Adjusting the VAZ 2115 rocker (short-stroke and long-stroke)

Varieties of backstage

There are many models and designs. Each of them is characterized by its own characteristics. They are usually classified into two main types:

• long stroke;
• short-stroke.

Long-stroke scenes are often called standard. They were used in the production of cars of the domestic VAZ brand (starting from 2109, etc.). Short-stroke rockers are typical for Kalina cars. They are similar in design to long-stroke ones.

Attention! The main difference between long-stroke and short-stroke is size. It is due to this that it is more convenient to change gears to second.

Modification by installing a different type of backstage

In the photo above there is a short-throw rocker, below is a standard one from a VAZ-2110.
Currently, VAZ-2110 owners have the opportunity to install an improved gearbox linkage on their car. This tuning includes replacing a standard part with a short-stroke rocker. Thanks to this procedure, gear shifts begin to shift much more clearly. Installation of the modernized backstage occurs according to the following algorithm:

1. First, you need to disassemble the ball from the outside.
2. You need to unclench the iron ring of the support and spread the plastic legs. After this the ball will come out.
3. The thrust from the support is switched off. A piece of pipe and a piece of sheet metal need to be welded to the rod itself.
   The diagram shows the incision locations.

   Insertion into the original 10th slide.

   We replace the cardan with a trimmed Kalinovsky one.

4. The hinge with the hook must be lifted up.
   The result of the work done.

   View from above.

On the other hand, the force that will need to be applied to the lever will become much greater. Therefore, for those who do not like to change gears with force, installing a short-throw shifter is not recommended.

Backstage adjustment

1. Loosening the nut located on the clamp;
2. Adjusting the position of the lever (at this stage you need to place it in the reverse position, and then tighten the nut on the clamp;
3. Checking the gear engagement (here you need to carefully monitor the position - if the left side prevails when engaging reverse gear, then you need to smoothly move the cardan counterclockwise; if, on the contrary, the speed has “gone” to the right, then you need to turn it clockwise).

The correctness of the result of the adjustment process can be easily verified. To do this, you just need to install the lever in the middle. If everything was done correctly, the neutral gear will engage.

Advice! Watch the position of the lever itself. When installed correctly, the part will move freely. If it still interferes with the passenger or driver’s seat, then re-adjustment is required.

What is a short-stroke link?

The standard rocker on the VAZ 2114 is a very reliable device, and even in the event of any malfunctions, it is easily repaired, is unpretentious to donor parts and creates a general impression of an analogue of a Kalashnikov assault rifle from the world of automobile rockers.

But what is really not pleasing about it is the attitude of the designers towards the comfort of the car enthusiast; perhaps some of them think that clogging the gears with a sweeping click is stylish, but in reality it only distracts from the road. It was to resolve this situation that the short-stroke slide was created.

Short-stroke rocker VAZ 2114

This engineering idea is not something innovative; this idea came to civil vehicles from the world of sports competitions, where fractions of seconds decide everything. Initially, to reduce switching time and increase its accuracy in sports, boxes with a lever mounted in the gearbox housing were used, but it transmitted vibrations and did not allow the creation of more convenient control methods.

Therefore, a mechanism called a rocker was developed, the task of which was to convey the motorist’s decision to shift the gear forks into the gearbox through racks located outside the gearbox housing. This gearbox control inherited the sweeping switching of the forks from its older brother - the “lever in the body”.

Therefore, this engineering solution was further improved, as a result of which a short-stroke rocker appeared on the VAZ 2114 and other cars.

Sports

We noted that for the VAZ 2114 you can install a sports short-throw rocker. Outwardly they are quite similar, but the difference in work is felt immediately. On a sports unit, gears shift faster and smoother. It's all about the design of the backstage itself. Unfortunately, it is precisely because of this that the process of independent replacement becomes almost impossible.

Sports model

If you decide to install a short-throw rocker on your VAZ 2114, contact trusted car services, or even better, a studio that specializes in tuning. Such events are classified as technical improvement, which is why no one understands this better than tuning specialists. Even official AvtoVAZ car services.

Pros and cons of a short-throw rocker

The motorist should understand that replacing the VAZ 2114 backstage will bring not only positive aspects to his life, but also some difficulties, which is worth knowing in advance.

So, the clear advantages of such modernization include:

• reducing the travel of the gearshift lever by two or more times;
• eradication of backlashes present in the standard scenes of cars;
• high switching accuracy;
• minimal use of the driver's shoulder to change gears (the load is transferred to the hand).

Short-stroke kit

There is only one downside: reducing the force lever leads to an increase in the load on the synchronizers, which increases the rate of their depreciation by two or more times.

Modernization of standard to short-stroke

If you are not afraid of the minus associated with reducing the time before repairing another unit, but it is too easy to buy a ready-made copy, know that the standard rocker on a VAZ 2114 can be converted into a short-stroke one with due effort.

To carry out this operation you will need:

• standard rocker 2114;
• backstage repair kit 2114 (the bushings and axle from it will be useful);
• ball nut;
• metal tube with a diameter of 15 mm;
• steering cardan.

When all the necessary spare parts have been found, you must perform the steps in the following order:

1. We cut the ball from the wings.
2. We grind the lower edge of the cut so that it fits the tube.
3. We put on the pipe and scald.
4. We weld a ball nut to the lower edge of the structure.
5. We attach the cardan to the gearshift lever.
6. Then we proceed as when replacing the rocker seal and put everything back together.

Replacing the backstage with a short-stroke one

CLARIFICATION! The essence of this procedure is that reducing the stroke is achieved by changing the length of the pressure lever. The action we performed is aimed at reducing the shift lever on our side, by increasing it on the side of the box.

If you carry out the modernization using this “makeshift” method, you will not have to remove the standard rocker.

Price issue

If you decide to replace the rocker seal at the same time as installing the rocker itself, this can be considered absolutely the right thing to do. Additionally, replacing the driveshaft will not cost much, but the efficiency of such a comprehensive repair will be much higher.

Short walker

Actions on your own, you only have to purchase the necessary parts and ordinary consumables. If you contact a car service, the minimum cost of the service will be 800-1000 rubles. That is, the savings are obvious.

The curtain itself costs about 400 rubles. From here it becomes clear why we did not advise buying a repair kit, but rather completely replacing the part. There will be no savings as such, but the difference as a result of the repair will be significant.

Installing a shop short-throw rocker on a VAZ 2114

If you purchased a ready-made unit, but don’t know how to change the rocker on a VAZ 2114, you just need to follow these steps one by one:

1. Remove the decorative casing.
2. We put the car in a pit or lift it on a jack.

IMPORTANT! Do not forget about safety precautions; place a support under the rear wheel on the opposite side of the jack, or under diagonally opposite front and rear wheels when working in a hole.

1. We dismantle the console hiding the backstage.
2. We twist four bolts (they are at “13” and there are six of them).
3. You will have to cut off the upper ones and look for a spanner wrench and make an analogue of a power lever for it.
4. Pull off the boot and remove the clamp.

IMPORTANT! Changing the rocker is the ideal time to replace such components as the cardan, hinge, and oil seal. They are very short-lived, so if you are changing the rocker itself, change the accompanying units to delay the next meeting with the bottom of your car as far as possible.

1. We put a new stage in place of the dismantled “old” one.
2. We assemble the entire assembly in reverse order.

Replacing the backstage

How to replace the universal joint on a VAZ 2110-VAZ 2112?

It is possible to remove this hinge only on an overpass, inspection hole, or if you raise the car, because this hinge is located under the bottom and you will need to crawl under it to unscrew both bolts that secure it!

1) At the beginning, as you already understood, you will need to crawl under the car, after that, look for the boot there (Indicated by the arrow) and the hinge itself, which is located under this boot, so after that, take two keys in your hands and with one holding the bolt from turning, loosen slightly tighten the nut of this bolt as shown in the figure, and after the clamp nut is loosened, grab the rod with your hand and remove it from the hinge as shown in the small figure.

Before you start unscrewing the nut of the tie rod bolt, drag the boot towards the box so that it does not interfere, and after you disconnect the link, drag the boot towards it and thereby completely remove it from the car!

2) Now you will need to unscrew another bolt that secures the hinge in the front part to the gear selector rod, so after this bolt is unscrewed, you can pull the hinge and calmly remove it from the place where it is installed.

When you install the new joint, you will need to get these bolts into the hole in the gear selector rod, so remember approximately where this bolt is located after installing the new joint in the same place and screw it in so that it fits into the hole in the gear selector rod!

Installing a new hinge is carried out in the reverse order of removal, but only when you install the hinge will the linkage necessarily need to be adjusted, otherwise the gears will not engage clearly and instead of, for example, first gear as mentioned earlier, the reverse gear may easily engage. (For information on how to adjust the rocker, see the article entitled: “Replacing the rocker on a VAZ”)

If you want to study in more detail how the hinge is removed and installed, then watch the video below that clearly shows everything:

I had this driveshaft from a viburnum, and it came to the point that I won’t be able to install it again due to the fact that it transmits all the vibration to the gearshift knob, which is why it constantly cracks.

On VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ-21099, VAZ-2110 cars, there is a lot of play in the gearbox and, as a result, unclear gear shifting is not uncommon. We can say that this is a disease or a lack of cars of these brands. And the reason for this “illness”, first of all, lies in the original gearbox driveshaft. If you are interested in how to eliminate this drawback, reduce play in the rocker and increase the comfort of gear shifting on your “eight”, “nine” or “99”, then read the article further...

Adjusting QC

If you manage to replace the unit yourself, then it makes no sense to contact a specialist to adjust it. True, it will be very difficult to do this yourself; it is better to ask someone you know.

There are two methods for setting up a freshly installed rocker:

1. In reverse gear, we put a friend behind the wheel and ask him to engage reverse gear. We install the lever in the most convenient position, in your opinion, and climb under the car, where we put the lever in place of the reverse gear and tighten the clamp.
2. In first gear - if you can’t get the rear one in, put in the first one. We loosen the clamp as in the first case, but this time we must turn the drive, this must be done so that it reaches counterclockwise until the stop of the plastic clamp, after which we fix the clamp.

In conclusion

Now you know how to replace the short-stroke linkage and understand that it is within your power. The main thing is to be patient and the convenience of a short gearbox will appear in your car.

Published April 11, 2018

A problem with the lever when changing gears is sometimes found among domestically produced cars. Unfortunately, the VAZ 2115 is no exception. The most likely cause is a broken linkage. Of course, any problem can be fixed at a car service center. but the operation of this part can be adjusted independently. In this article we will talk about adjusting the VAZ 2115 rocker panels, what types of rocker panels exist and why it is important to know about it.

Signs of breakdown

In fact, it is not difficult to determine that the backstage is the culprit of all the troubles. After all, there are a number of characteristic signs that indicate this.

You can prepare to work on adjusting or replacing the rocker if:

• The first gear does not want to stubbornly engage or disengage, or move to another position;
• When you engage first gear, initially the gearshift knob behaves normally, but then the box spontaneously jumps into reverse gear;
• You cannot engage first and/or fifth gear, while changing to other speeds is no problem.

At the first sign of a problem, you should go to a service station or your own garage to have the problem repaired.

Varieties of backstage

All existing models can be divided into two large groups: long-stroke and short-stroke. Within these groups, various designs with their own characteristic features are allowed.

• Long-stroke scenes are usually called standard. These are the parts that the manufacturer installs on various VAZ models (from 2109 onwards).
• Short-travel rockers are more common in Kalina cars. However, the design of both parts is very similar.

What then is the difference between these devices? It's their size. The short-stroke rocker is smaller, so its big advantage is the convenient lever travel. Gear shifts with higher precision. Perhaps the most serious drawback of this device is its price. As a rule, a short-stroke link costs much more than a long-stroke one. In addition, some car owners note that after replacing a standard part with a short-stroke one, they have to use more force to change gear. So, how to adjust the rocker on a VAZ 2115?

This procedure can be carried out using the following simple steps:

1. The nut located on the clamp needs to be loosened.
2. Adjust the position of the lever - move it to the reverse speed position, and then tighten the nut on the clamp.
3. Check how the gears are engaged: if the reverse gear has moved too far to the left, you need to loosen the clamp a little and smoothly turn the cardan counterclockwise. If the speed goes to the right, the cardan must be rotated clockwise.

How to check whether the adjustment was carried out correctly? To do this, the lever must be installed in the center. If the transmission is in neutral, then everything was done correctly.

Important reminder: The lever must be positioned so that it can move freely without impacting the passenger seat (in fifth gear) or the driver seat (in reverse). Otherwise, the lever must be readjusted.

The cardan installed by the manufacturer on the VAZ 2115 is characterized by small backlashes. To get rid of the associated vagueness in switching, you simply need to replace the “native” part with a cardan from Kalina. The experience of many motorists shows that it is more reliable and can last much longer than the standard one. It is worth considering that the Kalinovsky cardan is slightly longer than the standard one. For this reason, it must be shortened before installation. For this procedure you will need the following equipment: a grinder, a clamp, tape and a grinding tool. And, of course, it is important not to forget to first remove the “native” cardan. How to make the driveshaft from Kalina shorter:

• Compare the sizes of the standard and Kalinovsky universal joints, and wrap the part that needs to be cut with tape.
• Install the cardan into the clamp and get rid of the excess length using a grinder.
• Go over the finished part with a sanding tool. This will make it easier to install.

The following are the steps on how to install a prepared cardan on a VAZ 2115:

1. Check how accurately the cutting was done - to do this, the part must be inserted into the hole allocated for it. If the cardan fits in without problems, then the trimming was completed successfully.
2. Install the backstage boot.
3. Place the newly shortened cardan and secure it with a wrench.
4. Pull the previously installed boot completely onto the cardan.

It is important to remember that the oil seal may also need to be replaced. So during the process of replacing the cardan, it is worth inspecting the oil seal for damage.

Is it difficult to change the slide yourself?

In order for the short-stroke rocker to feel the beauty of the absence of play and vibration in the lever, it must be installed correctly. If the installation is carried out in a car service center, you don’t have to worry, but if you replace it yourself, you should take this with full responsibility. The whole procedure is reminiscent of replacing the rocker seal - almost half of car owners face this operation. The need to replace the oil seal is very eloquently indicated by the characteristic crunch that is constantly present when switching gears.

If we analyze the process of self-installation of a short-stroke rocker in more detail, we can highlight the following main stages of work.

1. The interior cover of the lever along with the handle is removed with a simple sharp jerk upward.
2. Using a 13 key, the clamp is loosened and the lever rod is removed from the propeller shaft.
3. The reverse speed locking ball is released, for which you will need to remove the ring blocking it.
4. The retaining ring and lever are removed along with the ball and spring, located in a separate housing.
5. Now it will be possible to remove the lever along with the rod through the interior. If necessary, they can be previously disconnected.
6. Next, the cardan is removed, from which the boot is first pulled off and the bolt located on the left side is unscrewed.
7. The new cardan is lubricated with lithol; when tightening the fastening, you should not be too zealous.
8. The rod is also mounted from the interior. It will be much more convenient to carry out this work together.

Further assembly is also not difficult. The rod is put on the cardan rod, after which it will be necessary to assemble the reverse gear locking mechanism. It is better to lubricate its ball first. After this, before the final tightening of the mounting clamp, the final adjustment of the lever and the reverse gear locking system is carried out - in some cases the mechanism often does not coincide with the plate, then it will have to be removed and the existing hook adjusted. The process of installing a short-throw rocker on a Priora can be seen in the video:

Most car owners who, for one reason or another, decide to replace the standard linkage with a short-throw one, remain satisfied with the speed and clarity of gear shifting

If we take into account the very low cost of such an upgrade, which can also be done with your own hands, the advantages of a short-stroke rocker increase

Even if the driver does not particularly care how long it takes to engage the gear, the almost complete absence of extraneous noise and play is inevitably noted by every driver

Replacing the universal joint

Most often, faults occur in the cardan, and not in the rocker itself, so it is this that needs to be replaced. Even the slightest displacement of the cardan can cause failures in the entire gear shift mechanism.

1. Step 1. Release the clamp on the drive rod and pull it off the rod.
2. Step 2. Remove the boot and knock down the cardan. This must be done carefully, with light blows of a hammer. If cuts or other damage is found on the boot, it is best to replace it with a new one.
3. Step 3. Install the new universal joint. In this case, you need to do all the steps in reverse order, but do not tighten the clamp. After this, you need to adjust the system (the sequence of actions is described in the corresponding subtitle of the article).

In this guide, we talked in detail about adjusting the shift link on the VAZ 2115, listed the types of this part, suggested how it can be modified, and also described the process of replacing the gear shift link.

Frequent breakdowns of the scenes

A breakdown of the rocker in a VAZ-2110 is accompanied by the following main symptoms:

1. A faulty gear lever play means that the part cannot be repaired, only replaced.
2. If you hear a ringing in the wings, then perhaps the VAZ-2110 has a built-in part with a manufacturing defect. Sometimes the ringing appears after repair work has been carried out; you cannot leave the car in this condition; the mistakes made will have to be sorted out and corrected.
3. If the driver notices that the speed is turned on poorly, use one of the following solutions to the problem - try to repair the rocker, or maybe it’s better to replace it right away.
4. When reverse gear turns on instead of first speed, the problem is absolutely not in the rocker; the real cause of the breakdown will still have to be determined.
5. Does the gearbox lever vibrate very much while the car is moving? This means that there is significant play inside the gearbox knob hinges.

Varieties of backstage

Despite the different design models, only two types can be distinguished:

1. Long-stroke (standard, previously installed on cars of model 2109 and similar).
2. Short-wheel drive (installed on Kalina cars).

Structurally they are very similar, only different in size. The advantage of short-throw ones is that with their help, gears are engaged easier and faster.

True, many myths have formed around the gear shift: some claim that the dynamic characteristics of the car are significantly improved. This is all wrong; there is no connection between the dynamics of the car and the view of the backstage. But still, the short-stroke one has advantages over the standard one.

Replacement instructions

Before starting work, we advise you not only to purchase a new spare part, but also to watch training videos on replacing the slide. The procedure is not very complicated, but a visual aid will never be superfluous. Especially if you do not have much experience in repairing a car and transmission in particular.

Replacement procedure

The process involves performing several sequential steps.

1. Remove the housing from your gear shift knob.
2. Raise the car using a jack. In some cases, an inspection hole will do, if you have one in your garage.
3. Now you should dismantle the console, which will give you access to the backstage.
4. The element is held in place by six bolts, which can be removed using a regular 13 mm wrench.
5. But it's not that simple. You won’t be able to unscrew the top two bolts with a wrench, so don’t even try. They are specially planted as tightly as possible, so to dismantle them you simply need to cut them down with a grinder.
6. Now you can safely remove the remaining two bolts in the lower fastening of the rocker, for which your effort and a 13 key will definitely be enough.
7. The next step is to remove the clamp and move the boot. You will need to remove the hinge. At the same time as replacing the link, we recommend changing the hinge. It would be a good idea to replace the oil seal and cardan shaft. These elements have a limited service life, and since you decide to change the slide itself, there are objective reasons to do everything as efficiently as possible.
8. After this, install the new unit in place of the old one. Act carefully so that the rubber bands of the slides fall on the welded bolts, which you previously sawed off using a grinder.
9. The assembly is now reassembled, operating in the opposite sequence to disassembly. It is not necessary to seat the top mounting bolts tightly, but try to tighten them firmly.

There is no fundamental difference between the two types of units. The advantage of a short-throw is that it provides faster gear changes for a fraction of a second.

Do not believe those who claim that a short walk has a positive effect on dynamics. There is no connection between the rocker and the dynamics of the car. But the short walk has its advantages.

Replacement kit

Why change the backstage

There are situations when it is necessary to intervene in the gear shift mechanism due to the failure of a component. But there are cases when an extreme measure is required - replacing the VAZ-2109, 2114 rocker.

In these cases, replacement is required:

1. An oil leak appeared due to damage to the oil seal. Only the oil seal can be replaced.
2. Complete failure of the scenes.
3. You have realized the advantages of a short-stroke design and you have the funds for this kind of tuning.

Symptoms of gear shift mechanism failure:

1. Increased gearshift lever play. Please note that this behavior may also be caused by a loose cardan. Sometimes the bolt securing it gets screwed out, so to reduce the backlash it is enough to tighten it, and first apply a drop of thread locker.
2. Difficult to shift into gear. Sometimes extraneous sounds are heard.
3. Gear shifting is not possible.
4. Inconsistency between the position of the lever and the selected speed. For example, the back one disappears, and the first one is in its place.

If a slight play appears, it is advisable to carry out diagnostics and identify the breakdown of the unit. Make repairs immediately, otherwise one or more speeds will disappear at the most inopportune moment.

If you detect an oil leak from the gearbox, carefully inspect the crankcase. The leak will reveal itself. Lubricant usually leaks out through the CV joint seals and rocker panels.

In the latter case, to replace you will need to perform a number of actions:

1. Purchase a new gearbox seal for VAZ-2109, 2114. Its price is about 100 -200 rubles.
2. Drain the oil completely from the gearbox by unscrewing the plug from the bottom using the key “17”. If necessary, you can replace the lubricant later. It is recommended to pull out the upper dipstick to facilitate oil drainage.
3. Disconnect the cardan from the rocker arm.
4. Remove the boot, use a 10mm wrench to unscrew the bolt securing it to the gearbox rod.
5. Using an awl or a thin screwdriver, remove the old oil seal. Inspect it for damage.
6. Install the new oil seal using a pipe or large washer to press in.

After replacement, install the boot. Assess the condition of the cardan: if it has too much play, it will need replacement. After carrying out all the work, be sure to check that the speeds are turned on correctly.

In most cases, it is not the rocker itself that fails, but the cardan. Due to its displacement, even a small one, a failure occurs in the gear shift mechanism.

Standard VAZ-2109,2114 scenes are rarely installed during repairs; similar parts from Lada Kalina are used. The replacement looks like this:

1. Using two keys set to “13”, unscrew the clamp securing the cardan to the rod.
2. Using a screwdriver, pull the boot towards the box housing. If desired, you can remove it completely, and if it has cuts or other damage, replace it with a new one.
3. Unscrew the fixing bolt with a “10” key.
4. Knock down the cardan with a hammer, strike carefully so as not to damage anything.
5. The Kalinovsky universal joint is much more durable and reliable, so install it instead of the standard one.
6. Reassemble the entire structure in reverse order. But do not rush to tighten the bolt on the clamp - adjustment is necessary.

Lada 2115 “inconspicuous” › Logbook › #14. Kalino cardan.

The topic is not new, but maybe someone has not come across it, maybe someone will find it useful. There are legends about the benefits of the Kalinovsky cardan. This is a popular modification, which consists of installing a backlash-free cardan from Kalina on the VAZ 2113/14/15, which is installed on the gearbox linkage. Since the cardan is a hinge without play, it helps to reduce the lateral travel of the lever, and the clarity of gear engagement also increases. For a long time I was tormented by the rattling of the gearshift knob. File off a few millimeters on the handle sleeve

Removed the problem for literally a month. It was decided to install this “magic” Kalinovsky cardan.

I didn’t install it myself ( not because I’m a quitter, but because it’s already cold in the garage, and there’s no hole, and I don’t want to do it outside on an overpass

), but I took it to a friend at a service station, but I literally helped =) I only bought the driveshaft, since the boot turned out to be absolutely intact.

The correct name for the cardan shaft from Lada Kalina is: Gearbox control drive rod joint (without backlash). Catalog number 1118-1703160.

In common parlance - a glass.

So that the post is not empty, I’m posting information from the Internet about replacing it. We buy the driveshaft itself from the viburnum. Next, we saw off 10 mm from it (if you don’t saw off and leave it as is, the gearshift lever will move closer to the rear passengers). In fact, everything worked out fine for me. and without shortening. Next, we jump into the hole, or simply climb under the car, taking with us the keys for 10 and 13. We see this thing - this is the universal joint, which we will change to a Kalinovsky one

Move the rubber boot to the box

We loosen the coupling bolt of the clamp by 13, slightly unclench the clamp and pull the link off the cardan. Then unscrew the 10mm bolt that secures the cardan on the gear selector rod and remove the cardan.

Everything is ready to install the Kalinovsky cardan

We put a new cardan on the gear selector rod and secure it there with a 10-point bolt. It is advisable to coat this bolt with thread locker so that it does not turn away from vibration.

After that, we pull the boot into place, put on the drawstring and adjust it. We tighten the clamp and make a test drive. If everything is satisfactory, tighten the clamp thoroughly.

And now personal feelings:

The speeds are switched on very softly, as on foreign cars, the rattling has not completely gone away, but has dropped to almost 0 (we will look for other reasons). In general, only positive emotions.

In general, if you thought about it, but didn’t dare, definitely give it a go – it’s worth it!

Backstage adjustment

There is nothing complicated in the procedure; you can do it yourself, but you will have to run from the pit to the salon.

Yes, it is advisable to do this work in a pit or overpass. You need to act approximately according to this principle:

1. Loosen the nut on the clamp.
2. Set the gearshift lever to the reverse gear position.
3. Set the box rod to the reverse speed position. This is difficult to achieve, so adjustments will have to be made.
4. Check how the gears shift. If the rear one is too far to the left, loosen the clamp and turn the cardan counterclockwise. If the fifth speed (including reverse) has gone too far to the right, then the cardan rotates clockwise.

By adjusting the position of the gearshift rocker, you will notice that when the lever is installed in the middle, neutral speed will be engaged. When turning on the fifth gear, the lever should not catch the passenger seat, and when moving in reverse, the driver's seat should not interfere with the movement of the lever.

Adjustment

The backstage adjustment should be made in several cases:

• after dismantling the gearbox;
• when the cardan has been replaced or the fixing clamps have become loose;
• if the linkage rotates on the hinge.

Of course, this will also be advisable if you have recorded signs of a malfunction of the element, which are described in the previous paragraph.

What to cook?

Before you begin repairs, prepare in advance:

• wrench to loosen the clamp;
• wheel chocks or bricks.

Universal wrench

You will need wheel chocks...

...or the most ordinary bricks

Step by step instructions

To perform repairs, that is, adjustments, you need to perform the following steps:

1. First, drive your VAZ 2110 into a garage with a pit or onto an overpass.
2. Place bricks or special wheel chocks under the car. Apply the handbrake.
3. Climb under the bottom of the car and find the clamp that secures the linkage and hinge.
4. Use a wrench to loosen the clamp.
5. Then sit in the driver's seat and put the car into reverse. Remember that the lever must be in the extreme left position. Therefore, set it the way you think it should ideally be when engaging reverse gear. It is advisable to do this work with an assistant so that he holds the gearbox lever in the position you set it.
