Adjusting the rocker according to the rear speed of the Prior

Installation of a short-stroke rocker on a Lada Priora

Previously, we have already reviewed the installation of a short-stroke rocker on a VAZ 2109, so here there will be no information about what it is and what the benefits of this part are, we will talk about its installation.

Gear shift setting for VAZ 2110

If you do not have a plastic stopper, the adjustment is made in neutral gear.
None If adjusting the rocker does not lead to anything and there is still a problem with switching, replace the rocker completely or ask for help from specialists.

Problems with adjusting the gearbox linkage lead to the appearance of unnecessary sounds and overtones while driving, “knocking out” speeds, the appearance of play in the gearshift lever, and an increased risk of gearbox failure. All this is both inconvenient and simply dangerous on the road, and therefore work on adjusting the gearbox linkage must be carried out when the first signs of imbalance appear. Moreover, you can do this yourself, and all you have is a free half hour and an assistant.

The work is carried out on a viewing hole or a lift (with the handbrake engaged and using wheel chocks, of course). If there is no inspection hole or overpass, you can adjust the gearbox rocker in the usual way, by lifting the car with a jack.

Short-stroke link for classics

For production in this case you will need:

a piece of pipe with a diameter of fifteen millimeters;
nut from a classic ball nut;
RPP from 2108;
backstage repair kit 2108 (axle and two bushings);
cardan from the steering mechanism 2104, 2105 or 2107.

The work is performed as follows:

The ball from the bottom is cut off from the RPP;
The lower part is sawed off so that a pipe can be inserted into it and scalded;
The nut is welded to the pipe from below;
The ball is placed in a convenient place;
The cardan is attached to the gearshift lever.

The described process is illustrated by the following photographs:

One of the main parts will be a cardan from Kalina, which will help avoid play in the lever.

Next you need to complete the modification, as shown in the photographs:

Then two pieces of metal are welded

After finishing the work, you need to clean all the seams and paint them in the desired color.

The short-throw shifter, which you install yourself on many VAZ car models, has its pros and cons, but it allows you to reduce gear shifting time and makes it easier to control the car. Whether to do it or not is everyone’s personal choice, but it cannot be denied that such a modification is perceived by many as necessary and useful.

Algorithm for installing a short-stroke rocker on a Lada Priora

To gain access to the bolts, the decorative cover must be removed from the knob box lever. The latter is not secured to the lever in any way; to remove it, it will be enough to pull strongly.

How to install a short-throw rocker on a Lada Priora

We dismantle the gearbox lever rod from the cardan by loosening the clamp using a key set to “13”.

Installing a Lada Priora short-stroke rocker yourself

To gain access to the lever, you must release the ball that blocks the engagement of reverse gear, which springs when engaged. Be careful! Do not pull the lever to get it released.

The retaining ring is removed, then you need to remove the lever with the ball and spring inserted into the plastic case.

Remove the lever with the rod through the interior. To make it more convenient, they can be separated.

Remove the cardan. To do this, tighten the rubber boot with a “10” key. Then you need to unscrew the bolt that secures the cardan on the left side.

Attention!

If you first assemble the reverse gear locking mechanism, the long rod will not allow you to put the rod on the cardan shaft. The problem can be solved by shortening it. It is important not to forget to put the boot on the driveshaft.

Adjust the reverse gear locking mechanism, since the consequence of adjusting the scenes is that the mechanism does not match the plate to which it clings. The problem can be solved by removing the plate and adjusting the hook (it is a cutout on the mounting bracket). You can sharpen it with sandpaper or a file.

The photo shows the adjusted toe.

Installation of a short-stroke rocker on a Lada Priora

To complete the procedure, you need to put on a manual transmission cover with a knob.

Installing a short-stroke rocker on a Lada Priora - step-by-step instructions

1. To access the bolts, you need to remove the decorative cover from the box lever along with the knob. The second one is not secured to the lever in any way, so to remove it you just need to pull it hard.

2. Then you need to remove the gearshift lever rod from the cardan; to do this, first loosen the clamp with a key set to “13”.

3. Before releasing the lever, you need to release the reverse gear locking ball, the one that springs when engaged. To do this you need to remove the locking ring.

Attention! Do not pull up on the lever to release it.

4. Remove the lock and lever along with the ball and spring, which are inserted into the plastic housing.

5. We take out the lever together with the rod through the interior; for convenience, you can disconnect the lever from the rod, although you don’t have to do this.

6. Remove the cardan. First of all, you need to pull off the rubber boot, then using a “10” wrench, unscrew the fastening bolt on the left side of the cardan.

7. As you can see in the photo, the cardan rods differ in length. The problem is solved by shortening the Kalinovsky rod; this must be done taking into account the type of short-stroke link. In some cases, the rod may not go in completely, as a result the gearbox lever will move towards the handbrake. If you also need to shorten, then know that you need to cut off about 1-2 cm.

8. So, we install the “Kalinovsky” cardan, having previously lubricated it with lithol from the inside. The bolt screws in easily because it has a cone shape, but do not overtighten.

9. Traction is also installed through the interior. It’s more convenient to do this in pairs with an assistant: one holds it by the elastic band in the cabin, and you carefully pull the traction.

Now assembly. It is produced in the following sequence

Place the rod on the cardan shaft.
Next, assemble the reverse gear locking mechanism. Lubricate the spring ball.
We adjust the gearshift lever.
Now tighten the clamp on the rod.

Install the Kalinovsky cardan by applying lithol to its inner surface. Since the bolt is cone-shaped, screwing in is not difficult.

The thrust should be installed through the interior. It's good if you have an assistant nearby. He will hold it by the elastic band in the cabin, at this time you need to stretch the traction.

Assembly is performed in reverse order

First, we put the rod on the cardan shaft.
Then you can begin assembling the reverse gear locking mechanism. Lubricate the spring ball.
Adjust the gearshift lever.
Tighten the clamp on the rod.

How to replace and adjust the rocker on a VAZ 2110-VAZ 2112?

Backstage adjustment:

Note! Before you go to the auto store and buy a new rocker, be sure to try to adjust the old one first so as not to waste money, maybe everything is fine with the old rocker!

1) At the very beginning of the operation, we will tell you why the adjustment of the rocker may go wrong, namely, after removing the box, after replacing the cardan shaft, or after unscrewing the nuts and bolts that secure the tension clamps of the rods that come from the rocker, and in other cases.

2) Now let’s move on to the actual adjustments, firstly, you will need to first drive the car into a pit or lift it using a lift, then climb under the bottom of the car and there you will find the boot under which the driveshaft itself is located (the boot is indicated by a red arrow), next to with this cardan and the boot that covers it, the end of the rod coming from the rocker itself will be attached, and this end will be attached using a tie clamp, so take two screwdrivers in your hands and with their help loosen the bolt nut a little (the nut is indicated by a blue arrow, and the bolt green), while when you loosen, hold the bolt itself with one wrench so that it does not turn, and with the other at this time loosen the nut, after the nut is slightly loosened, take a screwdriver in your hands and insert it into two holes, namely in the hole between the tie clamp (Indicated by a yellow arrow) and into the hole of the rod itself (Indicated by a white arrow), thereby widening both holes (In fact, these are not holes but a groove, so in the future we will use this word) so that the link rod can easily move relative to gear selector rod.

Causes

The reasons why reverse gear engagement is poor or difficult may be as follows:

loosening of the fastening clamp of the rocker, due to which the length of the rod is not enough to fully engage the gear;
jamming of the reverse speed lock;
spring breakage and debris getting into the guide grooves of the gear selection mechanism;
spontaneous loosening of the selection mechanism mounting bolts;
the clamp bolt is cut off;
wear of the clutch disc and release bearing;
incorrect adjustment of the clutch and clutch pedal;
low oil level in the box or the need to replace it.

What is a short-stroke gearbox?

Here it is necessary to explain what the inconvenience is. Most often it affects VAZ owners with a manual transmission - not only old models 2107, 2106, 2108, 2109, but also more modern 2110, 2112, 2115, 2114. And it consists in too much time spent on gear shifting and the need for increased efforts to fix them. The reason for this is the non-optimal shape of the scenes, which is why such inconveniences arise.

Race car drivers were the first to encounter them; a lot depends on their gear shift time, and they try to minimize it. So they were the first to use a short-stroke rocker (SC), which allowed them to circumvent this drawback. And then a similar innovation spread to ordinary cars. For a better understanding of the subject of discussion, the photo shows a similar part for switching the gearbox of a VAZ 2108 car.
