How to adjust the clutch on VAZ cars of different models

Every driver should know how to adjustclutch on your car. This procedure should be carried out in the event that the disc and the clutch basket change, as well as excessive wear of these elements. The movement of the car on the highway is almost always at a constant speed, the gearbox is rarely switched.

But when driving around the city you have to constantlystop, decrease or increase the speed, the clutch pedal is squeezed out several times dozens of times in one minute. At the same time, there is a significant wear of both the drive mechanism and the clutch elements.

Hydraulic drive

There are two types of drives that receiveddistribution in passenger cars. The first - hydraulic, which includes the working and master cylinders. They are connected by means of a flexible tube in which the brake fluid is located. The driver of the pedal creates pressure in the system, the piston of the master cylinder moves under the action of the rod inward.

On the working cylinder, the rod extendsout and acts on the clutch fork. At the same time, the disk is disconnected from the working surface of the clutch basket, as a result of which the gearbox is disconnected from the engine. Such drive designs were widely used on VAZ cars of the classic series - model 2101-2107. Quite a complex design for him, the probability of breakage is much higher than that of a cable.

Rope drive

Clutch mechanism traction systemvery simple in design, there is practically nothing to break down in it. At the core is a flexible cable that connects the clutch fork and pedal. It is silicone-coated on the outside, which ensures maximum mobility.

Widely used on all cars VAZ,starting with model 2108. Before adjusting the clutch to the VAZ, it is necessary to find out which drive is installed on the car. For this, it is enough to know the model of your car.

Pedal adjustment with hydraulic drive

In order to adjust the pedal position, the following steps must be taken:

In the place of connection of the pedal and the master cylinder rod there is an adjusting nut. It must be loosened to correct the position of the pedal.
Rotating the nut, you want to reduce the free travel of the clutch pedal.
Since you can adjust the clutch pedal by adjusting the position of the rod on the working cylinder, it is desirable to do this.
Loosen the lock nut, then rotate the adjusting, achieving a minimum free stroke. The allowable value is less than 160 mm.

The whole adjustment is done empirically - the number of revolutions that need to be done to reduce the free wheeling may be different, it all depends on the condition of the car and its systems.

Please note that in the expansion tank must be filled with fresh brake fluid, and clearly in the level. Otherwise, the drive mechanism will not work.

Adjusting the clutch type

This drive is used on cars withleading front wheels. These are "nine", "tens" and more new "Grants" and "Priora". A small instruction on how to properly adjust the clutch on vehicles with a similar drive:

Loosen the two wires on the "17" by fixing the cable to the bracket located on the gearbox.
The outer nut must be twisted to increase the overall length of the cable.
Again, the adjustment is done empirically. Made a few turns - fixed the position of the second nut and checked the free running of the pedal.
If the free play does not decrease, then you need to repeat the setup procedure.
At the end of all work, you need to tighten the inner nut properly, put on the rubber boot.

It is desirable to make a timely replacementcable, because it can tear at the most inopportune moment. The outer nut can not be rotated during tightening - it is with its help that the length of the cable is adjusted.

Replacement of the drive cable

Since adjusting the adhesion to the wornthe drive cable is unlikely to work, it is desirable to install a new element. Its cost in stores is about 250 rubles. But after the replacement, even the old "nine" can not yield to any budget foreign car. The clutch pedal will be very light, which will improve the handling of the car.

To replace the cable, you need to do the following:

Turn on the speed on the gearbox and place the wheel chocks under the rear wheels.
Remove the cable from the clutch fork.
Unscrew the two nuts to release the cable from the bracket.
Disconnect the cable from the bracket. He does not hold anything back.
Disconnect the second end of the cable from the pedal. To do this, remove the lock washer.

After this you can completely remove the entire driveclutch and replace it in the reverse order. After installation, it is absolutely necessary to adjust the free travel of the pedal. This will improve the controllability of the car.
