The car owner of a "tens" may be taken by surprise by a breakdown of the clutch system. This means that there will be unplanned expenses for spare parts and auto repair shop services. Replacing a VAZ 2110 clutch is not cheap, from 3,500 to 5,000 rubles, not counting the cost of spare parts. However, there is an option to save a significant part of your personal savings and replace worn-out parts with new ones - yourself. Let's face it, this is not an easy procedure. But, following the instructions, it is possible to deftly manage it in one day.
On a note! Do not rush into a global repair, since in some cases it is too early to change the clutch on a VAZ 2110. It is possible to eliminate the formation of a defect by adjustment. On the top of the gearbox housing there is a drive cable mounting bracket with two nuts. By tightening one of the nuts, it is possible to install new pedal travel. After this, the mechanism will serve some more.
Preparatory stage
Content
Before changing the clutch on a VAZ 2110, you need to prepare a place for repairs and tools. For this process, the most suitable solutions are: a car lift or an inspection hole. If there are no such conditions, due to a hopeless situation, it is possible to replace the clutch with a 2110 in “Spartan conditions”. It is enough to find a flat surface area in a garage box, a parking space or in the yard.
Clutch diagram for VAZ 2110: 1 - release bearing guide sleeve; 2 — gearbox input shaft; 3 — cable lead; 4 — clutch release fork; 5 — fork axle bushing; 6 — pressure disk assembly (basket); 7 — driven disk; 8 - flywheel; 9 — clutch pedal; 10 — mechanism for automatic adjustment of cable length; 13 — clutch release clutch (release bearing); 14 — lower tip of the cable sheath; 15 — bracket installed on the gearbox housing; A - the displacement distance of the leash, checked when installing the cable (27 mm).
Also, for repairs you will need:
- locksmith set with open-end wrenches and sockets up to 22 mm;
- a jack and several short boards (wooden blocks);
- container for possible draining of transmission oil from the gearbox;
- centering shaft (mandrel).
As for the clutch itself, it is sold in sets (3 in one, 2 in one) and parts separately.
The system includes 3 replaceable elements:
- release bearing;
- clutch disc;
- basket.
It is more practical for a car owner to ask in advance how much new clutch parts will cost to replace a VAZ 2110. This will help prepare the necessary budget. The price of spare parts varies and depends on the manufacturer. Among manufacturers of quality parts, the leaders are: Sachs, Luk, Valeo and Krafttech. These spare parts are guaranteed to fit the vehicle and have a long service life. Poor quality parts may not fit at all or may fail in the first days after repair.
Replacing the clutch of a VAZ 2110
After the conditions and tools are prepared, you can begin to work. First, remove the front left wheel and securely fix the car. Please note that there are two repair options: with complete dismantling of the gearbox and without it. In our case, we will talk about how to replace the clutch on a VAZ 2110 without removing the box.
The process is made easier by the fact that you don’t have to drain the transmission oil, disconnect the drive axles, and remove the heavy unit from under the car. The smallest set of operations saves time. However, to be on the safe side, you need to have a container ready where you can drain the oil from the gearbox in an emergency.
After fixing the car, open the hood, disconnect the battery and remove it completely. For easy understanding, the entire further process of replacing the clutch with your own hands on a VAZ 2110 will be described in the form of step-by-step instructions:
- Unscrew the two ball joint bolts (the wheel has already been removed);
- go to the engine compartment and remove the connector for the mass air flow sensor;
- disconnect the air intake corrugation;
- remove the air filter housing;
- disconnect the clutch cable from the gearbox by unscrewing the two fastening nuts;
- unscrew the starter bolt;
- Unscrew the gearbox bolt, located slightly to the right of the starter;
- we find another upper bolt securing the gearbox to the engine and unscrew it;
- disconnect the speed sensor plug;
- go to the bottom and dismantle the longitudinal rod along with the cup (crab);
- we find the lower starter bolt and 2 gearbox mounting bolts, unscrew them;
- remove the torque mount;
- unscrew the gearbox shift lever;
- place a jack under the engine through a wooden spacer (on the edge of the pallet);
- unscrew the nuts of the rear engine mount;
- lower the engine with a jack (it will fall to one side);
- carefully separate the engine and gearbox;
- We carefully lower the disconnected box down until it hangs on the drive axles.
The first stage of replacing the clutch on a VAZ 2110 without removing the box has been completed. As a result of dismantling, there was access to the clutch basket on the engine and the release bearing on the gearbox. Unscrew the bolts securing the basket to the flywheel and remove it. Carefully remove the release bearing from the input shaft.
After a careful examination of the removed parts, it becomes clear whether it is worth changing the entire clutch pack or whether you can limit yourself to changing the disc and bearing. It is worth noting that the replacement of the VAZ 2110 clutch basket occurs every 80 - 150 thousand km, depending on the operating mode. The disc and bearing wear out more often.
After purchasing new spare parts, we proceed to the second part of the repair and do the following:
- install the basket with the disk in place and tighten the fastening bolts;
- insert the centering shaft (mandrel) into the central hole of the crankshaft;
- then tighten the bolts tightly and remove the mandrel. It should fit freely into the hole, simulating the gearbox input shaft.
- Next, install the release bearing on the box;
- carefully lift the gearbox and connect it to the engine, slightly rotating the drive axis;
- Once the box is in place, you can fasten it with bolts and install the dismantled parts in the reverse order.
On a note! It is advisable not to leave the box hanging for a long time (more than 2 days). The fact is that the drive seals are under heavy load and they can be partially deformed. The formation of damage will lead to oil dripping from the transmission during further operation.
Do-it-yourself VAZ 2110 clutch repair
Many years of experience in operating Volzhsky Automobile Plant vehicles shows their high technology and ease of maintenance. It is possible to repair the VAZ 2110 clutch on your own with a minimum set of tools and accessories. The driver will need some skills in car maintenance and knowledge of the features of the transmission and front suspension. To organize repairs, you will need a garage or box equipped with a lift or inspection pit. The tools you will need are the items listed below:
- hydraulic or mechanical jack;
- car supports;
- a set of open-end and spanner wrenches;
- set of heads with collar;
- a set of screwdrivers with straight and curved blades;
- hammer and drift;
- Clutch disc mandrel.
The presence of a layout or table for disassembling the clutch and its subsequent repair is welcome.
Clutch adjustment on a VAZ 2110 after replacement
Setting up the transmission system will help to complete the repair efficiently. To do this, loosen the adjusting nuts on the cable. The clutch pedal will rise. We take a ruler and measure the distance from the front wall to the pedal in the cabin. The working stroke, regulated by the operating instructions, should be 120 mm (±5mm).
Press the pedal several times. Then, tighten the adjusting nut, simultaneously measuring the distance between the pedal and the wall. As soon as the desired value of 12 cm is reached, tighten the nut, holding the lock nut with another wrench. A similar adjustment operation, after replacing the clutch with your own hands, can be performed on a VAZ 2110 with a 16-valve engine.
When to replace the clutch
Replacing the clutch on a VAZ-2110 is not just desirable, but necessary if you note the following nuances:
- when you start the car and feel completely wrong engine power;
- you feel that the clutch does not engage completely, but only works partially;
- any tapping, clicking and, in principle, extraneous sounds should alert you and lead you to believe that the clutch may be acting up;
- if the clutch stalls on its own and “does not obey”;
- When you depress the clutch pedal, you feel a vibration.
