Operating principle and troubleshooting of the VAZ 2110 gear shift mechanism

Like any car, the VAZ 2110 also has a gear shift mechanism.
The VAZ gearbox is five-speed, activated by a lever located in the car's interior. In order to be able to fix problems yourself, you need to understand a little about how exactly the switching mechanism works, which is why there are cases when some speed does not turn on or goes out. And also know how to fix it on your own.

Gear knob

The gearbox design is as follows:

To ensure gear shifting, the gearbox contains a primary shaft consisting of a gear block. They are constantly engaged with the drive gears from the first to the fifth speed (that is, those that are oriented towards driving forward);
The secondary shaft is equipped with a drive gear for the main transmission, and it also has gear synchronizers that ensure forward movement of the driven gears. There are also bearings plus an oil sump;
VAZ two-satellite differential, with the driven gear of the main gear attached to the flange of its box;
the gearbox drive consists of a gear shift knob, a ball joint, a selector rod, a rod, gear selection mechanisms, and gear shifting mechanisms;
Jet thrust is designed to protect the gearbox from flying out of gear. Its ends are attached to the support and the power unit.

IMHO there are 2 options for the problem: 1. They broke the plastic bar to which the hook attached to the handle clings, or the hook itself.. (although I can’t imagine how hard it was necessary to press to break one of them) 2. The adjustment of the gear shift rod is broken. I think that's what it's called...

In short: https://www.autocat.ru/catalog/?model=12&group=155#50052 - this is a gear selection drive circuit. 2110-1703138 is traction. I'm talking about the failure of its adjustment. But here, if the adjustment is messed up, then you would notice that other gears are switched on incorrectly, incl. if other gears are ok. then most likely you have different variations of the first option. Lift the dermantine gear shift housing up from the tunnel. Everything should be visible there.

There is another option, I once broke off this same hook on the lever.

Adjustment

On a VAZ 2110, it is not so uncommon for the gears to shift poorly or get knocked out. A mechanism for adjusting the speed selection drive is provided specifically for this purpose.

Adjustment may be necessary if:

the box was recently removed for repairs;
one of the gears falls out;
the speeds do not engage well or simply get knocked out when the car is moving.

If you have one of these problems, try making adjustments first. Its sequence:

Under the bottom of the VAZ 2110, find and slightly loosen the nut on the bolt that tightens the clamp that secures the rod designed to control the gearbox;
Use a screwdriver to slightly move apart the grooves in the end of the rod and the resulting gap on the clamp itself. This is necessary to ensure easy movement of the rod in relation to the gear selection rod. Place the rod in the neutral position;
Release the shift knob from the cover in the cabin;
Align the lever using a special template. This is done like this: install a template in the window of the rear speed lock bracket lining. After this, insert the lever axis stop into the groove of the template, pressing it without unnecessary force in the transverse direction;
Then adjust the axial play of the rod in the rear direction, and its axial play by turning to the left;
Install the clamp, not reaching a few millimeters from the end of the rod. Then tighten the clamp thoroughly with the bolt.

If the described adjustment did not help you, you need to remove and disassemble the VAZ 2110 gearbox. Pay special attention to the fact that the gears with which the first and second speeds are engaged often knock out. Be sure to check each fastener.

They are made in the form of springs, there are three of them. The first clamp is long, it is responsible for first and second gears. Second is medium, for third is fourth gear. For the fifth, the shortest clamp is used.

The speed on the VAZ crashes: Causes and troubleshooting

In the case when the gear departure is accompanied by knocking, ringing or a slight grinding sound , the problem almost always lies in the box itself - looseness of the secondary shaft or wear of the synchronizers. This problem can only be solved in a well-equipped garage or technical station and with minimal experience working with gearboxes. Longitudinal play of the secondary shaft is usually eliminated by replacing the retaining rings and subsequent adjustment of the shaft; worn synchronizers must be replaced.

Repair usually comes down to adjusting the shafts, adjusting the rocker clamp; less often there is a need to replace synchronizers, and in very rare cases the flywheel needs to be replaced. If the problem is not solved immediately after it occurs, after a couple of thousand kilometers (and sometimes several hundred kilometers are enough), the box may become unusable and cannot be repaired, but only completely replaced. However, in general, the VAZ 2110 gearbox is quite reliable and repairable, and it will not be easy to bring it to the point of needing a complete replacement.

CPT diseases

VAZ 2110 owners often complain that the first gear is difficult to engage or crashes.

often the synchronizer is to blame;
perhaps the clamp spring has burst, the lever is hanging loose, the speeds are switched on as desired;
The stem and fork may need replacement.

Another complaint is that second gear is difficult to engage and often gets knocked out.

Here you can suspect the main culprits:

the second one flies out most often because the gear teeth do not mesh well with the clutch that turns on the speeds;
The tips of the gear teeth and clutch are already worn out, so the speed is difficult to engage. If you don’t intervene, it will soon fly out;
as an option, when it knocks out on bumps, the clutch dies.

Sometimes (albeit rarely) when the second one does not turn on well enough and falls out, replacing the retaining spring helps. If the speeds often drop out, some of them are difficult to turn on, which means that half-measures will no longer help - the box needs to be overhauled.

Whether you do it yourself, or go to a service center where they will repair it for you and also adjust the gear shift mechanism, decide for yourself, based on your own experience and skills.

Getting to know the gearbox

To improve the operation of the system, you should place the regulators in the extreme position (0) and remove them. Then you will have to spend time removing the front cover and glass from the latches. After this, you need to get rid of all fasteners, in particular, 2 front and 1 rear screws.

Operation, repair and maintenance

The car's highest torque is in first gear. It is not difficult for the engine to rotate the wheels, but the speed of the car will not exceed 40 kilometers per hour. When such a speed is reached, the tachometer needle is usually in the red scale. Therefore, to move further, you need to switch to a weaker but faster gear. Then to the third, quadruple and so on. All switching must be done sequentially. The engine power is not enough to confidently accelerate the car at 20 kilometers in 3rd gear. Unless, of course, it's a 5.0-liter V-8.

Every car owner is familiar with the VAZ-2110. Despite the fact that production stopped a long time ago, these models are still actively used in small provincial towns and villages. The car in all available trim levels was equipped with a manual transmission. Few owners think about installing a VAZ-2110 gearbox. However, it is very useful to know what this mechanism consists of, what “congenital diseases” it has, and how to repair it.

These marks are marked on the dipstick as the minimum and maximum values. Next, you will need to start the engine and wait until the oil light (or oil pressure light) goes out. After this, turn off the engine, check the oil level and, if necessary, remove excess or add more oil.

Installation and repair of VAZ 2110 gearbox

It also happens that transmissions go out. If they turn off while driving, then it is worth checking the condition of the engine mounts. Vibrations may cause gear shifts. If the speeds are not switched on as easily as before or if there are characteristic sounds, then this indicates worn out synchronizers. For repairs, you need to know exactly the structure of the VAZ-2110 gearbox.

The transmissions turn off on their own. This malfunction may be associated with wear or damage to the gear teeth, loosening of the second shaft nut, wear of the rods and deformation of the forks, as well as increased vibration of the motor during operation. To solve the problem, you need to replace the faulty elements and adjust the drive.
