Replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2112 16 valves with your own hands

Installation

The hardest part is probably behind us. But the work cannot be considered complete. Installing a new cable does not involve complex processes, but then you will need to reassemble the entire structure, adjust the clutch and check its operation. Installation is performed as follows:

• Immediately before installation, remove the bushing from the pedal pin to check for integrity. As noted earlier, if it is damaged, the element must be replaced;

The fastening of the new cable is carried out in accordance with the dismantling, only all processes are carried out in the reverse order;

• The end of the cable is inserted through the passenger compartment into the engine compartment, after which it is fixed to the clutch pedal of the car;
• Next, the cable together with the shift fork is hooked and led to the mounting bracket on the gearbox, where fixation occurs;
• The pedal travel is checked, which should be about 13 centimeters from the floor. We will tell you about clutch adjustment separately, in specially prepared material.

Well, at this point the cable replacement can be considered complete. It has certain difficulties, but with the right approach you can easily cope with the work on your own.

Be sure to study the instructions in the instruction manual, watch video tutorials, and also get a high-quality new element. Only with a combination of all these factors will you be able to achieve the desired result and save an impressive amount of money on the services of specialists from service stations. Loading …

Replacing the clutch cable on a VAZ 2110 on your own

Clutch cable VAZ 2110 and its replacement

Usually the clutch cable breaks when the vehicle is operated in extreme conditions. Most often, a similar problem occurs with “old” cars that are in use all year round. If such a problem occurs, you can try to carry out a process called replacing the VAZ 2110 clutch cable yourself. To perform these actions, it is not necessary to use special knowledge and it is not necessary to have a professional tool. In order for the replacement of the clutch cable in a VAZ 2110 to be successful, basic information will be enough.

What will you need?

Another positive quality of the cable drive is the ease of replacement. The whole operation takes about 20 minutes, even for a novice VAZ car owner. Moreover, everything can be done even in the field, with a small number of tools at hand.

For example, let's look at how to replace the clutch cable on a VAZ-2110, and in order to do everything you will need:

• 2 keys for 19;
• 2 keys for 8 and 10;
• Crosshead screwdriver;
• New cable.

All this is enough to carry out the work.

To make it clearer, look at the VAZ 2110 clutch drive diagram.

We take into account the necessary nuances when replacing

Replacing the clutch cable on a VAZ 2110

Typically, the process of changing the clutch cable on VAZ 2110 cars should begin from the engine compartment . You need to simultaneously hold the fork and pull the cable, which is removed from the fork. Next, you need to release or remove the cable fastening from the bracket located on the gearbox. After such actions, they move into the car interior and continue to remove the damaged element. When performing repair work, you need to take into account all the nuances, since safety on the road will depend on the quality of the replacement part.

Note! If the VAZ 2110 car belongs to the “pilot-industrial” batch, then the bracket will be fastened in the form of a bolt with a head for a Phillips screwdriver. To remove such a bolt, a simple screwdriver will not work; you will need a special shortened one.

VAZ 2110 clutch cable replacement

In situations where the cable breaks along the way, you can unscrew the fastening with a regular tool, but this operation will have to be performed through an open safety block. In the future, it is recommended to replace this bolt with a more suitable one, which has a head for a wrench. Since a breakdown can happen at the most inopportune moment, the car must have a set of necessary devices.

When the throttle cable needs to be replaced

How to find the moment when the VAZ-2110 throttle cable requires replacement? Experts advise paying special attention to the following points when operating this vehicle part:

• there is no ability to regulate the throttle valve drive;
• when pressing the gas pedal, the damper does not have the right to open and close completely;
• the iron part of the cable began to “shag” (this should be noted visually when checking the internal parts of the car);
• When the throttle valve is operating, the gas cable constantly gets stuck.

If you find one of the problems mentioned above while operating your vehicle, you must immediately purchase a new cable for the throttle valve and replace it.

Purpose of the cable and its place in the device

VAZ 2112 cars have a mechanical drive; it is installed on passenger cars of the VAZ family and not only, which are equipped with low-power power units. This type of drive compares favorably with others due to its very simple design and low cost of production. In addition, the mechanical drive is easy to repair and maintain because it contains a minimum number of necessary elements, see photo below:

• As can be seen from the diagram, the main element of the mechanical drive is represented by a flexible cable enclosed in a shell
• The clutch pedal is located inside the car and is connected to the lever (clutch fork) through a flexible cable.
• At the junction of the fork and the cable there is an adjustment device, which is designed to regulate the free play of the pedal
• The operation of the drive is incredibly simple: the driver presses the pedal
• This sets the VAZ 2112 clutch cable in motion, which pulls the lever device
• This device (fork) moves the release bearing along the guide
• The release bearing presses on the legs (petals) of the basket
• Thus, the clutch is disengaged

Replacing the cable

Replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2110

Replacing the clutch cable on a VAZ 2110 will take a minimum amount of time, this applies even to novice drivers. Based on the technical documents on the use and repair of the car, it is recommended to detach the windshield wiper with frill from the VAZ during the work process. Of course, if you need to save time, you can do the work without removing parts, but most specialists do this because the process of fixing the cable to the clutch pedal is relatively simplified. So:

• At the first stage, you need to remove the old or damaged element; in this case, you need to get rid of the cable. It is pulled out from the fastening bracket, which is located on the gearbox.
• Using two 19-size wrenches, you need to unscrew the cable fastening nuts in the bracket itself, as a result its tension is weakened, and the cable is easily removed from the fasteners.
• At the next stage, the cable is removed from its fastening in the clutch activation fork. To perform such actions, you need to hold the fork and at the same time release the cable.

Replacing the clutch cable on a VAZ 2110

• It is detached from the clutch pedal.
• If the windshield wiper frill has already been removed, you can easily get to the protective cover on the clutch pedal; it is located not far from the brake vacuum booster.
• The fastening screw of the pedal housing is unscrewed with a short Phillips screwdriver, after which the housing is easily removed.

Replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2110 is easy

• Using a screwdriver, hook up the locking bracket that holds the cable head to the clutch pedal. This bracket is removed along with the cable.
• If the frill with the windshield wiper has not yet been removed, you will need to remove the locking bracket from the interior. To do this, you need to raise the clutch pedal all the way and remove the bracket, and then the clutch cable itself.

Note. It should be noted right away that this is the most difficult process in replacing a cable. This is explained not only by the complexity of the procedure for removing the locking bracket, but also by the fact that this will need to be done in an awkward position. In addition, when removing the locking bracket, you cannot do without using an 8 key, which is used to unscrew the support plate, pulling it into the interior.

Installing a new cable

How to replace the clutch cable of a VAZ 2110

• Before installing a new cable, the bushing on which the cable is placed must be removed from the clutch pedal pin and inspected for integrity. If the bushing is severely worn, it needs to be replaced.
• The new cable is installed in the reverse order. Its end is pushed from the passenger compartment into the engine compartment, after which it is attached to the pedal. After this, the cable with the shift fork is engaged and secured in the mounting bracket on the gearbox.

Device

On modern cars, the clutch fork is hydraulically actuated. The clutch master and slave cylinders are engaged. On the VAZ-2110, this fork moves mechanically, using a cable (the same as the accelerator).

• Cable sheath.
• Mounting brackets.
• The lower end of the cable sheath.
• Adjusting nut.
• Cable protective cover.
• Upper tip of the shell.
• Thrust plate.
• Seal.

The entire mechanism is controlled by the clutch pedal. It is suspended on a separate bracket. By pressing it, the driver moves the clutch fork. That, in turn, disconnects the box from the engine flywheel using a basket and a friction disk. After the desired gear is engaged, the pedal moves up under the action of the return spring. The friction disc engages the flywheel. Torque is transmitted to the box and then to the drive wheels. The drive has a fairly simple structure, so owners often do not face the problem of replacing the cable. However, if it is cut off, you will notice it immediately. The gears will not engage normally.

Stages

1. First you need to remove the old one by pulling it out of the mounting bracket, which is located on the box. To do this, you need to unscrew the nuts that secure the cable in the bracket.
2. We loosen its tension.
3. We take it out.
4. We disengage from the fork. Hold it and remove it.
5. Disconnect from the pedal. There are two options here. The first is when the glass cleaner and frill are removed. And the second is when we’re not filming. Frill fastening
6. In the first case, we have comfortable access to the pedal housing, located near the brake booster. Unscrew the screw that secures the housing to the pedal.
7. We remove the casing.
8. Use a screwdriver to pry off the locking bracket that holds the cable head to the pedal pin.
9. Let's take it off.
10. Next, remove it from the pedal.
11. In the second case, you need to get to the locking bracket from the interior.
12. The pedal should be pushed up all the way.
13. We take out the bracket.
14. Remove from the pedal. Note that this is the most difficult stage, primarily due to the fact that you need to contrive to reach it.
15. After removing the locking bracket, you need to unscrew the support plate and then pull it into the car interior.
16. At this point, the process of removing the strictly cable can be considered complete.

After the cable is removed, and before installing a new one, you must carefully inspect the bushing on which the new cable will be placed. If it is very worn, it is better to replace it.

1. The new one is installed in the reverse order.
2. The tip is pushed from the passenger compartment into the compartment where the engine is located, and then we install it on the pedal.
3. We hook it to the fork and fix it in the bracket on the gearbox.

Loosen the nuts Pull it out of the bracket Pull the tip out of the mount Unscrew the casing Remove the casing Lift the bracket Pull out the bracket Pull out the tip Unscrew the plate Take out the plate Pull it into the interior Put a new one

Hi all! We continue to mock the car, and this time we will make the clutch pedal softer and quieter.

I think many owners of tens and other front-wheel drive VAZs have noticed that the clutch pedal becomes tighter over time and a squeak appears. There may be several reasons for this, and I want to talk about the fight against one of them. In search of the cause of the tight pedal and creaking, I took the easy way and first tried to lubricate the cable and boss, which naturally did not bring any effect.

Having eliminated the cable, I moved on. The cause of a tight pedal and squeaking is the friction that occurs between the bushings and the axis of the clutch release fork. This happens because over time the lubricant loses its properties.

The main source of the problem is the lower bushing, since it is metal, and as you know, metal slides without lubrication with great reluctance, with the risk of scuffing, etc.

i.e. with excess friction. The upper bushing is plastic and even without lubrication the axle glides well in it.

This is what these bushings look like.

Thus, the main task is to lubricate the lower bushing. Ideally, you would have to remove the box, replace both bushings with new ones and fill them with fresh grease. But since we have enough more important things to do, throwing away the box in vain was not part of my plans. I decided to implement an improvement that I learned about a long time ago, but as always, I never got around to it.

The essence of the modification is to drill a hole in the plastic bushing of the clutch fork axis, and then lubricate both bushings through this hole.

It all sounds very simple, and in reality the same thing happens. Next in order: We remove the air filter box so that it does not interfere. We find this very bushing. And it is located at the checkpoint, strictly under the thermostat.

We drill a hole in it with a diameter of about three millimeters so that the nose of the syringe can fit through. By the way, in order to reach the bushing, you will need a fairly long drill. You can probably try to drill a short one, but the wiring harness and CO pipes will get in the way. You need to drill until the drill rests on the fork axis.

Then we fill the syringe with oil, I used transmission oil, and slowly pour it into the hole. The oil will not go away quickly, because...

The bushing fits tightly to the axle.

To speed up the process, you can slightly lift the bushing (as far as the latches will allow) by prying it around the perimeter with a screwdriver.

You need quite a lot of oil so that it flows along the axis and properly lubricates the lower bushing. I poured about thirty cubes, there is no need to be afraid of overdoing it, the excess will simply flow out. You can plug the hole using a screw.

If you suddenly need to lubricate the bushings again, this can be done by simply unscrewing the screw.

After the procedure has been completed, we get behind the wheel, squeeze the clutch and almost have time to get upset, because nothing has changed. But We don’t give up, we press the clutch five or ten times again, and on the next press the pedal falls down with less effort and without the nasty squeak.

Conclusions:

After lubrication, I finally got rid of the annoying squeaking noise and the clutch pedal became much softer. The feeling can be compared to replacing the clutch with a new one.

PEACE to everyone, like and share the post with friends

Clutch adjustment is an important part of the job

Clutch pedal adjustment

At the end of the installation process, it is necessary to adjust the pedal travel from the top position to the floor of the machine. The cable should be in the range of 125.5-130 mm. In addition, the position of the clutch pedal is also taken as a reference. This pedal should be located at the same level as the others. To make the adjustment, you need to loosen the nuts on the cable mounting bracket, which is located on the gearbox.

Note! When changing the position of the cable tip using the adjusting nuts, it is necessary to check the amount of pedal travel.

Typically, the pedal travel is checked after replacing the cable; this process is mandatory. Of course, there may be other reasons for checking, for example, wear of the clutch disc lining and much more. One way or another, the pedal travel will be significantly increased.

Note! Based on the manual, it should be noted that on a VAZ 2110 car this figure should be no more than 160 mm. Ideal parameters should be within 120-130 mm.

To measure this parameter, no special devices are needed; this can be done using a regular ruler. As a rule, this procedure can be done independently without outside help and with a minimum amount of knowledge. In order for the pedal adjustment to be carried out correctly, you must follow the instructions for performing the work:

• First, the car must be placed on a level surface with the handbrake (handbrake) on, after which one terminal from the negative contact is removed from the battery.
• To check the distance, place a ruler perpendicular to the pedal and the floor. Measure from the floor to the beginning of the pedal pad. If the stroke distance is more than 160 mm, adjustment is necessary.
• In order to adjust the drive, you need to open the hood of the car and find the metal cable fastening at the bottom. There should be two nuts on this cable. The first fastening nut is unscrewed almost as much as possible, and the second - until the pedal is pressed freely (approximately 120-130 mm).

Note! An increase in stroke can be achieved by loosening the second nut, and vice versa, if you tighten it more, the performance will be significantly lower.

• After these steps, you need to press the pedal all the way three or four times and release it. Next, using a ruler, check the amount of travel from the rubber pad to the floor.
• It is possible that the adjustment will not be perfect the first time, so do not rush to close the hood. After carrying out the actions, the first nut must be tightened all the way to the second.
• At the final stage, the rubber limiting sleeve is moved until it stops in the fork.

Note! If you cannot carry out the process of replacing the cable yourself, it is recommended to watch a training video on the Internet or contact a service station specialist.

After the desired result has been achieved, you need to tighten the two nuts. At this stage, installation and adjustment of the clutch cable is considered complete. It is recommended to watch this video before replacing the clutch cable.

Adjusting the newly installed cable

After the VAZ 2110 clutch cable has been replaced, all that remains is to make its final adjustment, spending about 30 minutes of your personal time. Thus, we ensure comfortable and reliable operation of the VAZ 2110 clutch mechanism.

The degree of tension is adjusted by changing the position of the lower end of the cable fixed in the gearbox bracket. You can navigate by the position of the adjacent pedal. When the adjustment is completed, we check it using a tape measure or ruler.

The pedal travel from its initial position to its stop on the floor should be within 125 mm with an error of 5 mm up or down. If the pedal position does not correspond to the specified recommendations, adjustment should be continued.

When the clutch pedal suddenly falls to the floor, most likely the cable has broken. Replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2112 is easy and even done in several ways. You don’t need any special tools or specialist skills; any driver can replace the VAZ 2112 clutch cable on his own.

Replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2110

The other day, while changing gear, my clutch pedal suddenly dropped. My first thoughts were that either the clutch cable broke or the clutch cable came off the fork. I opened the hood, saw the broken clutch cable and sighed with relief. The fact is that failure of the clutch pedal does not always mean replacing the cable. It happens that the clutch fork breaks, then you need to remove the box and change the fork, and that costs 1000-2000 rubles just for the work. Stupidly, I towed my car home when it was possible to drive without a clutch. I just didn’t know that you could start in first gear and start driving right away. In addition, you can change gears without a clutch; to do this, you need to shift the throttle at the moment of shifting.

The price of a VAZ 2110 clutch cable is approximately 220-280 rubles.

Malfunctions

Any driver experiences an unpleasant feeling when the clutch pedal sinks to the floor. This can happen if the clutch cable breaks; it is also possible that the release fork breaks (this case is discussed in another article). The cable breaks more often on older cars that are used in extreme conditions or all year round.

The cable may become frayed, which affects the smoothness of the pedal and the operation of the clutch. This cable also requires replacement.

If the clutch cable is broken, you can drive your car to the repair site. You need to start the car in first gear and shift while driving. The following situation is possible: the cable broke while the gear was engaged, and the car stalled.

There is a possibility that it will be difficult to engage the neutral position. Then your car won’t even be able to roll off the roadway. The transmission is disengaged by rocking the car forward and backward and disengaging the transmission at the same time. You can jack up one of the wheels and spin it by hand, this will also help.

Even if the cable is not replaced, gear shifting is possible. It is possible to get to the service station, but such driving has a negative impact on the service life of the gearbox.

The cost of the spare part is low, about 300 rubles. The cost of replacing a cable in a car service is 400 rubles.

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.

Lada 2110 Original Style › Logbook › Replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2110

Hello everyone, the other day, while driving into the garage in the evening, my clutch cable broke near the gearbox flag. Fortunately, spare parts for VAZs are available everywhere and always.

This is a tired topic, I think everyone knows how to change it. I will try to focus on a high-quality photo report and problematic issues, maybe it will help beginners.

1) Unscrew the cable on the box:

2) Unscrew the small 10mm bolt on the pedal assembly:

To disconnect the cable itself from the pedal, you can go in two ways: - suffer and try to do it from below, from the passenger compartment (but if you are tall and large, you simply cannot get there); - or remove the wipers, frill, wiper drive and get to the clutch pedal inspection hatch.

I went the second way, which was more normal for me.

4) In the distance you can see the clutch pedal inspection hatch cover:

5) But it’s impossible to get to it, so we remove the wiper drive mechanism (trapezoid)

, which is quite difficult, how to do it and how to pull it out, here is the article remont-vaz2110.ru/zamena-…pecii-stekloochistitelya/ It is secured with two nuts on top, and one hidden bolt on the bottom. Unfasten the rubber fastening of the expansion tank and move it to the side. And there will be this third point (bolt) for attaching the trapezium wipers (link above to the article). The trapezoid itself:

6) The clutch pedal hatch cover itself is secured with two self-tapping screws on the sides (photo from the Internet). Unscrewing is not convenient, be patient:

7) When it is removed, remove the locking plate that holds the cable itself to the pedal:

We check the integrity of the plastic bushing and be sure to lubricate it during further assembly. As far as I understand, there should be a slot, it is not a crack. In all photos it comes with a slot:

9) Pull the cable into the cabin, check the integrity of the seal of the hole in the body:

10) Drop oil into the new hose:

11) Lubricate the eye of the cable that fits onto the pedal through the plastic sleeve with lithol/solidol:

12) We put everything back together exactly the same way we took it apart.

We adjust the tension of the clutch cable on the box flag. To begin with, make sure that the clutch pedal is level with the brake pedal. And then you adjust the nuts in different directions: the clutch will engage earlier or later.

Throttle flushing tens

Often, VAZ 2110 owners confuse a malfunction of the throttle assembly with an ordinary clogged valve. The main symptoms of the latter include:

• when you release the gas pedal, the engine does not immediately switch to low speed;
• the engine is difficult to start in severe frost;
• after starting, the engine vibrates for a few minutes;
• The engine jerks regularly at low crankshaft speeds.

To clean the throttle valve. Carefully remove the plastic decorative trim that covers the top of the engine. Next, disconnect the ventilation system hose and drain the oil from the air pipe. After this, unscrew the cap from the expansion tank and disconnect the fuel tank ventilation hose. Having done this work, we get free access to the throttle valve of the “tens”.

The part itself must be cleaned using aerosol products such as Wynn's or WD-40. The procedure for washing the part should be repeated with a short pause of 15 minutes. At the first stage, we treat the part with an aerosol and wipe it with a damp cloth. The second time, an aerosol is also needed, only you need to wipe the part with a dry piece of cloth. During the cleaning process, it is strictly forbidden to use brushes for working with metal, as they severely damage the surface of the throttle assembly.

When cleaning the throttle valve, you should also pay great attention to the crankcase ventilation duct. This part of the assembly is most susceptible to contamination

To wash the internal channels of the damper itself, unscrew the idle speed sensor. If you find play during the process of dismantling the sensor, then the part should be replaced

You also need to pay attention to the condition of the gasket in the throttle assembly. It's best if you replace it too

Thanks for the info. I just removed the trapeze to install the priors and the motor from the conveyor. And then the cable just needs to be changed)))

I'm glad it was useful to someone)

Thanks for the advice, I changed it today, although I tinkered with this bolt in the cabin for half an hour)) only I had it on 8)

the second normal method?)) for the first time I see so much crap!

It's easier and more convenient for me. I'll explain why. You didn’t take into account that if you are tall and of large build, then you will crawl under the pedals like a bald man. For example, I’m 185 tall and large, and I simply can’t fit in there. But still, after removing the seat, I climbed in. But it was impossible to unclip the locking plate; it was too tightly clamped. I just couldn’t snap it off; there wasn’t enough room to manipulate it with a screwdriver. I don't know how to remove it. Moreover, snap it back. As a result, after squeezing the torso, both arms, and swearing at everything, I decided to change it as expected. All articles about replacing the clutch cable only reveal this method. And crawling under the pedals is a barbaric method))))) *corrected report

Causes of wear

The main reason for the breakdown of this element is long-term operation of the VAZ 2110 car in poor conditions. For example, a car is stuck in a snowdrift, the driver has to accelerate frequently, which affects the condition of the part. Separately, it should be said about the correct operation of the machine. With a sharp start at high speeds or with regular movement, when your foot is on the clutch pedal, which causes slipping, this is also a wear factor.

Operational reasons are not the only ones. Cable wear may occur earlier than expected due to the following factors:

• low quality cable installation;
• Carrying out repair work with many mistakes;
• ignoring the first signs indicating a breakdown.

Every factor must be taken into account to avoid unexpected damage and expense.

The cable broke on the road, what should I do?

It often happens that the unit breaks down on the road and there is no spare cable at hand. In this case, the vehicle is allowed to move without a clutch due to the presence of synchronizers at the gearbox.

This allows you to change gears while driving without interrupting the transmission of rotation from the engine to the gearbox, although this requires the use of force.

The main thing in such a situation is to start moving from one place. To do this, turn off the engine and engage 1st gear in the gearbox.

Next, we turn on the starter, which is quite capable of starting the engine connected to the transmission, but the start of movement will occur jerkily. And after starting the engine, the jerking will disappear.

Clutchless gear shifting must be done with a restart. That is, they picked up speed, released the accelerator pedal and moved the gear lever to neutral.

Then they sharply increased the engine speed (breathing heavily) and activated the desired speed. But this needs to be done quickly.

When driving with a broken clutch, it is necessary to choose a route with as few stops as possible, since this will require turning off the engine every time and starting driving at speed. And the snack will not withstand this “bullying” for long.

Signs of breakdown

Maintenance of the VAZ 2110 clutch cable must be carried out as soon as the first signs of wear are detected. This is necessary so that the malfunction does not take the driver by surprise. If the clutch cable of a VAZ 2110 car breaks, then the following signs will indicate this.

Mechanism for automatic adjustment of cable length: 1 - spacer sleeve; 2 - plastic body; 3 — clamps; 4 — toothed cable tip.

Clutch cable: 1 — leash; 2 — threaded cable end; 3 — cable protective cover; 4 - nut; 5 — rubber bushing; 6 — washer; 7 — front tip of the cable sheath; 8 - seal; 9 — rear tip of the cable sheath; 10 — cable sheath bracket; 11 — spacer sleeve; 12 — mechanism for automatically adjusting the length of the cable.

1. Stiff pedal. If the driver feels that it has become more difficult to press the pedal, then you should contact a service station. Otherwise, the cable will burst, the pedal will fail and will not return to its original position. As a result, it is impossible to operate transport.
2. Slipping. In other words, independent gear shifting. If the cable is faulty, this is quite likely. If the car is in neutral gear, it can move away.
3. No switching. If the cable is broken, the clutch will not engage, which means the gears will not shift.
4. Other symptoms. For example, there is a leak, then you need to inspect the cable, it is probably torn or disconnected. There may also be jerking, the car jerking forward.

Knowledge of such symptoms of a malfunction will protect the driver from possible emergency situations while driving and will allow you to quickly replace the VAZ 2110 clutch cable with your own hands.

Shifting gears without clutch

Not every driver of a VAZ 2110 imagines how to not only start, but also drive a car without using the clutch pedal. Of course, this skill is very specific, but it can be vitally important when the clutch cable breaks at the most inopportune moment.

The easiest way is to start the car in first gear, first pressing the gas pedal halfway. After turning the ignition, the car will immediately move off with a very noticeable jerk, so be extremely careful when trying to start it this way. Similarly, we turn on the reverse gear.

Driving for a long time in first gear can cause the engine to overheat. If there is a considerable distance to be covered, it is better to learn how to shift higher gears without using the clutch, for which:

• release the gas pedal and, at the moment of least resistance, switch off the gear, moving the transmission lever to the neutral position;
• then engage the next gear, continuing acceleration.

The proposed algorithm for downshifting in the event of a non-working clutch requiring replacement is somewhat different:

• Having switched to neutral gear, we revise the throttle, thereby increasing the speed of the input shaft;
• and only then switch to a lower gear.

Replacing the clutch cable

On a VAZ 2110, replacing the clutch cable is simple; the main thing is that it is recommended to understand the structure of the car and know where the element is located.

How to replace the clutch cable on a VAZ 2110? Repair work must be carried out step by step, as follows.

1. To facilitate access to the element, it is recommended to remove the windshield wiper and frill.
2. There is a locking element on the gearbox from which you need to remove the cable. Use wrenches to loosen the clamp nuts. When the tension is released, the cable can be easily removed.
3. On the clutch release fork, you need to remove the lead of the damaged element.
4. It is necessary to disconnect the part from the clutch pedal. To do this, the casing must be removed using a screwdriver. Here you will need to remove the windshield wiper and frill, if these manipulations have not been performed previously.
5. Using a screwdriver, hook and remove the support bracket, which is a lock and secures the cable head with the clutch.
6. You need to remove the support plate. To do this you will need a 10mm wrench.
7. Having reached the bushing, you need to analyze its condition. If defects are found, the part should be replaced.
8. Now you can install the clutch cable. Manipulations should be carried out in reverse order.

The installation of the new element is complete, but this does not mean that the vehicle is ready for use. The final step is to adjust the clutch pedal.

Clutch pedal adjustment

This procedure is essential for proper operation of the vehicle.

It only takes a few steps to adjust:

• The car must be placed on a flat surface with the hand brake applied;
• Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery;
• You can evaluate the parameters of the clutch stroke using a school ruler, setting it perpendicular to the floor and pedal; if the value is 160 mm or more, then it needs to be adjusted;
• under the hood from below you need to find the place where the cable with the pedal is attached;
• there are 2 nuts at the end, the first one needs to be unscrewed as much as possible, and the second one needs to be tightened to the level of 120 - 130 mm;
• Now you should depress the clutch pedal 3-4 times and check the indicators; if re-adjustment is not required, then you need to tighten the nuts back.

Done, the new clutch cable of the VAZ 2110 is installed and the pedal is adjusted. The vehicle is ready for use.

Tools

To perform this operation we need a minimum set of tools. Among them, it is necessary to prepare keys “for 8”, “for 17” and “for 19”. We also need a Phillips screwdriver. Replacing the VAZ-2110 clutch cable with your own hands can be done in two ways:

1. With removal of the windshield wiper and frill.
2. No removal.

Let's look at both options in more detail.

This method takes a little longer. However, dismantling elements such as the windshield wiper and frill (this is a decorative panel located under the “arms” of the wipers) will significantly facilitate the process of replacing the cable. So, where do we start? First, you need to remove the windshield wiper with wrenches, and then the plastic trim underneath it. This way we will release the clutch cable of the 2110 VAZ from the fork. Slide the cover off the cable end and unscrew the nut that secures the end to the bracket on the transmission. Use the second wrench (“19”) to keep the tip from turning. We remove the part from the fasteners. The tip bracket is removed from the studs. Next, unscrew the screw of the protective cover holder. The latter bends slightly to the side. This way we can get to the tip of the clutch cable. Using a screwdriver, remove the locking bracket. Remove the tip. Next we go to the salon. Here we need to unscrew the bolt with which the cable is attached to the pedal. We dismantle the bushing and inspect its technical condition. If necessary, we make a replacement. Don't forget about lubrication. On a VAZ-2110 car, replacing the clutch cable cannot be done without first treating it with Litol. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

Now let's look at how to replace the clutch cable on a VAZ-2110 car without removing the windshield wiper and decorative trim. First, we take the “19” key in our hands and unscrew the cable fasteners. Remove the tip from the clutch release fork. Next, we move into the interior and unscrew the nut securing the element to the pedal with an “8” wrench. We slightly lift the latter and pry up the clip, after which we disconnect the bracket. Next, you can completely remove the cable from the interior. The new element is also installed from the interior. We push it into the engine compartment and secure it in place. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

Dismantling

Next, you need to remove the old cable, which will allow you to install a new element of the clutch system. The sequence of work will be as follows:

1. Remove the windshield wiper from your "ten".
2. Loosen the locknut and adjusting nut slightly.
3. Remove the rim of the damaged cable from the clutch release fork.
4. Slightly move the cover of the lower end of the cable casing using a 17 wrench.
5. At the same time, you need to loosen the nut securing the tip to the bracket. The tip must be held with a second key of 17, which will prevent turning.
6. Remove the required tip from the bracket.
7. The windshield wiper mechanism bracket is held on by 2 nuts that need to be unscrewed. Plus, dismantle the bracket itself directly.
8. Do not forget that during reassembly, the bracket must be installed with the inclined part towards the front of the car.
9. Now you tighten the screw that secures the protective cover and remove its holder.
10. Bend the cover a little, which will allow you to reach the fastening of the cable tip to the pedal responsible for the clutch.
11. Using a flathead screwdriver, pry and remove the support bracket from the “finger”, and then remove the cable end from it.
12. The next step is to remove the bolt securing the cable holder to the pedal bracket. This way you will finally be able to pull the damaged cable through the interior.
13. But that's not all. Remove the bushing from the pedal pin.
14. If the bushing is broken or worn out, be sure to replace it with a new one. But keep in mind that the design stipulates that the sleeve is cut. Therefore, this is not a defect that arose during operation, but the manufacturer’s idea.

Modification of the VAZ throttle by shifting the ventilation circuit

As practice shows, the most “long-suffering” parts in the design of the VAZ 2110 ventilation system are the air flow sensor and the idle speed controller. They are most susceptible to the effects of crankcase gases, which the ventilation system of the “tens” does not direct outward, but rather transfers to the entrance to the carburetor in a second circle. This property is the main reason why the throttle valve has to be modified.

• Wynn's injector flushing
• throttle valve VAZ 2112

At the beginning of the operation, you will need to plug the old entrance of the large ventilation circuit. To do this, we use a plug with a diameter of 16 mm. After this, we drill a hole with a diameter of approximately 13 mm on the damper pipe. Carefully insert a corner of a copper tube into it, the width of which should be at least 12 mm. In this case, the standard rubber tube must be lengthened by about 1 cm.

The final stage of adjustment will be to increase the initial opening angle of the damper itself. To do this, we cut a tin strip 1 mm thick and attach it to the throttle lever.

Thus, in about 1 hour we completed modifications to the throttle valve of the “tens”. After this, the “idle” speed of the car will not increase, since the regulator responsible for this adapts after each start of the car’s engine.

Contacting the service station

The vehicle can be driven by inexperienced drivers who do not know how to change the clutch cable on a VAZ 2110, in which case it is necessary to contact a technical service. You will have to pay for the service, but this has its advantages:

• As for the cost, most service stations have reasonable pricing;
• all manipulations are carried out by highly qualified craftsmen with long experience;
• the process uses modern equipment and tools;
• Only new spare parts are installed;
• fast service times;
• quality assurance.

All these advantages indicate that you should not save money on car repairs if the driver does not know how to change the clutch cable on a VAZ 2110 car yourself.

A few words about the clutch cable drive

Foreign automakers extremely rarely equip their cars with such a clutch drive, preferring more reliable hydraulics that rarely fail. But on vehicles of Russian manufacturers, cable clutch mechanisms are standard. And this despite the fact that they have a lot of real shortcomings, which are well known to owners of domestic cars.

The clutch cable needs constant adjustment during operation, which is due to the natural operating wear of the clutch drive. It quickly becomes covered with rust, breaks off at the most unexpected moments, and so on. It is for this reason that every driver driving a car with a manual transmission is simply obliged to know what to do if the cable that interests us fails.

We will talk further about how to change and adjust the cable mechanism. Now let’s describe it in a few words. The cable is connected to the clutch pedal using screws, its other end is also fixed with a screw, but to a special bushing in the shield. In this case, the cable is screwed to the pedal as tightly and reliably as possible, and to the bushing more freely, due to which the described mechanism rotates on the axis without any serious difficulties. In addition, a stop must be installed under the pedal, which protects the cable from breaking.

What to do if the clutch pedal does not work

If this is exactly what happened, do not panic, call a tow truck or ask other drivers to tow the car. You can drive without using the clutch, start in first gear and either drive slowly with the hazard warning light on, or rev the throttle while changing gears. Driving for a long time without a clutch will “kill” the gearbox, but if you need to get to the garage or workshop once, you can. Of course, you can do it your way if there is no other choice and the price of transportation suits you.

Advice from professionals

A vehicle breakdown causes a lot of inconvenience and requires unexpected cash costs. To prevent such situations, it is recommended to take the advice of professionals.

1. Carry out technical inspections of your vehicles regularly. This manipulation will allow us to identify future breakdowns and eliminate malfunctions at an early stage of development.
2. Respond promptly to emerging signs. Do not operate a vehicle with worn parts.
3. When making repairs, use only new and high-quality spare parts.
4. Once again, spend a little and entrust the work to qualified mechanics if you don’t know how to remove the clutch cable of a VAZ 2110.
5. To extend the life of the clutch cable, systematically lubricate it with a special substance using a syringe provided for this procedure. This feature will prevent chafing of the element.

Carefully monitor the condition of your car. Timely maintenance will extend the life of the vehicle.
