How to choose a sports gearbox range on a VAZ

On VAZ 2108-10 cars, as well as Lada Kalina and Priora, you can notice that the first gear is too short. In addition, there is a large gap between first and second gears, and there is not enough traction in fifth gear. Refining or tuning the gearbox (for example, installing a sports series and a different main pair/gear) allows you to get rid of these shortcomings. The table shows the vehicle speed at 5000 rpm (wheels 185/60R14).

If the table data is not enough, you can use the gearbox and main pair calculator. The higher the main gear ratio (MA), the shorter the gears become. What does this affect: • acceleration will be more dynamic • maximum speed will decrease • gear changes will be more frequent

For example, for racing or street racing, the first gear is made as “long” as possible, and the remaining gears, on the contrary, are closer together. In the long first gear, the engine easily picks up high speed, and subsequent gears allow the power of the power unit to be optimally realized. When choosing a range of gearboxes and gearboxes, you need to stick to the “golden mean”, gain just enough in dynamics so as not to suffer from a decrease in maximum speed. In other words, to maximize the engine's potential. Asking the question “ which row and GP gearbox is better to choose

", it should be understood that this configuration must be selected for the specific driving style of the driver and the operating conditions of the vehicle; there is no single answer for everyone.
Some recommendations for choosing a gearbox row and GP:
• for a civilian naturally aspirated engine: gearbox row 18 + main pair 3.9.
• for a sportier naturally aspirated engine: 7th row gearbox + main pair 4.3. • for a turbo civilian engine: 104 row + main pair 3.5. Recommendations for choosing the main gearbox pair:
• 3.5 for turbocharged engines • 3.7 and 3.9 for a standard engine • 4.13 and 4.33 - tuning • 4.5 and higher (4.71, 4.92, 5.08 and 5.31) for rally or cross-country
What series of gearboxes and gearboxes did you choose for your VAZ car and why?
Leave reviews and recommendations.
By the way, along with the installation of tuning, sports gearboxes, a short-throw rocker and a backlash-free gearbox are often installed. ✔ Optimal gearbox configuration for a civilian naturally aspirated engine: 18 row gearbox + main pair 3.9. ✔ Optimal gearbox configuration for a sportier naturally aspirated engine: 7th row gearbox + main pair 4.3. ✔ Optimal gearbox configuration for a turbo civilian engine: row 104 + main pair 3.5. Gearbox ROW 05 (KPP 2108) (I - 2.92; II - 1.81; III - 1.27; IV - 0.96; V - 0.78; VI - 0.69)
Requires 1 washer 2 mm for 4th gear Belongs to the category of sports series.
4 gears changed. 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears are lengthened (as in 6th), 4th gear is shortened (as in 8th by 5%), 5th is standard. Usually GP 4.1 is installed. On forced engines - with GP 3.7, 3.9. RANGE Gearbox 06 (Gearbox 2108) (I - 2.92; II - 1.81; III - 1.27; IV - 1.06; V - 0.94; VI - 0.78)
Requires 1 washer 2 mm for 4th gear Sports row.
Classic installation - with 6th gear and 4.1 (4.3) gearbox. 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears are lengthened (1st significantly), 4th and 5th are shortened. 5th gear of the 6th row is 4th from the standard row. Gearbox ROW 07 (Gearbox 2108) (I - 2.92; II - 2.05; III - 1.56; IV - 1.31; V - 1.13; VI - 0.94)
Requires 1 2 mm washer for 4th gear and 1 for 5th gear Very short - sporty ( rally, cross) series.
Without 6th gear, it is impossible to achieve a high maximum speed. With 3.7 GP in 5th gear at 5000 rpm. – 128 km/h. When installed with GP 4.1, 4.23 can be used, for example, for short distance competitions such as drag racing. RANGE Gearbox 08 (KPP 2108) (I - 3.42; II - 2.11; III - 1.35; IV - 0.96; V - 0.78; VI - 0.69)
It is also called “commercial”, since for many years it was the most popular and best-selling near.
However, it remains relevant today. 1st gear extended, 2nd and 4th shortened. All changes are minimal (5%), but this is quite enough to correct the shortcomings of the standard series. Most often installed with GPU 4.1. Inexpensive, which is nice. Provides improved acceleration dynamics. RANGE Gearbox 011 (KPP 2108) (I - 3.64; II - 2.22; III - 1.54; IV - 1.17; V - 0.87; VI - 0.78)
Requires 1 washer 2 mm for 4th gear Came from motorsport, where it is installed, mainly with 6th gear and GP 4.1,4.3.
In custom versions it is usually installed with GPU 3.7, 3.9. 4 gears changed. At the same time, 1st is the standard, the rest are similar. An excellent option for those who do not want to extend the 1st speed. Smooth, dynamic acceleration. Gearbox ROW 012 (KPP 2108) (I - 3.17; II - 1.95; III - 1.35; IV - 1.03; V - 0.78; VI - 0.69) The
most maintainable (like the 103rd) row, because
1st (longer by 12.91%) and 4th (shorter by 10%) gears have been changed; 2nd, which, according to statistics, most often fails, is standard. Installed with almost any GPU. When installed with NP 4.1, the gear ratios are similar to the 11th row with GP 3.7. Gearbox ROW 018 (KPP 2108) (I - 3.17; II - 2.11; III - 1.48; IV - 1.13; V - 0.87; VI - 0.78)
Requires 1 2 mm washer for 4th gear One of the most popular rows today.
All 5 gears have been changed. At the same time, 1st gear (12.91% longer), the rest are very correctly selected (shortened). The 18th row provides smooth, “failure-free” acceleration dynamics. Recommended for installation on any engines with GP 4.1 (city), 3.7 or 3.9 (city-highway), it has proven itself best when used with forced engines. Gearbox ROW 102 (Gearbox 2108) (I - 3.17; II - 1.95; III - 1.35; IV - 0.94; V - 0.73)
Practically, the 102nd row is analogous to the 103rd, with the only difference being that the fifth gear is 0 ,73.
Accordingly, this series requires more power from the engine, allowing owners of forced engines to feel equally comfortable both in the city and on the highway. Gearbox RANGE 103 (KPP 2108) (I - 2.92; II - 1.95; III - 1.35; IV - 0.94; V - 0.69)
Only two gears were changed, but more than successfully. 1st 2.92 from the 6th row (long), 5th 0.69 (6th gear of the 5th and some other rows). Even with a pair of 4.3 at 5000 rpm. in fifth gear, speed 180 km/h. The result: almost sporty acceleration dynamics without losing top speed. The most successful series for those who care about both dynamics and max. speed.

Characteristics of the Lada Priora gearbox

Structurally, the Lada Priora gearbox consists of three main components:

The units are connected to each other using bolt clamps, supplemented by the application of sealant. There is a special magnet in the tray that catches metal elements that are a product of the natural development of the resource. The input shaft is a unit with a set of gears that continuously mesh with the driven gears at all available speeds. The secondary shaft is hollow and is used to supply transmission oil. It contains all the driven gears of the forward speeds.

The shafts use two types of bearings: at the back - ball type, at the front - with rollers. The oil sump is designed to redirect the flow of oil into the hollow part of the shaft. The differential design is two-satellite. The main gear gear is attached to the flange of its box.

A breather is used to communicate with the external atmospheric environment; it is located in the upper part of the gearbox.

Backstage

On modern cars, including the new Grants, Kalinas, and Priors, gearboxes with cable drive gears are installed, making gear shifting easy and precise. In Samara: 2114 -2113-2115 the gear drive is carried out not by a cable, but by a rocker.

Backstage

The slide is a development from the 80s, so the gears may not engage the first time, may not engage well, etc.

On sports tuned cars they often install a “short-throw” rocker.

The essence of the short-throw shifter is that the path of the gearshift lever from neutral to gear becomes shorter than it was before. Simply put: the gears are easier to engage, the lever travel is shorter, which gives a significant advantage when shifting.

Main couple

The main pair is the main shaft of the box (main gear). The main pair serves to reduce the speed transmitted from the engine. On average, the main pair reduces the number of revolutions by 4 times: the engine spins 4 thousand. rpm - main pair 1 thousand. rpm The main pair as standard has a gear ratio: 3.7. By changing the main pair, you can significantly change the dynamics of the car. Depending on the size of the main pair, you can change the length of all gears, hence the maximum speed and acceleration. (By the way, the nine has a 3.9 main pair, due to this it has a lower maximum speed, but is faster at acceleration).

VAZ 2114 gearbox shift diagram

In comparison with other classic models, the “four” received a gearbox with some shortcomings. The presence of a cable in the design makes the control a little loose, especially if there is wear on the parts of the unit. To properly drive a car, you need to understand the switching pattern. In 2114 this scheme is quite simple. Switching five gears occurs according to the classical principle. Reverse gear is engaged with additional effort to the left. The diagram of the VAZ 2114 gearbox, applied to the control knob, allows you to understand the principle of switching on the speeds.

Even with this simple engraving, the driver will understand by what principle the transmission control in the car works. The VAZ 2114 gearbox switching diagram is as follows:

The presented VAZ 2114 gearbox diagram is applicable to all models of the first and second Samar families. The main thing you need to know when trying to drive the 2114 for the first time is how to engage reverse gear. Reverse gear is engaged by moving to the left all the way.

When manipulating the gearbox, you should be careful, because On worn-out gearboxes, you can mistakenly engage first gear. The manual transmission on a VAZ 2114 in good condition shifts easily, but if the rocker is worn out, control becomes seriously difficult.

Gearbox device VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115, VAZ 2113, Lada Samara 2

The Lada Samara 2 is equipped with a five-speed gearbox VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115, combined with a differential and final drive.

Gearbox: 1 – clutch release bearing; 2 – guide sleeve; 3 – input shaft; 4 – roller bearing of the secondary shaft; 5 – secondary shaft; 6 – retaining ring; 7 – satellite axis; 8 – speedometer drive drive gear; 9 – transport plug; 10 – wheel drive oil seal; 11 – tapered roller bearing of the differential; 12 – axle gear; 13 – satellite; 14 – differential box; 15 – clutch housing; 16 – driven gear of the main gear; 17 – drain plug; 18 – adjusting ring; 19 – driven gear of the 1st gear of the secondary shaft; 20 – synchronizer for 1st and 2nd gears; 21 – driven gear of the second gear of the secondary shaft; 22 – retaining ring; 23 – persistent half ring; 24 – driven gear of the third gear of the secondary shaft; 25 – synchronizer for 3rd and 4th gears; 26 – driven gear of the fourth gear of the secondary shaft; 27 – needle bearing of the secondary shaft gears; 28 – ball bearing of the secondary shaft; 29 – thrust plate; 30 – driven gear V of the secondary shaft transmission; 31 – 5th gear synchronizer assembly; 32 – nut; 33 – thrust washer; 34 – drive gear V of the input shaft; 35 – rear cover of the gearbox housing; 36 – ball bearing of the input shaft; 37 – gearbox housing; 38 – roller bearing of the input shaft; 39 – breather; 40 – input shaft oil seal

VAZ 2114 gearbox design

Although there are obvious flaws in the design, but during normal operation this unit works for quite a long time. Considering that many do not observe the transmission oil change interval or periodically “stick” the speed incorrectly, the survivability of the gearbox at fourteen is high. To understand the principle of operation or do-it-yourself repair, you need to know the structure of the unit. The photo below shows a diagram of the unit.

In brief, we can list the main components of the design:

Oil sump;
Case cover;
Gear shafts;
Gears;
Differential;
Transmission parts (numbers).

If the first generation Samara could have 4-speed gearboxes, then the 4-speed gearboxes are only equipped with 5-speed gearboxes from the factory. To keep the unit in working condition, it is necessary to periodically carry out repairs and maintenance. Replacement of oil seals, synchronizers, transmission oil, bearings - all this must be carried out in a timely manner. A serviced transmission allows you to operate the car without unnecessary difficulties.

If the owner wishes, modifications can be made to the transmission design. To increase dynamics and better gear ratios, shafts or some gears are changed. With minor modifications you can get rid of the classic “howl” and noise.

Inspection and repair

After dismantling, parts and assemblies are cleaned and their condition is checked.
The crankcase and clutch should be free of chips and cracks. The sliding surfaces are inspected for signs of wear or damage. The bearing clearance should not be more than 0.05 mm. The wear of the seals should not exceed 1 mm. The teeth and landing shafts must be free of chips, cracks and nicks. The shafts must not have any dents. If defects are found, the parts should be replaced with new ones. If you need to replace the VAZ 2114 gearbox, you can save money and install a rebuilt unit. It will cost 30-70% less than new. If you decide to make such a purchase, choose only proven companies that have been operating on the market for more than one year.
