Which clutch kit to choose for Lada 2110

Even experienced motorists treat the friction clutch with due respect, regularly inspecting and adjusting this unit. This fact is not surprising, because the comfort of driving a car fully depends on the quality functioning of the transmission.

to completely replace the clutch , but deciding which clutch is best to install on a VAZ 2110 is something he can do. The test results of specialists from the magazine “Behind the Wheel” will help you choose the right kit.

Choosing a clutch - articles and brands

VIS clutch kit for VAZ 2110-12: basket, disc, release bearing.

The driven disk must have part number 2110-1601130. This kit is produced by the VAZInterService (VIS) plant, the external distinctive features are a diaphragm with 12 blades, one-piece smooth friction linings of the driven disk, the disk itself has 6 damper springs. The quality of the original kit is so-so. The high level of imbalance of the driven disk exceeds the permissible limit by almost twice. In addition, the VIS kit is quite heavy compared to its competitors.

This was also reflected in the preferences of the public - only 6-8% of users buy this kit for 2.8 - 3 thousand rubles.

Analogs

This is the most common choice of tens!

In addition to the Togliatti VIS plant, on the shelves you can find a lot of clutch kits from a variety of manufacturers, both domestic and foreign. Among the latter, a huge share is Chinese counterfeit. In principle, the list of the most popular manufacturers looks something like this:

1. German clutch LuK (Lamellen und Kupplungsbau), driven disc 320 030810, basket 2 D24 120 0252 10.
2. Their fellow countrymen, Sachs.
3. Also the Germans FINWHALE and QML.
4. Turkish companies Starco, Mapa, Kraft (article 2110 W3200C B2240).
5. VALEO, France, article number 21102 - 21103 - 21108 - 2111 - 2112 826622.
6. HOLA, Holland.
7. MecArm and PILENGA from Italy.
8. South Korean company FORTECH.

Domestic factories from Naberezhnye Chelny and Tyumen, as well as the local Nachalo brand, are also quite widely represented, but the quality of their clutches is difficult to compare with German, say, kits. And now a few words about how to choose a high-quality clutch on a VAZ-2110 without resorting to laboratory tests.

If you like to sink, then the hatch or sax is good, vis is medium, Valeo and Kraft are now China, Pilenga, apparently, China has never heard anything either.

Put LUK is very good, I give it to clients, KRAFT - very good clutches (BUT there are only FAKES - because of this, DO NOT INSTALL) Valeo - also not a bad quality issue SACHS - the BEST choice and you will only take it as soon as possible.

At one time there was a VAZ 21099, it drove about 120 thousand km. I remember very well that I changed the clutch twice, both times I took Kraft...

Why does everyone criticize the craft... Normal clutch, we have been installing it on training vehicles for a long time. It runs about 50 thousand in not at all easy conditions, but we set the release gear to VISovsky.

It’s strange that everyone criticizes craft. I had the V8 for 1.5 years and it drove great.

valeo is very soft, onion is the complete opposite. both walk well. I went 40k on the bow and sold the car. Now almost 30 on Valeo.

I set the sax! 3 years no problems!

Valeo is the softest.

Sachs is the supplier of the VAG Luk cover - Renault Nissan Valeo is also of original quality, VIS is the type of supplier of the AvtoVAZ conveyor The choice is yours.

I had a VAZ 2110 - I drove 4 sets of clutches on it! As it turned out during the sale, the reason was not my driving skills, but a factory defect (the flywheel was installed incorrectly)! Found out when installing the latest kit. So that's what I mean. During this time, I rolled 2 CRAFT targets, 1 - LUK, and one was supposedly original (factory) 1. Craft - pleasant, soft, small resource, weak basket, very poor quality lately (only fakes). 2.Bow - crafting is softer, resource is the same as Crafting. 3. Original))) - rigid, more or less durable. My opinion is that if you want a soft clutch aspiring to a foreign car, take Kraft or its analogues; if you like to skid, I recommend the original one (I did just that - I drove about 30,000 km on it).

I will support! Just not craft! My father had the factory one installed on the shnivy and installed LUK, I liked it, the pedal became softer. two friends put it on: one on 2110, the other on Priora, both are happy! The one who was so fussy about 2110 before LUKom tried two more and didn’t like it, put LUK and started smiling!)))

Take Sachs assembled.

Sachs, Luk, Valeo, VIS just not craft

What can you say about the factory one?

Normal, a little tougher than the above. I would take Sachs or Luk

install the factory one. I drove 2 different ones myself. I changed it to my friends too. It's the factory one.

Clutch selection

The manufacturer installed carburetor (2103 with a volume of 1.5 l) and injection (2106 with a volume of 1.6 l) engines on different VAZ 2107 models. Despite the external similarity, the clutch of these models has certain differences. The diameter of the basket pressure plate in both cases is 200 mm. But for the basket for 2103 the width of the pressure plate is 29 mm, and for 2106 it is 35 mm. Accordingly, the diameter of the driven disk for 2103 is 140 mm, and for 2106 - 130 mm.

Some car owners install a VAZ 2121 clutch on their VAZ 2107, which is noticeably stiffer and more reliable than the original one.

Clutches for the VAZ 2107 are produced by both domestic and foreign manufacturers

All VAZ models with rear wheel drive are suitable for clutch kits from classic cars of famous brands.

Table: clutch manufacturers for VAZ 2107

Operating principle and components

The clutch is single-plate, with a central pressure spring. Drive – cable. The housing is attached to the flywheel and pressure plate. There is also a driven disk.

For dozens, the “native” clutch system is VIS, and although many reviews criticize it, there are also many who believe that there is no better VIS (VAZINTERSERVICE) for VAZ.

The main components are:

• casing;
• Pressure and driven disks;
• Carter with bottom cover. It also has support planes with which the crankcase is attached to the frame;
• Release bearing for disengaging the clutch;
• Flywheel;
• Power plug;
• The cable lead that goes directly to the clutch pedal (far left).

This, in brief, is the clutch device of the VAZ 2110.

Clutch VAZ-2110

Clutch VAZ-2110.

Despite the fact that the ten clutch is primitive, like a cart wheel, it must meet many parameters in order to flawlessly perform its functions - high-quality transmission and complete interruption of the transmission of torque from the engine to the gearbox.

In addition (and few people know this), two types of clutches have been developed for the VAZ-2110:

• for cars with a carburetor or injection engine and a torque of 116 Nm (2110 and 2111);
• for 1.6-liter engines with a torque of 128.3 Nm (VAZ 2112).

You can distinguish a VAZ-2112 clutch by the hole in the slot of the petals and the damper springs.

Parameters and requirements

In addition, you should not discount the weight of the basket assembly, the weight of the driven disk and such an important factor (which our left foot will immediately feel) as the squeezing force.

And another standard is moving the pressure plate. This parameter should be 7.9-8.1 mm. The thickness of the driven disk is also important, not only in the free state, but also under load. The manufacturer must measure it under a load of 3.4 thousand N. As you can see, not everything is so simple with such a simple kit. Now let's listen to the reviews and reports of the expert laboratory.

Design requirements

As is known, certain requirements are imposed on the clutch of a car; it must provide:

• trouble-free, and most importantly, smooth activation, which reduces the load on the gearbox and improves overall dynamics;
• complete shutdown in the deactivated position, this will reduce the likelihood that the car will drive, and accordingly, the likelihood of a dangerous stop of the internal combustion engine will be reduced;
• reliable inclusion in the activated position, which helps reduce the likelihood of slipping;
• optimal heat dissipation, so your vehicle will not have problems with the device overheating;
• long service life and wear resistance of surfaces of rubbing elements;
• comfort in terms of control and convenience.

In addition, these mechanisms, like other vehicle components, must have such parameters as ensuring the most optimal dimensions and low weight. The device must be as reliable and technologically advanced as possible and have a long service life.

Loading …

Dismantling

Most often you need to remove the gearbox, especially if you need a replacement rather than just an adjustment. It is not necessary to drain the oil from the box.

You also need:

• Disconnect the battery;
• Remove the air filter;
• Disconnect the wiring harness;
• Raise the car, then loosen the clutch drive nut (on the right) and unscrew it completely on the left;
• Remove the suspension arm, ball joint;
• Remove the lower engine protection;
• Disconnect the transmission linkage;
• Remove the clutch housing and inspect it carefully. The main defects that the crankcase may have are cracks, wear of the threads or paws with which it is attached. New threads can be cut, cracks can be welded, thus returning the crankcase to working condition;
• After jacking up the engine, remove the gearbox, gaining full access to the clutch elements.

It is also possible to replace the clutch without completely removing the gearbox:

After repairs, you may notice that the clutch is too tight. But this is easy to fix without disassembling the entire system - from the interior side, by adjusting the pedal travel.

Basic clutch elements

Now let's look at what main elements are included in the design:

1. VAZ-2112 clutch drive disc (usually called the “basket”). It is installed on the flywheel and secured with bolts.
2. Driven disk. It stands inside the “basket” and is connected to the gearbox input shaft using a splined connection.
3. The release bearing is an element that allows you to act on the petals of the basket. With its help, the slave disk is disconnected from the master disk.
4. Clutch cable - allows you to transmit force from the pedal to the release bearing.
5. The clutch pedal, which the driver operates with the force of his foot.

These are all the basic elements that are present in the design of a car clutch. It is worth noting that the “two-piece” uses a cable drive system, which is much cheaper than a hydraulic one. But it is much worse in terms of convenience - the pedal is tight, this is especially noticeable on older cars. And if you want the clutch on your car to be as soft as possible, change the cable in a timely manner, do not wait until it breaks.

Luk VS Valeo: comfort

Perhaps driver comfort when driving is one of the few parameters in which Luk and Valeo clutches have fundamental differences. However, this does not mean that someone relies on convenience, and someone sacrifices it for the sake of durability - both brands provide comfortable riding conditions, they are simply achieved in different ways.

Valeo initially creates such a soft and smooth ride of the car that people often call it “feminine”. However, you should not mistakenly believe that Valeo clutch systems are intended only for sedate city driving: the parts perfectly withstand a wide variety of weather, climate and road situations - largely due to the fact that they are developed taking into account the conditions in which they will be used.

The main distinguishing feature of Luk is the use of an additional damping element that dampens vibrations and vibrations of the clutch discs, thereby providing excellent control characteristics on any route and speed.

Conclusion: both are comfortable and reliable, but Valeo clutch systems still have higher smoothness and softness of movement.

Clutch on VAZ-2112

This is what the VAZ-2112 clutch diagram looks like in disassembly.

The clutch on any car, including the VAZ-2112, plays a very important role. So, without his participation it would simply be impossible to transmit torque from the engine to the gearbox.

Due to the fact that this element bears a large load, it can absolutely be called a consumable material, because its main elements require immediate replacement if they are severely worn.

Video about replacing the clutch on a VAZ 2110-2112 family

It is impossible to influence the condition of the clutch in any way, and it is also impossible to control its condition visually, so its malfunctions will only appear when one of the elements begins to fail.

Tool for replacement work

To make the work easier, you need to prepare all the tools in advance.

• Inspection hole or lift.
• Jack.
• Wheel chocks.
• Set of socket wrenches.
• Mount or extension tube.

Step-by-step work order

Replacing the clutch without removing the gearbox

Before proceeding directly to replacing the clutch, you need to remove the gearbox. How to do this quickly and efficiently is written in this article.

When the clutch is dismantled, we continue work:

1. Using a spanner, unscrew the bolts securing the clutch housing.

We remove the dismantled bolts to the side.

Advantages

The main advantage of ceramics is a large margin of safety. It is installed on racing cars just so that the clutch does not run out after the first start. Therefore, fans of driving in the city and participants in automotive events also change the standard disc to a metal-ceramic one in the process of tuning their car.

Even ordinary car enthusiasts would benefit from a ceramic disc, as it provides a margin of safety and protects other transmission parts from overheating and wear. The resource of metal ceramics is 100 thousand km.

While the engine is running, the disk heats up and experiences frictional load. When the temperature rises, that is, when the engine speed increases, parts may become deformed. The normal clutch fails in this case. But cermets, carbon, Kevlar and copper can withstand such loads. That is why parts made from these materials are so valued.

The second reason why race car drivers choose ceramics is that it speeds up the gear shifting process. The material ensures good adherence of the parts to each other, which saves additional seconds. Due to this, there is an increase in torque, which is transmitted to the wheels. In the city, this function is not so important: most motorists are accustomed to smooth and measured gear shifting.

The advantage of this tuning method is that the ceramic clutch can be installed in the standard clutch and flywheel. This saves money when replacing disks and your time.

Symptoms of a node malfunction

Before replacing the clutch on a VAZ-2112, you need to figure out whether it needs to be done at all.

Among the signs of malfunctions are the following:

• When you press the gas pedal, you can hear the engine picking up speed, but the car does not go faster. This indicates that the clutch is slipping, there is practically no connection between the driven and driving discs.
• Extraneous sounds are heard when the car moves - this may indicate the destruction of some system components. As a rule, at the same time as these sounds, the system also fails.
• A hum is heard when you lightly press the pedal - a clear sign of a faulty release bearing.
• The pedal falls through - most likely the VAZ-2112 clutch cable has broken. This is the most harmless thing that can happen.
• If the cable is intact, but the pedal falls and the clutch does not release, then the release bearing has collapsed. Unfortunately, this also happens sometimes.

Knowing all the signs of breakdowns, you can begin repairs. Replacing the clutch on a VAZ-2112 with your own hands is not difficult. You just need to know the order of the work.

Stories from our readers

“Fucking basin. "

Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.

Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY!

What kind of clutch does the VAZ have from the factory?

How to choose a clutch kit for a VAZ 2110? Read reviews on the clutch for the VAZ 2110; when choosing, you can rely on the survey or comments.

It is best to replace the clutch immediately with a kit, but which clutch for the VAZ 2110 is better to choose ? Of course, everyone has their own ideas about which clutch is better , but you can still get an idea of ​​the TOP sets.

Clutch installation and assembly

Replacing the clutch on a VAZ-2112 is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. Unscrew all the bolts that secure the basket to the flywheel. If you plan to install it again, then you need to unscrew the bolts evenly, crosswise. The main thing is not to damage the basket.
2. Remove the basket and disk, install new elements in their place.
3. Tighten all the bolts (be sure to use new ones, since the old ones are threaded) and install the guide sleeve.
4. Tighten the bolts evenly, crosswise.
5. Remove the old release bearing and install a new one.
6. Reassemble everything in reverse order.

This is a short tutorial, but the hardest part is lifting and lowering the box, as it is quite heavy.

Troubleshooting and Correction

Let's talk about how to detect malfunctions based on special signs, as well as correct them.

1. If the clutch is leading, the following may be to blame:

• Insufficient pedal travel, possibly too tight. Adjusting the drive will help;
• Deformations in the driven disk. If straightening is not possible, then the disk must be replaced;
• The driven disk hub periodically jams. You can try washing and then lubricating the splines on the input shaft. If they or the shaft are worn out, replacement is needed;
• Rivets are loose or friction linings are broken. In this case, it is best to change the casing along with the spring and disk;
• The pressure plate is warped or warped. Replacing the linings will help, but before that, check for any deviations in the end runout of this disk;
• Something is wrong with the cable. The cable needs to be tightened or replaced, depending on wear.

2. It slips, that is, it does not turn on. Possible reasons:

• The friction linings of the driven disc are burnt or worn. “Cure” by replacement;
• The surfaces of the flywheel and both disks are oily. These signs also indirectly indicate that it is time to change the engine and gearbox seals. You also need to check if there is any oil leakage through the bolts securing the flywheel. In this case, it is better to place them on sealant. And rinse the oily parts (white spirit is usually used);
• The drive jams. Check and replace what is damaged.

3. It works, but in jerks. This clutch operation can be caused by:

• Oil getting on surfaces, as mentioned above;
• Jamming in the drive. Trace the “chain”, troubleshoot;
• Deformations or damage in the pressure disk, requiring replacement of the casing along with the disk.

4. It makes a lot of noise when it turns on. Most likely, these are signs that the springs in the damper have broken. Replace the entire driven disk assembly.

5. It makes a lot of noise when it turns off. The first suspect is the release bearing. It can wear out, become damaged, and lose oil. Therefore, naturally, it is better to replace such a bearing.

6. During prolonged operation, the clutch may suddenly disengage. The reason most often is that the release bearing is stuck. It is located on the gearbox guide sleeve. A worn bearing must be replaced with a new one.

There are also other problems. For example, the clutch is very tight, or it disappears when overtaking. With such a problem, you can still slowly drive to the garage, but if the clutch is completely lost, you can’t go, you need to call a tow truck.

Let's look at how to properly dismantle it, repair it, and then reassemble it.

Replacing the clutch of a VAZ 2110

You should think about replacement in the following cases:

• After pressing the clutch pedal, a noticeable vibration appeared.
• The clutch “leads” - engine power drops for no reason.
• Incomplete launch. Motorists call this malfunction “clutch slipping.”
• Extraneous sounds in the form of jerks and clicks when starting.
• Unauthorized disengagement of the clutch.

If you find one of these defects, then you need to carry out repairs. If replacing parts (for example, a fork) can be done with your own hands, then finding the faulty part is quite difficult. The best solution would be a trip to a car service center for diagnostics. The service is inexpensive - about 300 rubles. But after checking, you will know what parts you need to buy. Replacement and repair are carried out using an inspection hole or a lift, and the second option is more practical. So, we have new parts, an inspection hole with a jack or a lift, an amplifier pipe (can be replaced with a regular mount) and a set of open-end and socket wrenches. We can begin.

The replacement takes place as follows:

We need to lift the front part of the VAZ 2110 and securely fix it on stands. When working with a pit, you need to install special stops for the rear pair of wheels. Removing the air filter to gain access to the gearbox. Next, we pull out the negative terminal from the battery - this is done to protect against short circuits and burning out all the car’s wiring. Next to the battery we find the air filter housing. We dismantle it so that there is access to the gearbox mountings to the engine.

Attention: the fastening bolts must be loosened, not completely twisted. Remove the wheel caps from the front wheels and then unscrew the nuts. The nuts on one wheel need to be removed, and on the other they only need to be loosened, since the wheels are removed sequentially. After making sure that the stands support the car, remove the front wheel - it is recommended to start with the left one

Removing the front wheels to access the vehicle's clutch. Next you need to remove the anti-roll bar protection. On older VAZ 2110 models it may not be available. Now unscrew the bolt that secures the stabilizer. The next step will be to shift the checkpoint. Now the fastening bolts under the hood can be unscrewed. It is also necessary to ensure free movement for the gearbox: remove the left mudguard, move the left strut behind the wheel drive, and release the left support from the fastenings. Now we need to remove two connectors from the gearbox. Next, pay attention to the plate, which is located to the right of the gearbox. It is a mount for jet thrust. Before dismantling, you need to mark the location for attaching the lever. This will make reassembly easier. All that remains is to unscrew the fastenings to the engine - 3 bolts and 1 nut. Removing the pillow. After this step you will have access to the clutch. The next step is to dismantle the rear cushion, which connects the engine and gearbox. Before removing the gearbox, you need to jack up the engine or use supports. Now the box can be moved to a distance for full access to the clutch. We unscrew the basket and remove the release bearing. Next, we change the necessary parts. Experts recommend performing a complete repair, that is, replacing the release bearing along with the clutch. Replacement of clutch basket parts.

Many motorists ask the question: “How much does it cost to change the clutch at a car service?” The answer is about 2 thousand rubles, while a set of a high-quality unit will cost you about the same amount.

Choosing which clutch is better to install on a VAZ 2110 car and why?

Any mechanic will tell you that with a properly tuned manual transmission, the components wear out almost evenly; this, so to speak, is an addition to the above. Most car repair shops that provide at least some kind of warranty refuse to replace the clutch piece by piece for fear of returns. Among the variety of kits, the editors of “Behind the Wheel” chose five manufacturers:

What indicators were compared?

To make it easier for our motorists to decide which clutch is best to install on their VAZ 2110, the publication’s specialists compared the following parameters:

Compliance of the mass of the part with the requirements of technical documentation - the weight indicator of the unit has a significant impact on torsional vibrations, as well as inertial transmission loads. All presented samples meet the standards, with the heaviest being Pilenga, and the lightest being KraftTech. We can conclude that if the kits are interchangeable, there will be no significant changes.

• Clutch safety factor - characterizes the ability of the internal combustion engine to transmit torque, taking into account the wear of the linings. Pilenga and KraftTech formally comply with modern VAZ standards (2.1), but for cars of the tenth series any set from the five presented is suitable. Only the first two models are suitable for Lada 2112 engines.
• Pressure plate imbalance level - acceptable values ​​are in the range of 0.10-0.25 Ncm. Tests showed a complete discrepancy between these numbers of the VIS set. Valeo has a deviation of 20-25 percent, the rest fully meets the requirements.
• The level of imbalance of the driven disk - the indicator for all models turned out to be within the normal range, only in the Pilenga it is on the verge of what is permitted. The same kit did not meet the standards for squeezing force.
• The distance from the edge of the petals to the friction plane is an indicator characterizing the entire assembly. Exceeding the norm significantly reduces the service life of the car part. Here again, Pilenga’s indicators are unimportant.

It's time to choose

This time, the specialists of the Za Rulem editorial board were unable to find an ideal answer to the question of which clutch is best to install on the VAZ 2110 sedan. Perhaps the best performance in the top five was demonstrated by KraftTech and Luk, although the latter kit has insufficient torque. Valeo occupied the rightful middle - the balancing failed a little. The final list, where quality indicators are arranged in descending order, looks like this:

• KraftTech – there is no marking on the factory release bearing, but the thrust bearing is designated as X2200C; driven disk – Y 3200A B0206. Main features: four damper springs, there are 18 petals on the diaphragm spring. The box bears the designation: 2110 W3200C B2240.
• Luk – the kit does not include a release bearing, its marking is: SKF 500 063820; the pressure plate is branded 2 D24 120 0252 10, and the driven disk is branded 320 030810. The latter has marks for precise orientation during installation. The driven disk has six springs, the basket has 18 petals. The side is last marked.

• Valeo - marking is applied only to the bearing: Valeo SNR BB 126 18S50. The kit includes a mandrel for precise installation. The spring element of the pressure plate consists of 18 petals. There is a mark on the package - 21102-21103-21108-2111-2112 826622.
• VIS - there are no marked parts, the only special sign is the approval mark - AYA70. The pressure plate spring has 12 lobes, the driven disk has 4 large and 3 small damper springs. On the box: 2110-1601180.
• Pilenga - there are no markings or designations on the parts, but on the packaging it is noted: CK-P-4005 2110. The driven disk is equipped with 4 small and 4 large damper springs. The pressure plate spring includes 18 lobes.

Briefly about the torque transmission mechanism on the “ten”

Volumes have already been written about the technical side of domestic cars, so here we will consider only the very “tops” of the friction unit design. The classic “ten” is equipped with a single-disc dry clutch with a diaphragm-type pressure spring. The main parameters are as follows:

1. Disc size 200x140 mm.
2. Backlash-free cable drive.
3. The casing is connected to the flywheel with six bolts.

When should the clutch or its components be replaced? It depends on the driving style and the quality of the assembly. Some can drive more than 100 thousand kilometers without repair, while others install a new part every 15-20 thousand. If the pedal travel increases, as well as ring wear on the pressure spring petals is more than 0.8 mm, it is worth thinking about replacing the clutch.

The presence of scoring, cracking and uneven wear on the driven disk is unacceptable. A distance of less than 0.2 mm from the top edge of the trim to the rivets also indicates the need to install a new element.

Anyone interested in the question of which clutch is best to install on a VAZ 2110 car should take one point into account. On the “ten” you can install a clutch from the Lada 2112; the disc there is the same size, but due to the reinforced pressure spring it is capable of transmitting higher torque values. In this case, when pressing the pedal, you will have to apply more force, and, quite possibly, change the clutch drive cable more often.

In conclusion of this brief review, we cannot fail to mention the advisability of a comprehensive clutch replacement. No, if you have a lot of time and a wealth of practical experience that allows you to disassemble and reassemble the unit several times a week, then please - today you can change the release bearing, and in a week - the driven one. The fact is that it is not known how long the remaining structural elements last after replacing one of them. Therefore, change the kit right away - it’s cheaper and more reliable.

What is clutch?

Before you go to a car service center in Moscow or another city, try to figure out how to properly replace the clutch on a two-wheeler. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in the work procedure. You can complete all repairs yourself in a few hours.

The clutch is a mechanism that allows you to disconnect the engine crankshaft and the primary gearbox. As a result, the engine can work, the gearbox lever can be in a gear position, and the car will stand still.

A clutch is needed in order to change gears while the car is moving. If it were not there, then changing gears would be problematic - the lever is very difficult to move from one position to another. And all because the engine crankshaft and the wheels of the car are rigidly connected. And it is the clutch that allows for a kind of disconnection of the power units.

When repairing a car in a car service center in Moscow or any other city, you need to carefully ensure that the technicians complete all the work to the highest possible quality.

Why is it needed?

Without installing this mechanism on the car, the operation of the gearbox, the process of starting to move or stopping the car will be impossible. This unit serves as the main link for transmitting torque from the engine crankshaft to the drive wheels. The shaft rotates at a high number of revolutions, so direct access to the wheels is simply impossible. The connecting link between the engine shaft and the vehicle transmission is the clutch.

From its very name the principle of operation of this mechanism becomes clear. It is designed to connect and disconnect the motor with the drive wheels through the gearbox. With its help, there is a direct connection between the engine shaft and the wheels of the car; for this, it has several switching stages. The clutch mechanism provides just such an opportunity.

How to choose the right one

Competent selection in 2022 begins with studying manufacturers’ offers. Knowing several factors will help determine which clutch is best installed on a VAZ.

1. Precise car modification. The configuration of the clutch kit and its physical parameters depend on the type of car.
2. Estimated price range. Depending on the desired cost, the user can navigate by company. The final price tag is considered an important factor - you shouldn’t count on the cheapest model.
3. Method of operating the machine. With moderate driving under normal conditions, even simple modifications to the disc and drives will last quite a long time. If the car is used in racing mode or under critical overloads with frequent switching (this also includes training cars), you should buy high-quality products with a large margin of safety.

By taking into account all the parameters, the motorist can correctly select the required clutch model and install it on his car.

Flaws

The main disadvantage of metal ceramics is their high price. But today there are companies that produce spare parts at an affordable cost. Foreign manufacturers produce parts not only for foreign cars, but also for domestic cars.

Another disadvantage of metal-ceramics is the abrupt shifting of gears. Many drivers are afraid to use such a clutch in the city. But these fears are not confirmed by anything, since the mechanism for city driving is equipped with dampers. They soften the device and prevent jerking. This ensures quick gear locking, both in the city and on the race track.

You can purchase a city riding kit if you don't race. Auto athletes can purchase a special kit without damper springs, which only get in the way on the track.

Some car enthusiasts point out the following disadvantage of ceramics: rapid wear of the flywheel and basket. This is typical for cars with a “long transmission”. To conserve power, drivers change gears without taking their foot off the gas pedal. As a result, the basket actually wears out. If you switch according to the rules in such cars, there is a significant drop in power.

A small drawback that car enthusiasts also often pay attention to is a hard clutch pedal. After replacing the disk it does become more difficult to squeeze out, but you can get used to it

The cost of a ceramic clutch depends on the store and region where you will buy it. On average, prices for a wheel for a domestic car start at 6,000 rubles. Various kits are produced for foreign cars. A complete set costs from 36,000 rubles.

Ceramic clutches have their pros and cons. It is indispensable for powerful racing cars. If you don't go to the drag strip often, you may not need this kind of tuning.

Dismantling the gearbox

The most important thing is to remove the gearbox. Therefore, it is best to carry out all work on an inspection hole or overpass - it’s really more convenient. Procedure:

1. Remove the left wheel, unscrew the nuts from the ball joint and the tie rod end. You will need to move the box to the side; the drive on the left should come out without any problems.
2. Loosen the nut securing the rocker and remove it from the gearbox shaft.
3. Remove the starter, having first disconnected the battery and all wires from it.
4. Unscrew the fastenings of the pillows holding the box. It is recommended to place a jack or reliable support under the gearbox housing before doing this.
5. Disconnect the speedometer cable, disconnect the wires from the reverse sensor, as well as the ground bus.
6. Unscrew the three bolts and nut that secure the gearbox housing to the engine block.
7. Carefully move the box to the side; the right drive must be removed.

A little about how to properly remove the box:

• Firstly, you cannot remove both drives at once - replace one with a tube that will hold the differential.
• Secondly, it is imperative to drain the oil from the gearbox crankcase. By the way, why not replace it?

Fan-auto

All my life I have been surrounded by cars! First, in the village, already in the first grade, I was rushing around on a tractor through the fields, then there was JAVA, then a penny. Now I am a third-year student at the Polytechnic Faculty of Automotive Engineering. I work part-time as a car mechanic and help repair cars for all my friends.

Due to the fact that this element bears a large load, it can absolutely be called a consumable material, because its main elements require immediate replacement if they are severely worn.

It is impossible to influence the condition of the clutch in any way, and it is also impossible to control its condition visually, so its malfunctions will only appear when one of the elements begins to fail.

Tool for replacement work

To make the work easier, you need to prepare all the tools in advance.

• Inspection hole or lift.
• Jack.
• Wheel chocks.
• Set of socket wrenches.
• Mount or extension tube.
