to eliminate oil leaks and make gear shifting easier in cold weather.
  • The design of the gear selection mechanism includes a selector plate, providing a clear gear shift pattern.
  • The mechanism includes a lock to prevent accidental reverse gear.
  • The oil volume in the gearbox decreased from 3.3 liters to 2.2.
  • From the factory, the gearbox is filled with semi-synthetic instead of mineral water.

The first manual gearboxes 2181 emitted a noticeable howl when the car was moving (that’s where the endless stream of criticism about the howl of the box comes from!!!), but later VAZ improved the technology for processing gears and shafts. And in 2014, manual transmissions on Grant became noticeably quieter. In the Grant Restyle, again, the manual transmission was not without modifications, so the gear ratio of the main pair of manual transmissions was increased from 3.710 to 3.940, which makes acceleration more dynamic. Despite the improvements, many owners note the following disadvantages:

second gear may shift into gear with a crunch;

  • switching is not clear enough, although a cable drive is installed;
  • Despite the improvements, the howling remained at second and third speed.
  • When accelerating the car, vibration may be observed in the gearshift lever in 3rd gear.

Otherwise, the manual transmission is quite reliable.

I have a Granta on mechanics. Of the listed shortcomings of the manual transmission, my car has none, except for a MINOR noise in second gear. And even then at speeds up to 40 km/h. I rarely drive at such a speed, as well as in second gear. This noise is so insignificant that one cannot dare to call it a howl.

The Lada Granta operating instructions for automatic transmissions require the use of only original NISSAN ATF Matic-S or EJ-1 oil. There are no recommendations for manual transmission and robot. But in earlier editions I was able to find information on oil in manual transmissions.

It is not necessary to take oil from the specified manufacturer; the most important parameter is the viscosity. When determining viscosity, you need to proceed from the region of residence. Here is the table:

Yandex pictures

#Changing the oil in gearboxes of all types of gearboxes installed on Grant is not provided by the manufacturer. On the official Lada website, in the maintenance regulations, there is no work on changing the oil in the gearbox. I won’t say anything about changing the automatic transmission oil and the robot, because I am a supporter of mechanics.

In my car life, I only drove a manual one, and changed the oil in the box twice. The first time this happened was on a Chevrolet Lanos. I had to change it only because the oil, at minus 5 degrees, became so thick that the car was driving in neutral. The second time on a Kia Rio, and only because of the replacement of CV joints.

Despite the high mileage, I have never encountered manual transmission problems in any car.

Material selection

The choice of material for covering is a serious and responsible matter: the driver will touch it during operation for several years. Therefore, the material should be pleasant to the touch, comfortable, wear-resistant, and breathable. The choice largely depends on the financial capabilities of the car owner and his tastes. People have different tastes: some like bright colors, others want to use almost snakeskin. Many people strive to stand out with interior decoration, to show individuality and originality.

The gear shift knob is made from different materials. Reupholstering the gear knob with leather is the best option in terms of price and quality ratio. The most popular is genuine automotive leather. It has qualities that are in many ways superior to furniture and haberdashery leather: more moisture-resistant, wear-resistant and strong. Analogs can withstand operating conditions (temperature changes, frequent contact) for no more than 2 months, automotive leather will last 5-7 years.

Perforated leather

Leather for cars has a special polymer coating that protects it from mechanical damage. In addition, thanks to the polymer layer, car leather is resistant to ultraviolet rays, chemical exposure from alcohol, gasoline, oil, endures frequent stretching longer, and the paint is highly resistant to abrasion.

An alternative to genuine leather are artificial materials: eco-leather and artificial leather. For the production of eco-leather, polyurethane is used; its composition contains 70% of the substance. Leatherette is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The use of polyurethane allows eco-leather to “breathe”, which distinguishes it from artificial leather. The cost of artificial materials is much lower than natural leather, so eco-leather is gaining popularity.

The covering material can be faux suede such as Alcantara. It is a material with a rough surface, pleasant to the touch. The roughness prevents the hand from slipping. The Alcantara-covered handle looks very aesthetically pleasing. In winter, when touching the material, a feeling of warmth is created, and in summer, on the contrary, suede gives the effect of coolness.

It is possible to reupholster with rubber material with an adhesive backing. They are easy to finish and are inexpensive.

Perforated leather is most convenient, as it is softer and more elastic than smooth leather. True, the pores should be small so that dirt does not clog. Smooth leather is more resistant to wear. The thickness of the material should be from 1.2 to 1.4 mm. The color can be any - it must match the overall color scheme of the interior. The classic option is black.

How to eliminate the rattling of the VAZ 2114 gearbox handle

Often, the VAZ 2114 gear knob resonates with the operation of the engine and makes an unpleasant rattling sound due to the following problems with the bushing:

  • wear of plastic bushing inserts;
  • discrepancy between the length of the sleeve and the dimensions of the fork.

In the first case, you will have to change the plastic inserts or the bushing assembly. In the second, you will have to bring the dimensions into line. To do this you will need a file, electrical tape and a vice. Often the manufacturer installs a bushing, which with its edges touches the traction fork (stage) and knocks on it when it vibrates. To get rid of noise, you need to do the following:

  • unscrew the bushing fastening;

  • remove the bushing;

  • clean (wash with kerosene) the bushing from any remaining lubricant;
  • make preliminary markings by drawing a line 1-3 millimeters from the edge of the sleeve;
  • wrap the sleeve with electrical tape along the marking line, leaving the edge open;
  • Clamp the bushing in a vice and use a file to file off the edge protruding from the electrical tape.

After such an operation, all that remains is to put on the plastic inserts and put the gearshift knob in place. The edges of the bushing will no longer touch the metal fork and the VAZ 2114 gear knob will stop rattling.

AvtoVAZ equips its cars with three types of transmissions: manual transmission (manual transmission), AMT or “robot” (automated transmission) and automatic transmission (automatic transmission). We'll tell you how to replace the gear knob on a LADA in detail.

Manual transmission 2190

A manual transmission that started its journey on the assembly line together with the release of the Lada Granta. In terms of its ideology, it is almost a complete clone of previous manual gearboxes from Lada, however, there are differences from the old models and the assembled gearbox from the tens or nines will not fit. Firstly, Granta has its own gearbox housing, which some craftsmen call the “bell”. Secondly, the principle of placement of the speed sensor is different; in old gearboxes there was a shaft for the speed indicator, but since with the arrival of the Lada Grant on the assembly line, AvtoVAZ began to switch to a different car control bus and the speed sensor 2190 is already built into the gearbox and only an electrical contact comes out.

Otherwise, in terms of its internal parts, the mechanism is completely identical. Despite its excellent reliability, it has a number of fatal drawbacks: low vibration comfort, poor selectivity of gear selection, large lever strokes.

At the moment, it is not used on Lada cars; it has been replaced by manual transmission 2181, which will be discussed further.

Material selection

Every driver wants the material with which the interior elements of his car are covered to be not only strong and durable, but also pleasant to the touch. In addition, it must meet the tastes of the owner and be combined with the interior design. The financial issue is also important. So how do you choose a coating that will meet all these characteristics? The following materials are most often used to cover the gearshift knob:

All of them have good performance. The coating will not tear at the most unexpected moment, and with proper care it will last a long time. But each of these materials has features that distinguish it from the rest. This could be price, softness, or even the ability to cause allergies. To make the right choice, let’s look at the characteristics of each of them.

Genuine leather for upholstery

Genuine automobile leather is the highest quality, but at the same time the most expensive material that can be used in upholstery. Leather seats, ceiling, control panel - it all looks solid and stylish. Having covered the gearshift knob with leather, you will not only enjoy its appearance, but also experience a pleasant sensation when touching it to change gears.

the use of genuine leather in the decoration of the car gives it a stylish and solid look

Leather is highly wear-resistant. Thanks to special processing, it is less susceptible to mechanical and chemical damage. In addition, this material is resistant to ultraviolet radiation, which means it will practically not fade in the bright sun. Another advantage is moisture resistance.

The optimal leather thickness for covering the gearshift knob is 1.3 mm. Thicker material will not be flexible enough to follow the shape of the part.

On sale you can find a special type - perforated genuine leather. It differs from the usual one in the large number of barely noticeable through holes throughout the entire area of ​​the material. In addition to all the above positive properties, it has increased elasticity, softness and vapor permeability. You need to choose perforated leather carefully: if the holes have too large a diameter, a lot of dust will accumulate in them. This means you will have to clean it much more often and more thoroughly.

perforated leather has many small through holes, which increases its performance properties

It is not surprising that the cost of leather is much higher than any other material. But despite this, its use will be much more favorable in terms of price and quality ratio, because its service life without loss of properties can reach 7 years. But, besides the price, genuine leather has one significant drawback: the chemicals involved in the leather tanning process can cause a severe allergic reaction in some people. If you are one of them, pay attention to eco-leather.

How to remove rattling gearshift knob (cable manual transmission 2181) Lada Granta and Lada Kalina

Since 2013, AvtoVAZ began installing a modernized manual cable transmission with the manual transmission index 2181 on Lada Kalina and Granta cars.
According to the auto giant, modifications to the gearbox made it possible to reduce backlash and make gear shifts clearer. But in practice, car enthusiasts began to notice that the gearshift knob was rattling. In 2013, Lada dealers began to receive numerous complaints from Granta and Kalina owners. Drivers were pointed out a problem with the gearshift knob: when it shakes and vibrates (especially in 3rd and 4th gears), crackling and knocking noises appear. AvtoVAZ issued instruction No. 31-13 (To download files you need to log in to the website), which stated that in order to solve the rattling of the gearbox knob, it is necessary to replace the gear shift mechanism. But this did not help, nor did replacing the gearbox cables.

At the same time, enthusiasts began to get involved in solving the problem and tried to eliminate the rattling of the gearshift knob with the help of modifications. For example, they put two springs on the cables near the gear shift mechanism, or put polyethylene in the plastic clip of the lever tip, but this also did not bring the desired result.

Soon AvtoVAZ finds another solution to the problem, which it describes in a new information letter No. 23-15 (To download files you need to log in to the site). The modification of the design consisted of placing a damper (dimensions 30x30x50 mm) under the right cable in the tunnel. Dense foam rubber can be used as a damper, which restores its shape after compression.

In October 2016, AvtoVAZ issued another information letter No. 64-16 “On eliminating chatter in the gearbox control drive of LADA vehicles equipped with a cable gear shift drive.” Now, whoever complained about the rattling of the gear shift lever in the control drive, it was proposed to replace the gear shift cables and their mounting bracket.

However, car enthusiasts have found another effective way to remove the rattling of the gearbox handle - tighten the cables with plastic ties. In some cases, it will be sufficient to tighten the two cables together in the engine compartment at the edge of the heat shield.

If the cracking does not stop, further tighten the cables inside the passenger compartment, and then tighten them to the metal plate. Do not overdo it, otherwise the gear knob will be too tight. It is worth noting that the use of plastic ties solves the problem of vibrations and rattling of the gearshift knob in most cases.

Have you encountered a similar problem? How did you manage to get rid of extraneous noise and vibrations? Let us remind you that another popular modification for Lada cars is the installation of additional door seals and firmware for the standard radio.

Removing and disassembling the gearbox control mechanism

Removing and disassembling the gearbox control mechanism

We remove and disassemble the gearbox control mechanism to replace the plastic washers of the gear lever shaft and ball joint. We carry out the work on an inspection ditch or overpass. Remove the middle mudguard (see “Removing the engine compartment mudguards”). Inside the car...

...overcoming the resistance of the clamps, we remove the frame for fastening the gear lever cover from the hole in the floor tunnel.

We slide the cover along with the frame along the gear shift lever.

Turning the cover inside out, unwind or cut the insulating tape covering the lever cover (during subsequent assembly, the insulating tape can be replaced with a plastic clamp).

We pull the cover together with the frame from the gear shift lever and from the lever handle. Below the car...

...with a marker we mark the positions of the gear selector rod hinge shank relative to the control rod (this will help with the subsequent assembly of parts).

Using a 13mm spanner, loosen the nut of the coupling bolt of the clamp securing the control rod to the shank, holding the bolt from turning with a wrench of the same size.

Using a slotted screwdriver, we open the clamp and move it along the rod.

Remove the control rod from the shank of the gear selector rod hinge. To remove jet thrust...

...using a 13mm spanner, loosen the tightening of the coupling bolt nut of the clamp securing the reaction rod to the tip... ...and remove the rod from the tip.

Using a 13mm socket, unscrew the three nuts securing the base of the gear shift lever (there is an installation bolt in the front of the base, shown by the arrow).

Remove the gearbox control mechanism downwards.

Using the “13” socket, unscrew the nut securing the gear shift lever axis (which is also the stop for locking the reverse gear).

We take out the gear shift lever shaft.

Pull the gear shift lever out of the control rod.

We remove two inner plastic and two outer metal washers, as well as a metal spacer sleeve.

Repair of gear shift lever Lada Granta

Removing the gear shift lever on a Lada Granta car is done to disassemble it and repair the mechanism in order to replace failed elements. The lever should move freely in the hinge, when you press it, it should return to its original position, the gears can be engaged easily and without jamming (provided that the lever drive is correctly adjusted).

To carry out repair work, prepare a standard set of tools and perform the following sequence of actions:

  • First of all, we remove the lever axis and its bushings.
  • Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the retaining ring.
  • We remove the ball joint with the gear shift lever from the cage.
  • Then remove the lever return spring from the cage. Immediately check its condition; if it has sagged or burst, replace the spring with a new one.
  • Perform a visual inspection of the reverse lock bracket lining and the gear shift lever shaft. If these parts show signs of severe wear or mechanical damage, replace them with new ones.
  • If you need to remove the reverse lock bracket trim, unscrew two nuts and one bolt securing it.
  • We remove the spherical washer from the ball end, to do this we move its ends apart.
  • Next, remove the ball joint from the pin. Inspect parts and replace faulty ones.
  • We carry out the assembly in the reverse order, not forgetting to lubricate all the rubbing parts first.
  • When installing the ball joint of the lever, make sure that the protrusions on it fit neatly into the grooves of the spherical washer and thereby fix the cage.

Recommendations for covering

First of all, you need to remove the handle from the main long gearshift lever. It is the handle that we will tighten. If you wish, you can also replace the cover of the lever itself, which hides the metal pipe in the tunnel. But more on that another time.

The task is to obtain blanks. Here is an option:

But there is another option. It is suitable for those who like the old case's shape and seam placement, but the product is simply worn out. To do this, carefully remove the old trim from the gearshift knob.

It will be used as a template for a new case. Cut out blanks from the new material in the shape of the old cover, and sew them together in the same way. The convenience of this option is that you do not need to measure anything, make markings, etc.

IMPORTANT! The cover should be sewn from the wrong side so that the seams are not on the outside. Then the comfort of gripping the gearbox will deteriorate significantly.

I think we can end here. If you have personal experience with gearshift knob trim, be sure to write in the comments, share your secrets and highlight the important points of the procedure.

To remove the gearshift lever on a VAZ 2110, follow these instructions:

    Remove the engine splash guard.

Disconnect the ball joint from the lever or remove it altogether.

We hold the extension with a “24” wrench and use a wrench of the same size to unscrew the extension nut.

Next, knock out the bolt and remove it.

Using two “19” keys, unscrew the nut from the bolt that secures the lever to the body.

We remove the lever from the bracket, having previously knocked out the bolt.

The next step is to remove the washer from the stretcher, as well as the lever.

Behind the large washer on the extension there are three washers for adjusting the angle for the longitudinal inclination of the steering axis.

To unscrew the brace from the cross member of the front suspension, use a pair of 24mm wrenches, unscrew the nut, remove the washer and remove the brace from the silent block.

Adjusting washers can also be installed on the extension at the front.

To replace the silent block of the lever, you need to press it out in a vice with pieces of pipe. Before installing a new silent block, you need to moisten it with soapy water to make it easier to press it back into the lever.

The silent block is knocked off the guy wire with a chisel.

The second one is dismantled in the same way.

We press the new silent block into the cleats and, striking the drift, press it to the end (the diameter of the drift is 8 mm). We place the drift in the windows in layers of rubber (there are 3 of them).
