Short-stroke rocker for VAZ 2110: installation, replacement of cardan

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.

This is what the installed short-stroke rocker looks like on a VAZ 2110 car.

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.

What is a rocker and why is it in a checkpoint?

The rocker is a special lever, thanks to which the force of the person changing the gear comes from the lever to the driveshaft. It is an integral part of both manual and automatic transmissions. The standard rocker, which is installed at the factory, is quite long, so a large amplitude is required to change gears. For many drivers, this turns out to be not very convenient, especially for those who prefer a sporty type of driving and cars with high power.

The short-throw rocker has long been used on sports cars, and has now lost its prerogative to be used only in sports cars - an increasing number of car owners are trying to install it on their cars. It has completely different bending angles, which allows you to reduce the lever stroke and speed up the engagement of the desired gear. In addition to speed, car owners who replaced the standard version with a short-throw version also note an increased clarity in engaging the desired gear.

If you don’t take into account expensive foreign cars, the products of the domestic automobile industry have recently significantly improved in quality. But despite the fact that the latest VAZ models are distinguished by good characteristics of the suspension and the engine itself, when operating on broken road surfaces, the gearbox is the first to be affected. This is due to the fact that it is an extremely loaded and involved dynamic complex of the car. Therefore, after a relatively short period of time, the gear change lever in the cabin begins to vibrate very strongly.

Main differences

This variation of this part has a shorter length. The starting stroke length depends on the length of the gear under the joint, therefore, in order to reduce the stroke length, you need to increase the gear length. Such actions will lead to shorter gears, while the traction axis will remain in its original state. After such an upgrade, the transmission will have to put in more effort when shifting gears. In addition to changing the rocker, to achieve greater clarity in gear shifting, you can also install a backlash-free cardan.

What will you need to upgrade this part?

• Grinder, cutting wheel (a hacksaw for metal is also suitable);
• metal pieces;
• welding machine with electrodes;
• cardan;

Backstage replacement and repair

Which pump to install on the car
Taking into account the fact that during the operation of the 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 link with a standard new one or a short-stroke one. . In any case, you must first disassemble the mechanism

To do this you will need:

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.

If the bushing is deformed, it must be replaced. In the event that the cardan is loose, as well as in a situation where the hole in the lever axis is worn out, a complete replacement of the link will be required, that is, a repair kit will not be able to solve the problem.

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.

Next, you should press in a new oil seal (in home-made conditions, installation is carried out using a stopper from a plastic bottle). If the oil seal is installed successfully, you can proceed to reassembling the entire mechanism, not forgetting to put the boot in place.

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.

Signs of breakdown

In fact, it is not difficult to determine that the backstage is the culprit of all the troubles. After all, there are a number of characteristic signs that indicate this.

You can prepare to work on adjusting or replacing the rocker if:

• The first gear does not want to stubbornly engage or disengage, or move to another position;
• When you engage first gear, initially the gearshift knob behaves normally, but then the box spontaneously jumps into reverse gear;
• You cannot engage first and/or fifth gear, while changing to other speeds is no problem.

At the first sign of a problem, you should go to a service station or your own garage to have the problem repaired.

Sign of breakdown	Explanation
There is play on the gear lever	Most likely the linkage is worn out. In this situation, the problem can only be solved by replacing the worn element
The ringing of the scenes	It occurs most often when there are problems with the gearbox on a VAZ 2110. The ringing can be caused by defects in factory production, or by poor-quality repairs
It’s hard to engage the gearbox, it gets knocked out	In such a situation, you can try two methods - adjustment and replacement. If the adjustment does not help, change the element
Instead of first gear, reverse gear is engaged	Everything is fine with the lever, but the rocker let you down. Make a replacement. Although repairs using a repair kit can also help
Lever vibrates excessively	Check the condition of your transmission handle joints. Most likely, there was a serious backlash in them

Replacing the gearbox ball joint race

First, we unscrew the torque rod from the ball joint (in common parlance a butterfly), then the “butterfly” itself from the car body. The exhaust system will interfere a little.

Next, you will need to remove the gear knob: first the cover (by picking it up around the perimeter with a flat-head screwdriver), and then the gear knob itself (by pulling it up from the lever). Unscrew the locking bolt.

We unscrew the bolt connecting the rocker and the gearshift lever. Remove the bolt while holding the gearshift lever in the up-right position.

From the bottom of the car, remove the “butterfly” along with the gearshift lever. We release the gearshift lever by removing the retaining ring of the hinge cage.

This is what the old gearshift lever joint cage looks like:

Installing the gearshift lever joint cage begins with removing the retaining ring. Then we take out the plastic sleeve and lubricate it with lithol. We put it on the gearshift lever, and then insert it into the holder and the locking ring.

Then we install everything in the reverse order, not forgetting to put the rubber boot on the joint cage. First, we install the bolt connecting the rocker and the gearbox lever, and then we screw the “butterfly” to the bottom of the car.

Backstage adjustment

Lada 2108 Razvedchitsa 086 USSR Logbook Installing gearbox linkage

After the installation procedure, adjustment of the VAZ backstage is necessary. This is necessary to eliminate possible problems with gear shifting. The adjustment can be done either with the help of an assistant or independently, but the latter option will require considerable patience. To adjust the VAZ 2110 gearbox rocker you will need:

• standard set of tools;
• a brush with metal bristles for cleaning joints;
• cotton gloves;
• new backstage repair kit.

So, to start adjusting the rocker, you need to drive the car into the inspection hole and start the reverse gear. It must be remembered that in case of problems with inclusion, use the main gear. Then you need to clean the areas where the bolts are attached with a wire brush and wipe with a rag.

Next, unscrew the bolts and turn the electric drive to the left until it stops at the reverse gear pin. Screw in the bolts and evaluate the work by performing an inspection. If the lever stroke does not correspond to important characteristics, carry out secondary adjustment in neutral gear:

• the lever is set to an intermediate position;
• the electric drive of the rod is turned to the left, after selecting the gear, the adjusting pin should fall into the opening of the rod;
• the cladding panel is removed from the lever;
• secured with a bolt.

Adjustment

Now let's talk about how you can adjust the link if it shows primary signs of malfunction.

1. First of all, try by hook or by crook to engage first gear.
2. Place the car on an overpass, turn on the handbrake, place additional supports under the wheels to avoid the car moving.
3. Do not turn off first gear on the transmission.
4. At the bottom, find the clamp that holds the rocker and secures it. To do this you will have to crawl under the hood. You shouldn't have any problems finding the gearbox. The clamp needs to be loosened.
5. Now return to the salon. Your task is to move the box lever as far as possible to the left. If you start to pull the handle forward or backward, the drawstring will most likely come off. You don't need it.
6. Get back under the car and tighten the clamp back.
7. In many cases, simply shifting the rocker relative to the cardan shaft by literally a few millimeters is enough.

When adjusting, pay attention to the condition of the cardan shaft. It may require replacement if worn out

Finalization

Now many owners of the VAZ 2110 are discussing the possibility of refining and improving the gearbox by replacing the rocker from a standard one to a short-throw one.

The short walk is the result of independent tuning. Decide for yourself whether to carry out such work or not. But from the point of view of the efficiency of the gearbox, installing a short-throw rocker is only beneficial, since gears begin to shift more clearly.

To install a short walker for yourself, it is not necessary to completely dismantle the standard version.

To do this you need to perform several operations:

• You just need to disassemble the ball joint from the outside;
• Next, the metal ring of the support is opened and the legs made of plastic are spread apart;
• This is how the ball will come out;
• Now the rod is disconnected from the support, and a small piece of pipe and a piece of sheet metal of good strength are welded to the rod;
• Be sure to lift up the hinge with the hook, otherwise erroneous switching of speeds will not be avoided.

Installing a short drive will entail the need to apply more force when engaging a particular gear. But on the other hand, switching becomes clear and smooth. Therefore, decide for yourself which option would be better for you - standard or short-stroke.

Video instruction

Many inexperienced drivers begin to panic and talk about a breakdown of the gearbox, although in fact the culprit of the problem is the rocker.

Practice shows that replacement and repair are rare and not very common measures. Much more often, the current situation forces you to simply adjust the scenes.

But today we will talk not only about adjustment, but also talk about the features of modification, repair and replacement of this element.

Element location

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.

By holding the lever, it will prevent vibration from occurring. When performing such repairs, it is not necessary to disassemble parts of the car. A more reliable way would be to install a rubber or plastic washer. It will take a little longer, but the effect will be more effective. To make a repair, the following is required:

• soft plastic, you can use a regular glass jar lid;
• file;
• scissors;
• screwdriver;
• keys for “10” and “13”.

This repair involves removing the casing from the gearshift lever and lifting it up; the lever itself does not need to be removed. Afterwards, you need to unscrew the nut, using the Phillips bit to unscrew the screw. You can use a screwdriver and push it through the side of the tunnel. Then unscrew two more nuts with a “10” wrench. Cut out a washer from plastic. The most important thing remains, you need to insert these washers into the mechanism.

The process itself will not be easy, since the hole is very small. The washers are inserted along the left and right sides of the bushing. It will have to be sharpened; the thickness of the washer is only 1.5 mm. Place oil-resistant rubber rings onto the bushing axle on both sides. The parts need to be slightly compressed. This repair will allow you not to hear the ringing noise for a long time, and the speeds will switch much smoother.

Remember: the tighter the nut on the gear shift knob is tightened, the harder it moves. All these types of manipulations can more likely be attributed to masking defects rather than repairs. The main thing is to find the cause of the vibration. You may have to replace the entire repair kit for the rocker or modify the linkage joint.

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.

Short-stroke rocker VAZ 2114 replacement and installation

VAZ models received one unpleasant feature: with age, backlashes appear in some parts of the car. We are talking about the transmission, engine, and gearbox. There is no need to wait until all the parts of the unit wear out, since a complete replacement will cost more than modernization. In this article we will talk about tuning the gearbox, or more precisely, about installing a short-stroke shifter (SC) instead of the standard one. Here, VAZ 2114 owners have three options: installing a freelance rocker, making the part with their own hands, and also adjusting the standard unit.

Important! Defects in the operation of the gearbox may appear due to the oil seal, the “symptoms” of which are similar to the rocker. A visual inspection is enough to determine whether the seal is working or not.

The analysis can be performed according to the scheme from this article.

The short-throw rocker reduces gear shifting time, which is why this part was originally only found in sports cars. Subsequently, almost all automakers included a short-throw rocker in the design of their cars. AvtoVAZ lagged behind foreign cars a little, so the first model of the company with this part was the Lada Kalina, so if you install a freelance element, then it’s from the Kalina.

Pros and cons of a short-throw rocker

There is a stereotype among drivers that installing KK leads to the fact that when changing gears you can easily miss the right one. There is a problem, but it arises due to the wrong approach to modernizing the car. In addition to the rocker, it is necessary to install a new gearbox driveshaft. The best solution would be a part from the Lada Kalina, since the cardan in new models is not subject to play. Even if the CC is made by hand, the cardan must be installed from the factory.

The next stereotype is that such modernization quickly destroys the gearbox. We are talking about the second gear, which wears out equally with both a regular part and a short-throw one. This problem has been present in Samara since the VAZ 2109. The third stereotype is this: when installing the rocker in the gearbox, you need to file down the plastic in the dashboard. If a high-quality homemade CC or a part from Kalina is installed, then no manipulations with the plastic are necessary. It is also recommended to install sports synchronizers along with the CC, since the load on them increases after such tuning.

Installation of CC and cardan from Lada Kalina

The best solution would be to buy parts from Kalina, but some drivers prefer to take KK from a VAZ 2114, that is, a “native” part. In addition to the standard set of tools, you will also need a grinder. Replacement is carried out as follows:

1. Inside the car, it is necessary to remove the platform, which blocks access to the transmission and gearbox parts. The platform is held in place by 5 bolts;
2. From the bottom of the car, loosen the clamp that presses the cardan and the rocker; Unscrew the 5 bolts holding the backstage platform
3. You need to remove the boot from the gearbox hinge and remove the mount;
4. Further, the installation depends on which rocker was chosen as a replacement - the standard one from the VAZ 2109-2114 or from Kalina. After installing the standard CC and cardan from the Kulisa, the part may not fit into the seat. This can be corrected with the help of an angle grinder;
5. The size of the cardan is best determined by the standard element. After the adjustment, you need to check whether the short-stroke linkage is hitting the body. If everything is installed correctly, then you need to tighten the clamp;
6. The next step is to adjust the new part, which is done in reverse speed. It is necessary to switch the gearbox to reverse gear and set the lever to the R gear position. It is best to place the lever closer to the driver's seat. Done, the replacement is complete, now the tuning can be checked on the road. Now you can safely remove the remaining two bolts in the lower linkage mount

Instructions for making a CC with your own hands

It’s worth making the rocker yourself if you have experience in repairing and upgrading car parts. A high-quality short-stroke rocker will work no worse than the unit from the Lada Kalina. For manufacturing you will need the following elements:

• RPP from VAZ 2114.
• Axle and bushings from 2114 (included in the gearbox repair kit).
• Tube with a diameter of 15 millimeters.
• Ball nut.
• Cardan from Lada Kalina.

The first step is to cut off the ball from the RPP, the lower edge of which should be cleaned under the pipe. Next you need to weld a 15mm pipe. A regular nut should be welded to its lower edge, and a ball nut should be welded to it. The cardan from Kalina must be attached to the gearshift lever. Parts such as bushings and axles are simply replaced with new ones from the VAZ 2114 (preferably they should be new).

do-it-yourself short-throw rocker for classics

12.05.2014,

Article Category |

Today I will tell you how to install a short-throw slide on your classic. In order to move the box lever, we first need to cut it off as shown in the picture:

it should turn out like this

We will no longer need the part of the lever that we cut off. Next, we need to make sure that the reverse gear is engaged without retracting the lever, otherwise, with the lever moved, we will not be able to engage reverse gear. In order for us to engage reverse gear, we need to remove the plate from the rocker

To do this, unscrew the two fastening bolts and remove it. What else do we need to install the backstage? Steering rod from Izh od (but not necessary, if you don’t have it, you can use something similar) you need to weld a VAZ 2108 bushing to it (it’s also not necessary to use the VAZ 2108 bushing, you can take something similar to it)

The next step is to make a pipe like this with a welded fork:

And make a cut as seen in the picture. Next we will need an eight-point drawstring, we will need to make an undercut in it

Next, the whole thing needs to be connected. This is what the final result of a short-throw slide on a classic will look like

In addition, I’m posting a video that talks in more detail about installing the backstage on the classic. Ask any questions you are interested in in the comments.

Price issue

If you decide to replace the rocker seal at the same time as installing the rocker itself, this can be considered absolutely the right thing to do. Additionally, replacing the driveshaft will not cost much, but the efficiency of such a comprehensive repair will be much higher.

Short walker

Actions on your own, you only have to purchase the necessary parts and ordinary consumables. If you contact a car service, the minimum cost of the service will be 800-1000 rubles. That is, the savings are obvious.

The curtain itself costs about 400 rubles. From here it becomes clear why we did not advise buying a repair kit, but rather completely replacing the part. There will be no savings as such, but the difference as a result of the repair will be significant.

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:

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

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

1. Loosen the clamp.
2. Engage reverse gear and position the lever as you would like it to be in this position.
3. 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.

1. Turn on first speed.
2. Loosen the rocker clamp.
3. Turn the rocker drive counterclockwise until the gearshift lever begins to rest against the plastic reverse speed stop.
4. 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.

It would seem that such an element as the backstage cannot be modified or modernized, because everything here is extremely simple. However, tuning is also possible here, we’ll talk about this in this article, and as an example we will have a VAZ-2110 car. Many car owners prefer to change the standard rocker because it has too long a stroke; instead, they install a short-stroke one. This is good because the clarity of switching improves and less time is spent on it, but at the same time, car enthusiasts for some reason forget that the rocker needs adjustment.

If there is no adjustment, the driver will soon feel difficulty changing gears. It is recommended to do the work together with an assistant, although, if desired, you can do everything alone.

In this case, the owner of the “ten” replaced the rocker, did not adjust it, and had problems when shifting from reverse to fifth gear. The adjustment can be done in different ways; we will consider several options with you.

1. In the first case, the adjustment is made in reverse gear. We switch the box to reverse mode, then climb under the car and tighten the clamp. That's it, the work is finished, the problem is solved. But what to do if it is impossible to switch to reverse gear? For this we have the following method.

2. Here the “ten” link is adjusted when first gear is engaged. We switch the gearshift knob to first speed, unscrew the bolts securing the rocker clamp, to do this you will have to crawl under the car. Next, the drive must be rotated counterclockwise. We twist until the gearshift lever collides with the plastic rear speed lock. Now you just need to tighten the clamp bolts and the setup is complete.

Do you want to adjust the transmission neutral position? Then you will have to calculate the fit of the rocker on the “tens” cardan. So, we learned that when replacing the rocker, it is imperative to adjust it so that in the future there will be no problems with switching gears. Moreover, we learned to do it ourselves, and this saves us money. However, if you are a specialist and have done such work for the first time in your life, then it will not be easy to assemble the mechanism perfectly.

Very often, after self-upgrading, extraneous sounds appear in the gearbox. Some people don't pay any attention to the rattling noise and drown it out with music, but we're not one of those people, so we need to eliminate the cause of the sound. The problem can be solved quite simply; all you need to do is buy a spring and put it on the slide. This spring will hold the gearbox and the formation of unpleasant noise will stop. Let's go back to the adjustment once again and repeat how to do it:

1. Set the gearbox to neutral position.

2. Turn the gear selector rod counterclockwise. We do this until the adjusting pin fits into the hole in the rod.

3. Remove the gear lever trim.

4. After fixing the gearshift knob and the gear selection rod, fix the adjusting bolt.

The travel of the gearbox handle is adjusted individually, this is done by adjusting the length of the link arm.

Diagnosis of the problem

The gearbox linkage in a car is necessary so that the unit cannot independently change gears as a result of the simultaneous movement of the sliders. This mechanism requires careful care, as well as periodic and high-quality adjustments. If the adjustment is performed poorly or some time has passed, this may manifest itself while the car is moving and the driver will feel discomfort.

In practice, as a result of constant use of a car with a rocker drive that requires adjustment, the vehicle may be at risk of breaking the entire transmission system. Therefore, attention should be paid to the quality of the unit’s operation and problems that arise during operation should not be neglected.

To understand that in your VAZ 2110 you need to adjust the rocker shaft, you just need to pay attention to the operation of the gearbox unit. Symptoms of the malfunction will be as follows:

• There were problems with engaging first gear. In particular, it will be impossible to turn on the gearshift lever, and sometimes it will be impossible to switch from first speed to second.
• Instead of first gear, reverse gear is engaged. Imagine: you are about to start moving and engage first gear, but instead your vehicle starts moving backwards. Perhaps after switching to “neutral” the problem will disappear, but over time it may happen again. In this case, in 98% of cases the problem lies precisely in the rocker shaft, that is, this has nothing to do with the speed lever.
• There may be problems with engaging first and fifth speeds. At the same time, all transmissions will work normally.

Modification and short-stroke rocker on the VAZ 2110

It should be noted that many car enthusiasts, even on the new VAZ 2110, modified the rocker for a number of reasons. On the one hand, this makes the mechanism more durable, and on the other hand, it makes gear shifting easier and simplifies operation.

You can get the desired result by trying to modify the standard backstage, but this is often difficult and not always justified. It is easier and cheaper to immediately replace the factory mechanism, while replacing the rocker is not an expensive procedure.

More precisely, we are talking about a short-stroke rocker. So, in this case you need to approach this issue rationally

It is important to understand that a short-stroke rocker is a solution made in artisanal conditions or in mini-factories

At the same time, its quality will not always depend on how much a backdrop of this type costs. It happens that more expensive products produced on a small but industrial scale are of worse quality than those made individually to order.

One way or another, a well-chosen and high-quality installed short-throw rocker allows you to obtain the necessary clarity when switching. This increases comfort when operating the car, and also slightly increases the service life of the gearbox, since clearer engagements mean coordinated operation of all mechanisms.

To replace the rocker, it is not necessary to remove the entire mechanism. The main task is to disassemble the ball joint from the outside (unclench the steel ring of the support, spread the plastic legs and remove the ball). Then you should disconnect the rod from the support, and then use welding to weld a piece of pipe and a piece of sheet metal to the rod.

You will also need to lift up the hinge with the hook. This will avoid failures and unclear gear shifts. If everything is done correctly, the short-throw rocker will require more effort when engaged, but the smoothness and clarity of gear engagement will be noticeably improved.

Let's sum it up

As you can see, if problems arise with shifting gears, replacing the rocker on a VAZ 2110 is a last resort. In fact, problems can often be resolved by setting up and adjusting the rocker, as well as overhauling the mechanism and replacing individual worn parts (you need a VAZ 2110 rocker repair kit).

Before starting disassembly, it is important to make sure that the gears are difficult to engage precisely because of malfunctions of the backstage. The fact is that malfunctions of the clutch or the gearbox itself can also have similar symptoms

For this reason, it is important to make sure that it is the gear shift mechanism that needs revision or replacement.

As a result, I would like to add that in some cases, only replacing the backstage with a short-stroke one allows you to obtain the desired clarity and smoothness of inclusions. In this case, you should give up trying to repair and modify the standard version and start looking for a separate ready-made solution.
