✅ How to adjust the rocker on a VAZ 2110

The gearbox in VAZ 2110 cars is one of the most involved dynamic elements. Because of this, the unit often becomes loose, which makes operating the car inconvenient. A shaking gear shift lever is a fairly common occurrence in domestic cars. There are two ways to combat this defect: constantly adjust the gearbox or make the rocker short-stroke - the process can be done independently. You can also purchase a gearbox repair kit from another VAZ model, which initially comes with a short-throw driveshaft.

What is so good about a short-stroke rocker? Firstly, it guarantees reliable operation of the gearbox over a long period of time. Secondly, the short-stroke version helps to increase the clarity of VAZ gear changes, including in the 2110 model. This is quite enough to make the operation of the power plant more comfortable, because smoothness, stroke and clarity of gear shifting are important for the gearbox.

The gearbox on the VAZ-2110 sometimes starts to act up. If you neglect the care and maintenance of this part of the car, you can get many problems with the operation of the gearbox. As a rule, these are inaccuracies in gear shifting, characteristic “knocking out” of the gear, crunching and clanging when manipulating the gearbox lever. Some car owners believe that all these symptoms indicate a gearbox failure.

Why do you need a gearbox slide?

In fact, most often the gearbox is in good condition, but the rocker may fail.

You can replace the unit with a new one, or you can get by with proper adjustment of the rocker. Adjusting this element will help troubleshoot problems and make sure that the problem is related specifically to the gearbox linkage. It happens that a car owner simply begins to change one component after another without understanding the problem, wasting money and time to no avail.

The gearbox itself is designed to prevent gears from switching spontaneously . It happens that due to incorrect or erroneous adjustments, the entire transmission system begins to work incorrectly and may even fail. Therefore, you need to be able to adjust the gearbox rocker with your own hands, especially since this procedure is not complicated.

When does the rocker need adjustment?

Gear shift mechanism.

The procedure for adjusting the gearbox linkage is recommended in the following cases:

After the transmission on the car has been replaced or removed.
When loosening the fixing clamps.
If the cardan was changed.
If the link starts to rotate on its hinge.

Although visually it may seem that the rocker is in place, even the slightest movement of the rocker can lead to incorrect operation of the gearbox. It happens that it is enough to tighten the link to the cardan by 1 mm, after which all functions of the gearbox will be restored.

Repair

Regardless of what exactly you do with the rocker - repair, adjust or change, you will still need to disassemble this unit.

Disassembly is performed as follows.

Remove the cover from your gear shift knob.
Place the car on a pit, or raise the front end with a jack.
Remove the front console. It is held in place by mounting bolts.
Now remove the curtain itself. To fix it, AvtoVAZ used 6 bolts in the case of the VAZ 2110 model.
When carrying out dismantling work, be sure to examine the condition of all elements.
By bending the boot, you will gain access to the support, oil seal and cardan shaft.

Changing the boot

Now regarding the repairs. There may be several recommendations in this regard, depending on the current state of the node and its components.

At best, repairs will require the use of a repair kit for the backstage. It doesn't cost much.
If the bushing is deformed, it will need to be replaced with a new one.
Check the lever shaft bore for wear.
Make sure there is no play in the driveshaft. Otherwise, a regular repair kit will no longer be enough, that is, a complete replacement of the entire backstage will be required.
Often the culprit of extraneous noise and rattling when shifting gears in gearboxes is the rocker pad. Changing it is quite simple, and even a beginner can perform the operation.

Replacing the oil seal

Quite often, VAZ 2110 owners are faced with a situation where, after parking under the car, they find traces of oil. There are two options here - the oil filter has worn out or there are problems with the oil seal.

As you replace the oil seal, you will be able to simultaneously inspect and change such elements as the cushion, cardan shaft, and boot.

Dismantling works

But let's talk about everything in order. First of all, check whether it is really an oil seal and not a filter. If everything is fine with the filter, then we drive the car into a pit or find another way to end up under the bottom of your VAZ 2110. Beforehand, it would be a good idea to watch video materials regarding your current situation.

Carefully inspect the boot. If oil leaks from the gearbox through the oil seal on your car, traces of it will definitely remain on the boot.
Bend back the boot. This way you can get to the cardan, disconnect it and gain access to the cuff.
You first need to dismantle the cardan from the lever, and only then from the rocker itself. Not the other way around.
The cardan has been removed, so we move to the oil seal.
The cuff is removed from the gearbox using a hook and an awl. Therefore, make sure you have these tools at hand in advance.
Now a new one is installed in place of the old oil seal. Craftsmen have adapted to using ordinary plastic bottle caps. If you get used to it, it turns out to be very easy to change the oil seal.
After replacing the element, return all dismantled components to their places. If some of them need replacing or signs of wear are already visible, it is better to replace them immediately. It is unlikely that you will want to repeat the same operation in a couple of weeks and lie under your own car.

Repair will not give the desired result if the adjustment was carried out with errors. To do everything carefully and competently, use the help of a partner. One will work under the car, the second will help from inside.

The gearbox is one of the most complex components of a vehicle. However, this does not mean that its repair cannot be done at home on your own. Now we will tell you what the VAZ 2110 rocker is, what may be the reasons for its malfunction and how to repair the mechanism.

Preparing to adjust the rocker

On an old car, it is better to lubricate the linkage mounting assembly with a penetrating compound in advance.

Before starting adjustment work, you need to prepare the place and carry out the following preparatory measures:

The car needs to be parked in a pit.
The handbrake must be tightened all the way.
It is mandatory to install wheel chocks.

For a faster and better adjustment process, it is better to perform all work with an assistant. The process itself can occur in several ways.

First adjustment method

To adjust, you need to loosen the clamp connecting the rocker drive to the cardan.

This method is the simplest. In this case, the gearbox linkage is adjusted according to the reverse speed . First of all, you need to loosen the clamp, after which the reverse gear is engaged. Then you need to position the lever in the position you need. After this, the clamp is tightened and the operation of the entire mechanism is checked.

If you don't succeed the first time, you need to listen for knocks and crackles when switching . They must either decrease or increase. In accordance with this, you need to position the lever in the desired direction. If all manipulations do not lead to the desired effect, you need to resort to another adjustment method.

Second adjustment method

The gear shift lever should rest against the locking plate (in the photo it is made of light plastic).

This method is used if the first one did not lead to the desired results. When using it, you can more clearly position the gearshift lever. This method is as follows:

The gearshift lever switches to first speed.
The backstage clamp is completely loosened.
Next, you need to turn the drive of the rocker itself counterclockwise until the lever rests against the reverse speed stop.
The backstage clamp is tightened.

Tighten the clamp fastening nut, eliminating the shift of the rod during operation.

It happens that some VAZ-2110 cars do not have a plastic limiter retainer, so the adjustment in this case is carried out not in first gear, but in neutral.

Third adjustment method

This method is quite complicated , as it involves calculating the depth of the gearbox linkage to the cardan. Due to this, the position of the lever in the neutral position can be accurately calculated and adjusted. It happens that if the calculation is not accurate enough, all manipulations only lead to the appearance of rattling when changing gears.

If adjustment by any of the above methods does not lead to the desired results, several options are possible to solve the problem:

Carry out diagnostics at a service station to make sure that the problem is in the gearbox linkage.
You can replace the gearbox linkage.
You can contact specialists who will adjust the slide themselves.

How to choose a new backstage?

What kind of rocker should I put on a Niva Chevrolet? This question came to the mind of every Niva car owner who had to deal with a malfunction of this element. In fact, there is nothing difficult in choosing a component.

In practice, many car owners of the above car models install mechanisms from classic Fiat cars on their vehicles. According to reviews on the Internet, these devices are completely suitable for installation in a Chevrolet Niva. However, there is also a negative side. In practice, Niva cars equipped with a mechanism from Fiat cars require more careful adjustment of the element. In addition, despite Italian quality, these components of the transmission system are more susceptible to wear and tear.

Therefore, when choosing a mechanism, you should not “be fooled” by the stories of handicraft “garage” craftsmen and come up with a new headache for yourself. For installation in a Chevrolet Niva, it is better to purchase a standard rocker, which is equipped with basic models of Niva cars.

Replacing an element

As a rule, the need to repair this component arises after installing or repairing the gear shift drive. If you have replaced the drive, but when driving you feel how the vibration of the gearbox lever remains, then, most likely, there is increased play in the lever hinge mechanism. This means that the hinges should be repaired, and accordingly, it may be necessary to replace the rocker.

If you decide to replace a component at home yourself, then prepare in advance everything that you may need during the work process. In particular, we are talking about:

wrenches on "12";
wrench set to “14”;
socket wrench at “10”;
clamp for securing the gearshift lever cover;
stationery knife;
Phillips screwdriver.

Of course, you will also need a new mechanism if you decide to replace it.

First of all, open the hood of your Chevrolet Niva and find the connection between the tip of the gearshift lever and the gear shift rod. Once you see this connection, take the appropriate wrench and loosen the nut of the mounting screw. After this, remove the turnbuckle and its protective cover. Now get into the car and remove the front part of the floor covering. Next, remove the gearshift lever cover frame

Be careful, you will need to remove it carefully to avoid damaging the clips. Next, you will need to turn the shift lever boot inside out. Having done this, you will see the cover fastening clamp

Take pliers or a regular stationery knife and cut through this clamp. After this, the cover can be removed from the lever. Please note: the gearbox lever mounting clamp is disposable. That is, if you bite it with pliers or cut it with a knife, you won’t be able to reinstall the part in its original place. Therefore, when assembling the parts, you will need to install a new clamp. Next, you will need to remove the front portion of the floor tunnel lining. Depending on the year of manufacture of your Chevrolet Niva, the instructions for dismantling the floor tunnel lining may differ. Therefore, we recommend that you use the instruction manual specific to your car. Now look at the gearshift lever. You will see that the axle lock is attached to it: this element must be disconnected from the lever. Having done this, the lever axis can be dismantled, simultaneously removing this axis from the holes of the gear shift lever and the rocker. When the axle is removed, you need to remove the gearshift lever. To do this, you will need to pull the lever itself up. Then take a screwdriver and push the plastic bushing inside the gear lever housing. You need to move this element along the shaft. Now, using a wrench, you need to unscrew several screws securing the gearshift lever housing to the car body. By unscrewing and dismantling the bolts, you can remove the housing and remove the gearbox shaft from it. Next, remove the guide rod from the shaft. Now you will see your backstage. If you see a large play in the hinges of the element that cannot be adjusted, or the hole for the lever axis is too worn, then you need to remove the mechanism and replace it with a new one. Since the process of replacing this element is not so easy, we recommend that you visually inspect all dismantled parts. If you have any doubts about their performance or reliability, it is better to replace them immediately. After replacing the backstage, all parts must be assembled in the reverse order. Don't forget to install a new shift lever clamp.

After installing the rocker, you will need to adjust the gearbox shift drive.

Self-adjustment of the rocker on a VAZ 2110. Adjustment of the gearbox rocker with your own hands

To get rid of all this, you need to carry out a simple procedure for adjusting the gearbox rocker, especially since adjusting the rocker will take you no more than half an hour.

The gearbox slide is necessary to prevent random switching of gears due to the simultaneous movement of the sliders. Often, the entire transmission suffers from an incorrectly adjusted rocker, and as a result, you are at risk of malfunctioning the entire gearbox. In our previous articles, we have already talked about this detail several times, for example, in the article: About how to install a short-stroke rocker on a Lada Priora, as well as in the article: Installing a short-stroke rocker on a VAZ 2109. In addition, the issue of engaging gears and gearboxes is addressed in this article.

Adjusting the gearbox slide requires the presence of an assistant, in which case the result, and the work itself, will be of better quality. It is fashionable to adjust the slide in several ways; below we will talk about each of them in more detail.

How to adjust the rocker on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands

Before adjusting the gearbox linkage, it is necessary to perform a number of preparatory work:

Drive the car into the pit.
Tighten the handbrake and install the wheel chocks.

Method No. 1 - adjusting the rocker according to the rear speed.

Loosen the clamp.
Engage reverse and position the lever as you would like it to be in that position.
Then tighten the clamp and check how the rocker works, whether you are satisfied with the current position of the lever and the operation of the rocker.

Method No. 2 - adjusting the rocker at first speed.

This method is used, as a rule, when the first method did not produce results.

Turn on first speed.
Loosen the rocker clamp.
Turn the rocker drive counterclockwise until the gearshift lever begins to rest against the plastic reverse speed stop.
Tighten the clamp and check how everything works.

Method No. 3 - adjusting the scenes in neutral.

If you do not have a plastic stopper, the adjustment is made in neutral gear.

To adjust the neutral position of the gearshift lever, you need to accurately calculate the depth of the shift of your gearbox to the driveshaft of the VAZ 2110. Sometimes such manipulations result in the appearance of annoying rattling of the lever.

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.

How to adjust the gear shift drive

The occurrence of any problems with gear shifting does not always mean a serious breakdown of the gearbox.
If gears are difficult to engage, difficulties have arisen with selecting a gear, which prevents engagement, etc., then in some cases it is sufficient to adjust the gear shift drive. At the same time, you can adjust the manual transmission drive either at a service station or independently. Read in this article

Adjusting the gear shift drive
What's the result?

Adjusting the gear shift drive

Before regulating anything, you need to have an idea of how this or that mechanism works, how it works, etc. First, let's look at the design and principle of operation of a manual gearbox (gearbox) in general terms.

The gearbox converts and transmits torque from the engine to the drive wheels so that the car can move off and change speed. There are four types of gearboxes: manual, automatic, robotic and CVT.

The first two types are the most common today. Taking into account the fact that a manual transmission or “mechanics” has a simpler design, we will consider just such a unit as an example.

A mechanical transmission is, relatively speaking, a set of shafts (input and output) and a set of gears on each of the shafts. The gears on the shafts mesh and thus interact with each other.

Using the gear shift lever, the driver can determine which pairs of gears will work, that is, select the desired gear. At the same time, on a manual transmission you also have to depress the clutch so that the torque is not transmitted to the gearbox (to the input shaft).

Like any other mechanism, the shift drive has certain settings that get lost over time. This may cause problems with transmission control. In other words, if the gears are difficult to engage, there can be many reasons, one of them being the need to adjust the drive.

We also recommend reading the article about what a gearbox yoke is. From this article you will learn about the purpose, design, principles of operation, as well as signs of problems with the mechanism and how to adjust the gearbox rocker if necessary.

By and large, all adjustment of the gear shift mechanism in a garage comes down to working on the gear selection rod. It is also called the backstage. In a nutshell, the linkage is the device that connects the gearshift lever to the gearbox. When it wears out, problems arise such as:

increase in shift lever play;
incorrect gear selection (another one is switched on instead of the selected one);
when switching you have to put in more effort than before;
Extraneous sounds occur when the lever moves.

If the described problems occur, it may often be necessary to completely replace or adjust the linkage. At the same time, the procedure for setting up the scenes is not complicated. The main thing is to know how to adjust the drive. General recommendations will be given below, as some nuances may arise depending on the make and model of the car.

To adjust the gear shift rod you will need the following tools:

You can adjust it in two simple ways. There will be one common action for them: loosen (and then tighten again) the rocker clamp. Its location may vary depending on the model and make of the car (you can check it in the manual).

In reverse gear. The method allows you to solve the problem of incorrect activation of speeds in the vast majority of cases. It consists in the fact that after loosening the clamp (you will need a key for this), reverse gear is engaged (with the engine turned off, in compliance with safety precautions). The shift lever is set to the desired position and the clamp is tightened again.
Also, gear shift adjustment can be carried out in first gear. To do this, you need to turn it on and then loosen the clamp. Next, the rocker drive is rotated clockwise until the gearbox selector hits the plastic stop of the reverse gear. It feels good. Then the clamp is tightened again, after which the adjustment can be considered complete.

What's the result?

As you can see, problems with gear shifting do not always mean that expensive or major gearbox repairs are necessary. In many cases (if there are no other signs and reasons), it is enough to know how to adjust the gearbox, that is, the linkage on a manual transmission. However, you can perform this procedure yourself.

Finally, we note that with regard to automatic transmissions, even taking into account the fact that such a box has a complex design, you can also configure the automatic box. We also recommend reading the article on how to adjust the automatic transmission cable. From this article you will learn about why adjusting the automatic transmission cable is needed, as well as what results and changes in the operation of the automatic transmission can be achieved through this adjustment.

In this case, correctly adjusted automatic transmission cables allow you to get rid of jerks and kicks of the automatic transmission, as well as achieve smoothness and precision during gear shifting.

Self-adjustment of the rocker on a VAZ 2110. Adjustment of the gearbox rocker with your own hands

“> The gearbox linkage, like everything else in a car, requires care and timely adjustment. misadjusted gearbox linkage can cause discomfort while driving.

Replacing a car's rocker, eliminating play

The design of the gear lever movement device is invented with the aim of uninterrupted operation of the gearbox. You can repair the backstage yourself or with the help of a partner for convenience. Most car enthusiasts are inclined to replace the standard rocker with a short-throw one. Installing a short-throw rocker is a type of tuning that allows you to reduce the limit of movement of the gear shift lever.

When using such a link, gear shifting occurs clearly and quickly. The process of replacing a regular link with a short-stroke one is quite simple. It is necessary to lift the fastening of the iron rod that runs from the gearbox to the shift lever in the passenger compartment. In this case, it is not necessary to remove the link; you only need to disassemble the spherical support.

Then open the iron ring until the plastic tabs move apart and the ball is released. After this, loosen the clamp near the gearbox, disconnect the rod and drag it in using the dirt cover. While in the pit, cut off the parts and weld a pipe into a rod, no more than 2-3 mm thick, and a piece of sheet metal, 5-6 mm thick. The rod is usually cut off by 2-4 cm.

A simpler option, but quite expensive, is purchasing a new rod. A short-stroke slide costs about 700 rubles.

Large play on the rocker is a disease of the car model in question, the cause is the original gearbox driveshaft. To carry out repairs, you need to purchase the cardan itself. For this car, it is suitable from Kalina; it is purchased together with the boot. For the repair itself, a minimum of tools is required: keys “13” and “10”, a screwdriver and a hammer.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=4E5QvJcfEf4

Repair or replacement is carried out on an inspection pit or lift. You will need the assistance of an assistant to make subsequent adjustments to the shift lever. Using two keys set to “13”, stretch the clamp on the rod and pull the drive off the rocker rod. Use a screwdriver to push the boot towards the gearbox or remove it completely.

Unscrew the bolt and knock down the cardan with weak blows of a hammer. Installation of a new one is carried out in the reverse order, that is, first you need to put the boot on and the cardan on the shaft. After the bolt aligns exactly with the recess on the shaft, put the boot on the universal joint.

How to adjust the rocker on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands

Often, inexperienced car owners mistake problems with the clutch for a failure of the gearbox. Do not panic ahead of time, it is important to correctly diagnose the problem; if the cause of the problem is the rocker, you can fix the problem yourself.

Experience in servicing the VAZ 2110 allows us to say that problems with the rocker require replacement or major repairs of the part in extreme cases. Most often, the situation is saved by simple adjustment.

You should not be afraid when it becomes clear that repair work, replacement, or adjustment of a car part is inevitable. Almost every car owner can adjust the VAZ rocker with his own hands.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning rocker

There are certain signs indicating that it is the gearbox linkage that has become unusable, and not the transfer case itself.
The most common signs:

When turning on/off first gear, the driver experiences difficulties; it is difficult to move the gearbox handle to the desired position;

The first gear is driven correctly, but after a while the reverse gear is set independently;

The choice of any speed takes place in normal mode, but it is difficult to turn on the first and fifth, the lever does not obey.

As soon as the listed symptoms, even one of them, are noted while driving a car, you need to contact the service to fix the problem. If experience and desire allow, you can fix the breakdown yourself.

The most common symptoms of a link failure and possible cause:

The play in the gearbox lever can be clearly felt: the cause could be physical wear of the linkage, the problem can be solved by completely replacing the part.
The box slide rings when gears are changed: sometimes the sound indicates a poorly performed repair or a factory assembly defect.
Speeds are switched with great effort: adjusting the VAZ 2110 rocker will fix this; if the problem persists, you will need to replace the element.
When you engage the first gear, the lever shifts to reverse gear: the reason is precisely in the gearbox, a mandatory replacement is required. The situation can be corrected by a repair kit, but this depends on the severity of the damage or the detected wear of the assembly elements.
When the engine is running, strong vibration is transmitted to the gearshift knob: the hinges need to be checked, the cause could be play.

Fighting the ringing

Typically, a ringing sound appears after adjusting the gear shift lever. To correct this drawback, you need to install a spring to hold the lever. The development of mechanical engineering makes it possible to replace the parts of the VAZ 2110 backstage with similar, but more advanced ones. For a VAZ car, the Kalina rocker is ideal.

In this case, the cardan from the new model is modified to be 20 mm longer than on the ten. This sound is directly related to the part itself; the Kalina rocker has no play, and all the vibration is transmitted into the car interior, to the gear shift lever itself. The easiest way to get rid of rattling is to install a spring.

Adjusting the backstage. Sequence of procedure

On a VAZ 2110, the adjustment of the backstage can be repaired in a regular garage; you just need to be patient, free time and the participation of a caring friend.

How to adjust the VAZ 2110 rocker if signs of a malfunction have just begun to appear:

It is necessary to set the gearbox lever to first gear. It will be difficult to do this, but it must be done;
It is most convenient to inspect the car on a lifting mechanism, which will provide access under the car. It is necessary to secure it with a handbrake and locking objects installed under the wheels;
The box should remain engaged in first gear;
Open the engine compartment and try to find the clamp that holds the rocker. To do this, you need to get close to the transfer case and reduce the clamp pressure;
As soon as the clamp is loosened, perform the next adjustment step - move the gear shift lever to the left as much as possible. This must be done without jerking; if the movement is chaotic, the slide will come off;
With the gearbox lever in the maximum left position, tighten the clamp;
Often it is enough to move the link in relation to the cardan by a few millimeters.

By adjusting the rockers, it is possible to assess the degree of wear of the driveshaft; it is better to replace it if severe wear is noticed.

Box device

The operating principle of the device is as follows:

To change gears, the main shaft operates in the box. It consists of a block of gears that are constantly in mesh with gears from 1st to 5th gear (forward movement of the car).
The second shaft is equipped with final drive gears, which also includes synchronizers. They are responsible for the forward movement of the driven gears. The oil pan and bearing are in the same place.
The “ten” is attached to the two-satellite differential through the flange of the gearbox of the driven gear main gear.
The drivetrain consists of a shift knob, ball joints, shift lever, joysticks, shift mechanism and direct shift mechanism.
The purpose of the jet lift is to prevent speed deviation. Its ends are attached to the bracket and the engine.

Finalization of the scenes of the VAZ 2110

Owners of domestically produced cars often wonder about the possibility of improving the operation of the gearbox by installing a short-throw shifter instead of the standard one installed during assembly.

The short-throw rocker is the result of a VAZ garage tuning. Replacement allows you to improve the efficiency of the box, gear shifting is carried out in a more precise mode, and whether to make this replacement or not is the choice of the car owner.

Changing the type of rocker does not require dismantling the standard part. Replacement is carried out in the sequence described below:

From the outside, disassemble the ball joint;
The metal ring of the support gently opens, the plastic legs move apart;
The support ball rolls out;
Disconnect the rod from the support, then weld a fragment of a tube, a strong piece of metal, to it, to the rod;
When making adjustments, it is necessary to raise the hinge with the hook, this will prevent the switching on the wrong speed that was selected.

You can watch the process in more detail in the video:

Changing the type of gearbox link will result in a harder gear shift, but it will also become clearer.

Technological features of long-stroke and short-stroke scenes, as well as their advantages and disadvantages:

Adjustment

You still need to engage first gear and drive onto the overpass. Naturally, put the car on the handbrake and put wheel chocks under the wheels. Don't turn off first gear!

From below, find the clamp that secures the rocker and loosen it. Returning to the car, you need to move the lever to the left as far as you can. You cannot move the lever back or forward; the link may come off.

Go back under the car and tighten the clamp. Sometimes it is enough to move the rocker relative to the cardan by a few millimeters, and the gearbox will work perfectly again, gear shifts will occur as expected.

Adjusting the Ural and Dnepr motorcycle gearbox

As soon as you are faced with the problem of unsatisfactory gear shifting, you should be wary. This can probably be attributed to a broken gearbox gear. When the latter is not a problem, you can turn to adjusting the gearbox with screws located on the box near the base of the lever.

There is no need to panic and rush to turn the screws. However, it is still worth checking the condition of the balls and holes for the nature of the breakdowns; it is still worth organizing the gearbox of a Ural motorcycle; do not forget to check the serviceability of the shift sector. If the situation inspires confidence in reliability, then the next step will be adjustment, carried out as follows.

Motorcycle Ural gearbox adjustment

First, put the motorcycle on the stand. Use the hand lever to set second gear, press the pedal to 3rd gear. If the ball coincides with the hole, the lower screw should not be touched. When there is a hole in the 3rd gear that does not coincide with the ball, a misalignment occurs (when the manual shift lever is pushed forward, the Ural motorcycle gearbox coincides with the ball), you will need to slightly unscrew the bottom screw. If the hole jumps over the ball, i.e. switches (the lever should be moved back), then the logical action is to screw in the lower screw.

Then we move from the third to the second. When the hole in the second gear does not reach the ball (the lever should be moved back), you will need to unscrew the upper adjusting screw. When the hole jumps over the ball (when the manual shift lever is pushed forward, the speed is turned on) - tighten the top screw.

Tuning

Many VAZ 2110 car owners, even having purchased a completely new car, strive to change the scenes. This can make it more comfortable, but only if done carefully.

The fact is that the short-stroke rocker is, in fact, a homemade product, a modification. If you have a short-throw shifter, the gearbox wears out less, and in general this is not bad for the gears - they engage more clearly.

In order for the short-stroke rocker to replace the standard one, it does not have to be completely removed. It is enough for the ball joint to be disassembled from the outside. It is necessary to unclench the metal ring of the support and spread the plastic legs so that the ball comes out.

Next, you need to disconnect the rod from the support and weld a small piece of pipe to the rod, as well as a piece of durable sheet metal. Do not forget to lift up the hinge, which has a hook, to prevent the gears from being engaged by mistake.

Although the short-throw rocker requires more effort to engage, it increases the smoothness and clarity of gear engagement. But, in principle, choosing which is better for him - short-stroke or full-time - is the right of every VAZ 2110 owner.

Differences between a short-stroke link

The main differences can be seen even in photographs. We see that the short-stroke rocker has smaller dimensions, namely length. To reduce the stroke length at startup, the length of the transmission under the hinge should be increased. Due to this, we can not only get shorter gears, but also maintain the traction axis in its original position.

The photo shows a self-modernized backstage. As an alternative, you can use a part from other VAZ models.

It is worth understanding that after such tuning, you will need to put more effort when changing speeds. After upgrading, switching will resemble joystick control, which is undoubtedly a plus. In addition to the rocker, you can install a backlash-free cardan, which will also have a positive effect on the smooth operation of the gearbox.

Repair or replacement

Before deciding whether repair, adjustment or replacement of the link is necessary, it will have to be disassembled.

Remove the cover on the gear shift knob;
The machine must be installed on a jack or on an overpass (pit);
Remove the front console, which is bolted on;
Remove the rocker by unscrewing 6 bolts.

During this procedure, carefully inspect all parts. You definitely need to bend the boot and inspect the condition of the support, cardan shaft, and oil seal.

It may be necessary to use a rem. kit, and perhaps a more complex repair is needed.

If the bushing is deformed, it needs replacement. If the cardan has play, as well as if the hole in the lever axis is worn, a complete replacement of the link and repair belt is necessary. the kit clearly won't help.

The reasons why the gearshift lever may dangle and play are discussed in this material: https://vazweb.ru/desyatka/salon/boltaetsya-rychag-kpp.html

It happens that the rocker pad is to blame for the rattling noise when changing gears. Replacing a pillow is a simple operation, but can be beneficial.

Backstage replacement and repair

Taking into account the fact that during operation of a car, the rocker on a VAZ or on any other car experiences constant loads, the mechanism wears out, and adjustments get lost

For this reason, it is important to understand what in a particular case would be the optimal solution: repair, adjustment or replacement of the rocker with a standard new one or a short-stroke one

In any case, it is necessary to first disassemble the mechanism. To do this you will need:

remove the cover on the gearshift knob;
drive the car onto a pit or overpass/lift;
remove the tunnel where the gearshift knob is installed by unscrewing the bolts;
dismantle the rocker itself (on a VAZ 2110 it is secured with six bolts).

During the disassembly process, you need to carefully check the condition of each individual part, you should also bend the boot, check the condition of the support, oil seal, cardan, etc.

If, for example, the oil seal has failed, then it is enough to have a repair kit where such an oil seal is included. This kit will also come in handy if more complex repairs to the backstage are required.

We also note that a common problem that drivers note during operation is the rattling of the rocker. Typically, in this case, if there are no other complaints, the drawstring cushion is often the culprit.

At the same time, replacing the rocker cushion is not a complicated procedure, but the result is often positive and significantly increases the comfort when operating the vehicle.

Another important procedure in the process of servicing the rocker is replacing the rocker rod oil seal. It is important to understand that the serviceability of not only the operation of the scenes, but also the gearbox directly depends on its condition

If drops of transmission oil are visible under the car, this often indicates that the seal is leaking. As a rule, problems with the VAZ 2110 rocker seal appear in the form of a crunching noise when switching.

As for replacing the oil seal, the car needs to be driven into a pit or raised on a lift. Next, you should inspect the rubber boot. If it is not sealed or is torn, traces of oil will be visible.

Then you should bend the boot, disconnect the cardan and thus gain access to the cuff. Now the cardan is removed from the lever, after which it is disconnected from the rocker. After removal, you can get to the oil seal and then use an awl or hook to remove the gearbox cuff.

In fact, such repairs allow you to avoid oil leaks in the gearbox and improve the operation of the gear shift mechanism

Finally, we note that it is also important to carry out adjustments and settings after repairs.

The fact is that even a serviceable, but incorrectly configured rocker will not work properly. By the way, on a VAZ 2110 it’s difficult to set up the rocker yourself. To make the process easier, it is better to immediately invite an assistant.
