Replacing and adjusting the clutch cable on a VAZ 2108, VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099

Welcome! Today in this article we will look at the correct replacement of the clutch cable. And also after replacing the cable with a new one, we will describe in detail the steps by which you can adjust this clutch cable.

Summary:

Where is the clutch cable located? Part of the cable is located inside the car, that is, to be more precise, it is connected to the clutch pedal. And the second part of the cable is located on the left side of the engine compartment, for clarity, see the photo below:

Note! The cable, as you already understand, is indicated by three red arrows!

• The arrow under the number “1” indicates the place where the cable continues to move immediately after exiting the hole in the front part of the body.
• And the arrow numbered “3” shows the place where the tip of the cable sheath is screwed to the bracket.

When do you need to change and adjust the clutch cable?

It must be replaced if: • It breaks, if it is deformed and for other reasons that will also be associated with the cable.

Note! Before the cable breaks, it will begin to make various sounds by which you can determine that the cable already needs to be replaced, and the sounds will be like crackling, crunching, etc.

It is subject to adjustment if: • The clutch pedal moves incorrectly, that is, if the pedal moves too little or too much, which does not correspond to the norm.

• It also needs to be adjusted if the clutch pedal is located at a different level with the brake pedal, which also does not correspond to the norm.

Where is the VAZ 2109 clutch cable located?

Part of the cable is attached to the clutch pedal. While the second part of the cable is attached to the left side of the engine compartment.

The AvtoVAZ clutch cable is one of the main components of the mechanical drive; it is the connecting element of the pedal and fork. The clutch cable itself is placed in a sheath that is protective from mechanical influences. When the driver presses the pedal, force is applied through the clutch cable to the lever transmission. The latter facilitates the movement of the fork and also allows for optimal clutch release.

Where is the VAZ 2109 clutch cable located?

The cable is a very capricious and unpredictable detail. It can work for years, but sometimes it doesn’t last even a week or two. It starts to creak or even breaks. Most questions about why this happens should be asked to the manufacturer who did not manufacture this part well. Naturally, no one is immune from such an unpleasant surprise.

How to replace the clutch cable on a VAZ 2108-VAZ 21099?

Removal: 1) First, using two wrenches, loosen both nuts that secure the cable sheath to the bracket.

2) After this, slightly lift the cable with your hand and remove it from the socket.

3) Next, disconnect the clutch cable lead (Indicated by the red arrow) from the release fork (Blue arrow).

4) When the cable is disconnected from everything in the engine compartment, then go into the car interior, and then use a screwdriver to pry the pedal pin bracket and then remove it.

5) Now disconnect the upper end of the cable from the pedal pin.

6) And as a result, going back to the engine compartment, pull the clutch cable out through the front panel.

Note! The new clutch cable is installed in the reverse order of removal. But just below we have specially prepared instructions on how to install a new clutch cable!

1) In the same way, first insert the new cable through the holes in the shield.

2) After this, in the cabin, install the upper end of the cable on the pedal pin, and secure the whole thing with a locking bracket.

3) In the engine compartment, first place the cable lead on the fork. Then insert the cable between the bracket and then tighten both nuts securing the tip of the cable sheath.

Note! After completing the operation, adjust the clutch cable!

Clutch cable adjustment:

Use two wrenches to make adjustments. Using them, loosen both nuts that secure the end of the cable sheath. And then, by rotating these nuts, tighten the cable so that the clutch pedal travel is “125–135 mm”, and so that it is flush with the brake pedal.

Replacing the clutch cable on VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 cars

Such malfunctions in the clutch operation as “the clutch is moving” and “the clutch is slipping” can happen due to a failed clutch drive cable (it is pulled out or frayed and stuck in the sheath).

In addition, a faulty clutch cable can cause the clutch to completely fail to operate (for example, a broken cable tip). On VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 cars this is one of the most common malfunctions. In any case, the faulty clutch cable must be replaced.

The procedure for replacing the clutch cable of VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099

Remove the old clutch cable.

— Disconnect the end of the cable sheath from the bracket on the clutch housing

To do this, loosen the tightening of the nut (lock nut) securing the end of the cable sheath to the bracket (you will need two 17mm wrenches). And remove the tip of the cable sheath from the slot in the bracket.

Loosen the locknut

— Disconnect the cable lead from the clutch release fork lever

— Disconnect the cable end from the clutch pedal

To do this, use pliers to pull out the spring retaining bracket from the pin on the pedal and remove the cable tip. There is a polyethylene sleeve on the finger; if possible, do not lose it.

— We remove the clutch cable through the hole in the front panel of the engine compartment

Installing a new clutch cable.

Removing the clutch cable

— The cable is installed in the reverse order

It is threaded through a hole in the shield, the tip of the cable is attached to the pin on the pedal, the leash is hooked onto the fork lever, the tip of the sheath is inserted into the slot on the bracket and secured with nuts.

After installing a new clutch cable, it is necessary to adjust its tension (See “Adjusting the clutch drive”).

Notes and additions

According to the technical regulations on VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 vehicles, periodic checks and maintenance of the clutch drive are carried out once every 30,000 km, but it is recommended to reduce this interval to once every 15,000 km.

Malfunctions and reasons for their occurrence

But this type of drive is also not eternal and problems with it will only be a matter of time.

Over time, the cable threads corrode and break, which is why at one point when you press the clutch pedal, it remains in the depressed position and does not return to its original position.

For the same reason, it happens that pressing the pedal and returning it is difficult, and a grinding noise can be heard. This is a consequence of the “fluffing” of the cable - rotted metal threads rest against the braid, significantly complicating movement.

All these malfunctions occur for one simple reason - moisture gets inside the braid, which leads to corrosion.

And although manufacturers are trying to combat this problem by applying a polyethylene protective layer over the cable, such measures can only extend the service life.

And here, too, everything is simple - while moving, the cable rubs against the braid and over time the protective layer wears off. Lubricating the cable also provides only temporary protection.

Corrosion is not necessarily the cause of the burst. Very sharp squeezing of the pedal, for example, during a difficult traffic situation when the driver kicks it with all his might, can also lead to destruction of the cable.

In any case, if problems arise with the drive, the cable must be replaced, since it cannot be repaired.

Note that the cause of the failure of the clutch pedal can be not only the cable, therefore, if such a malfunction occurs, first of all you need to make sure that the drive has broken.

The fact is that there are cases when the clutch release bearing control mechanism breaks, which is a much worse problem than the destruction of the cable. After all, in case of such a malfunction, you will have to remove the gearbox from the car in order to repair the mechanism.

But a cable break is a malfunction that can be very easily eliminated if you have a spare element.

And since such a problem on a VAZ can appear at any time, it is recommended to always carry a new cable with you in the trunk.

VAZ 2109: replacing the clutch cable yourself

Clutch cable for VAZ 2109

Replacing the clutch cable on a VAZ 2109 is a relevant and in-demand matter. The fact is that replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2109 helps eliminate several problems at once, which will be discussed below.

Reasons for replacement

Typically, on a VAZ 2109, replacing the clutch cable is necessary if:

• The clutch is not working properly. That is, it is difficult for the driver to press the clutch pedal, as a result of which the car is difficult to start.
• The gearbox is also acting up. In addition to the fact that it is difficult to switch, it also makes sounds that are not entirely understandable during its operation.
• The clutch pedal has fallen down and does not return to its original position.

Note: however, these “symptoms” may indicate the presence of other problems, so a complete diagnosis of the car is necessary.

Replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2109

All this appears due to the fact that the cable has either broken or fallen off the fork. In the first case, it will need to be replaced. In the second case, you can simply put it in its place, holding it at the same time so that it does not fly off again in the future.

Note: It is better if the cable breaks rather than the fork breaking. Indeed, in some cases, the pedal fails due to a faulty fork, and replacing it costs much more than replacing a cable (a new cable costs about 200 rubles, and a new fork costs about 2000 rubles)

Replacing the clutch cable on a VAZ 2109

Replacing the clutch cable with removing the frill is accompanied by the following actions:

• Raise the car on a jack, otherwise it will simply be impossible to see the clutch cable itself.
• Unscrew the fastening nut.

Note: you need to look for it directly under the pedal.

• On the pedal rod there is a ring with a corkscrew ring.
• You need to remove the cable. However, this may cause problems with the cotter pin that holds it.
• To remove it, you need to find an 8 key, with which you can easily perform this manipulation.

• After this, the cable can be easily removed, but it is still attached to the attachment point, so it cannot be removed yet.
• Remove the frill and windshield wiper. Open the hood.
• Under the hood, find the place where the cable is attached. Here you need to unscrew the nut with a 19mm wrench.
• You can leave the old rubber band if it is in good condition. In addition, it is quite difficult to replace it at home, since there are incomprehensible wiring along it (they do not perform any function, so they can be safely removed).
• You need to insert an elastic band into the hole through which the cable passed.

Note: in order not to lose the pin and other bolts, they need to be kept in some kind of box.

• Insert the new cable in place of the old one.
• Under the hood, tighten the fastening bracket.

Interesting. By the way, if the cable breaks right on the road, then it is not necessary to tow the car home. The fact is that it can be started without a clutch. And after that you can even switch speeds. However, you will have to re-gas from time to time.

Replacing the clutch cable without removing the frill

Replace clutch cable VAZ 2109

Replacing the cable without removing the frill is much easier than replacing it, since the second option involves many unnecessary manipulations. To easily replace it at home, you need to:

• ​Unscrew the cable fastening using a 19 mm wrench.
• Remove the cable end from the clutch fork.

Note: Sometimes this action is unnecessary. It depends on the location where the cable was torn.

• In the cabin, under the pedal, you need to find the cable fastening nut. It is very small, so to remove it you will need an 8 key.

VAZ 2109 clutch cable adjustment

• Unhook the bracket that secures the cable end to the clutch pedal. To carry out this action, you should raise the clutch pedal as high as possible, and then use a screwdriver to hook the clip.
• Pull out the clutch cable. You don't need to tug on it too hard. The point is not that it will tear, it is already torn. You can simply damage the “nest” in which it was located. You need to pull it out directly through the interior.

Note: there may be extra wires in the cable channel that will make it difficult to remove the cable. You can safely tear them out, as they do not provide any benefit. Washers under the hood may also be in the way. In this case, they need to be carefully unscrewed.

• Remove the bracket located on the pedal arm. This will make it easier to remove the cable.
• Slowly insert the new cable into the hole through the interior and into the hood.

VAZ 2109 clutch cable

• You need to fasten everything in the reverse order.

Note: the most difficult part will be to put the tip mounting bracket back in its original place. It's not that easy to get there. This is why many people take off their frills.

• However, the mounting bracket can be returned to its place in another way. You should make a clip from a regular paper clip. With its help you need to secure this bracket. If necessary, you can use pliers.
• It is advisable to lubricate the cable with oil or grease at the end (it does not freeze in winter) to make it more elastic.

Adjustment

VAZ 2109 clutch cable

It is mandatory.

Clutch cable adjustment

VAZ 2109 clutch cable

You can adjust the cable like this:

• Loosen the locknut. This will allow the adjusting nut to move.
• Tighten the cable with the tension nut (pull until the machine wobbles). In this case, you can press the clutch from time to time.

Note: It is very important that the cable is tensioned to the optimum distance. After all, if you tighten it, it will break again. At the same time, if it is not reached enough, it will not be adjusted.

Clutch pedal adjustment

The clutch cable on a VAZ 2109 broke

After any manipulation of the clutch pedal, it must be adjusted, otherwise it will jam. To do this you need:

• Unscrew the nut located under the pedal.
• Tighten the locknut, which is located slightly lower.
• After this, tighten the first nut.
• Tighten the rubber washer to the fork as much as possible.

Note: The clutch pedal should be lower than the brake pedal. If it is higher, it will wear out too quickly.

Replacing the clutch cable can be done right at home. That is, everyone can fix this problem with their own hands. The price for home repairs will not hurt your wallet, as it will be significantly lower than what is offered in car services. However, before you start replacing it, you should review a lot of photos and videos on this topic.

Detailed instructions describing this process will also be very helpful.

What will you need?

Another positive quality of the cable drive is the ease of replacement. The whole operation takes about 20 minutes, even for a novice VAZ car owner. Moreover, everything can be done even in the field, with a small number of tools at hand.

For example, let's look at how to replace the clutch cable on a VAZ-2110, and in order to do everything you will need:

• 2 keys for 19;
• 2 keys for 8 and 10;
• Crosshead screwdriver;
• New cable.

All this is enough to carry out the work.

To make it clearer, look at the VAZ 2110 clutch drive diagram.

How to replace the cable on a VAZ-2110?

There are two ways to replace a torn drive, one of which is more time-consuming and requires removing additional elements from the car, but is more convenient.

With the second method, you don’t need to remove anything from the car and everything is done faster, although the ease of execution is worse. At the same time, the algorithm of work for both methods is the same, so let’s look at how everything is done using the first method, it is still more convenient and also does not take much time:

1. We place the car on a flat surface or the side of the road (when performing work on the road) and immobilize it with a handbrake or wheel chocks placed under the wheels. Let's see if the cable is really torn, or if the reason for the failure is a broken release bearing fork. For ease of work in the engine compartment, the battery can be removed from the car;
2. We release the cable in the engine compartment. If it is torn, then you can immediately pull part of it out of the winding simply by disengaging it from the lever with the clutch fork. In the case when the replacement is carried out due to “fluffing”, then first unscrew the nuts securing the cable braid (they are also adjusting) from the mounting bracket located on the gearbox housing.

We take two keys for 19 and loosen them, after which we take them out through the slot. Then we loosen the two nuts (8 and 10) of the clutch release drive and only after that we pull out the tip, for which we press the fork lever with our hands and remove the cable together with the thrust bushing.

Remove the windshield wiper bracket; to do this, unscrew two nuts. Pay attention to which direction the plane of the bracket is directed;

• Since the drive is removed through the passenger compartment, from the part of the cable running in the engine part, we remove everything that can prevent it from being pulled through the technological hole - the thrust bushing, nuts 19 and washers.
• Let's go to the salon. It is necessary to remove the cable end from the mounting rod on the pedal. To do this, we climb under the dashboard and find a fixing plate that keeps the tip from jumping off the rod. It is located under a protective cover.

  To get to it, you will have to hold the pedal in its original position with one hand, and pry the lock with a screwdriver with the other, and this must be done carefully so as not to lose it after removal.

  After this, we remove the tip from the rod. It is also advisable to remove and check the plastic bushing installed on the rod, and if signs of severe wear are noticeable, replace it during assembly;

  Unscrew the nut of the cable braid fastening bracket located under the panel and remove it from the stud;

  We pull the cable into the cabin, and carefully, since on many models wires pass through the technological hole for pulling the drive and it is important not to damage them or tear them away from the contacts;

• We run a new cable through the hole, fasten its bracket, put the tip on the pedal rod and fix it with a plate. If the latch gets lost during the removal process, you can use a thin wire or paperclip;
• We fix the cable braid on the gearbox bracket and then insert the tip with the thrust bushing into the fork lever. At this point, the replacement is completed and all that remains is to make the adjustment;
• Do not forget to lubricate the clutch pedal pin and the driver with LITOL 24 grease or an equivalent.

Replacement

There are two ways to change the clutch cable:

Each option has the right to exist. We will introduce you to the two operations, after which you can choose which method to prefer.

Replacement procedure

Taking off the frill

1. Raise the car using a jack.
2. Unscrew the cable fixing nut. It is located under the clutch pedal.
3. On the pedal rod there is a ring and a locking ring.
4. To remove the cable, you will need to understand the cotter pin that holds it. To dismantle it, take a size 8 wrench and unscrew the cotter pin.
5. It is now partially free as it is still held in place.
6. Remove the frill and windshield wiper, then lift the hood.
7. In the engine compartment, find the cable fixation point. Dismantling is carried out with a 19 mm wrench, which needs to be used to unscrew the nut.
8. An old rubber band is often used if it is not worn out. Yes, and it’s difficult to change it yourself. But if necessary, change it. If you see strange wiring there, feel free to remove them. They do not perform any functions.
9. Insert the rubber band into the hole through which the cable went.
10. Place all fasteners, bolts, and nuts in a separate box so as not to lose them.
11. Install a new cable and tighten the retaining bracket under the hood.

Removing the frill

Without removing the frill

Here the operation is somewhat more complicated, since you will have to bypass the frill. But usually the work takes less time, which is why most VAZ 2109 owners choose this option.

1. Unscrew the clutch cable fastenings using a 19 mm wrench.
2. Remove the cable end from the fork.
3. It is not always necessary to remove the tip from the clutch fork. This largely depends on the location of the cable break.
4. Go into the interior and find the cable fastener under the clutch pedal. It's small, so a key for 8 will come in handy.
5. Unscrew the bracket that holds the tip to the pedal. Try to raise the pedal as high as possible, and then use a flathead screwdriver to hook onto the clip.
6. That's it, the cable can be removed. Just don't pull too hard. And what you should be afraid of here is not that it will completely break. You can damage the cable socket with sudden actions.
7. It is best to remove the cable through the interior.
8. There may be wires in the cable channel that interfere with removal. Pull them out with confidence, as they do not perform any tasks.
9. Also, washers located under the hood may interfere with your work. Just carefully unscrew them and you're done.
10. Remove the bracket from the pedal lever. This way there will be no problems with removing the cable.
11. Carefully insert the new cable into the hole through the interior into the engine compartment.
12. Follow the reverse procedure for assembling the assembly.
13. The most difficult thing is to put the tip fixation bracket in place. It is because of this that many advise removing the frill. But you can work around this difficulty.
14. Make a clip from a regular paper clip. Secure the bracket with it. If necessary, use pliers.
15. When assembling, do not forget to lubricate the cable with grease or oil, which does not freeze at sub-zero temperatures. This will make the element more elastic.

Features of replacement for VAZ-2109

The difference between the VAZ-2109 cable comes down to the presence of a special leash for engagement with the fork lever, which is quite large in size, so the cable is pulled out towards the engine compartment and not the passenger compartment.

We will not consider the entire sequence of replacing the drive on a VAZ-2109, but will only go through the key points. Note that the tools required are the same as those indicated above, and the change is made as follows:

Loosen the nuts securing the braid to the bracket on the gearbox and pull it out. Then we press the lever with our hand and disengage the leash;

Under the dashboard, remove the fixing plate and tip from the rod.

There is no braid mounting bracket under the panel, and the braid simply rests against the rear wall of the engine compartment using a special thrust plate. Therefore, we go to the engine compartment and pull out the cable. Installation of a new drive is performed in the reverse order.

Replacing the clutch cable in a VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099 with your own hands

We will show you how to replace the clutch cable on VAZ 2109, VAZ 21099, VAZ 2108 cars with your own hands.

The cable on this machine was replaced relatively recently, but after a short time it became unusable again. During the repair process, the reason why the clutch cable was not enough for a long time was found out.

At the place where it was fixed in the cabin, the body was torn, as a result of which the cable quickly began to fray.

We open the hood, in order to remove the clutch cable from the cordon, we use the usual installation:

Using two 17mm wrenches we unlock the two adjusting nuts. We go to the interior, remove the cable from the fastenings:

The video compares two clutch cables, one original from AvtoVAZ, the other an analogue from Autopartner. The second one is made much worse in quality; usually these don’t last long. We insert the new cable through the hood and onto the seat. First we fasten it in the cabin, we start the latch:

After that it's under the hood. Make sure that the clutch pedal is slightly higher than the brake pedal.

The cable broke on the road, what should I do?

It often happens that the drive breaks on the way, and there is no spare cable at hand. In this case, it is possible to drive the car without a clutch due to the presence of synchronizers in the gearbox.

This allows you to change gears while driving without interrupting the transmission of rotation from the engine to the gearbox, although this requires effort.

The main thing in such a situation is to start moving from a place. To do this, turn off the engine and engage 1st gear at the gearbox.

After this, we turn on the starter, which is quite capable of starting the engine connected to the transmission, but the start of movement will occur with jerks. And after the engine starts working, these jerks will disappear.

Shifting gears without a clutch must be done with throttle reversal. That is, we picked up speed, released the gas pedal and moved the gearbox lever to the neutral position.

Then they sharply increased the engine speed (throttled it) and turned on the required speed. But this must be done quickly.

When driving with a broken clutch, it is necessary to choose a route that has as few stops as possible, since this will require turning off the engine every time and starting to move at speed. But the starter will not withstand such “bullying” for long.

How to adjust the drive?

Replacing the clutch cable on a VAZ is not difficult, but this operation is not enough, since it still needs to be adjusted, and for this you will additionally need a regular ruler.

After replacement, the pedal may be higher or lower in level than the others, which is incorrect, they should be in one line.

The clutch is adjusted as you move the pedal. That is, we put a ruler next to it and mark the level of the position of the pedal pad.

After that, squeeze it all the way and make a mark on the ruler again.

Next, we subtract the distance - for a normally adjusted clutch the stroke is 12-13 cm, but 16 cm is allowed, although this value is considered the limit.

On the VAZ-2110, adjustment is made in two places - on the braid fastening nuts (allows you to change its length) and on the tip itself, which engages with the lever.

To do this, a thread is made on it and two 8 or 10 nuts are installed (they change the length of the cable itself). They are exactly what is needed for adjustment.

To perform adjustment work, it is necessary to unscrew the outer nut, since it is a locking nut, and by unscrewing or screwing the inner nut onto the tip, achieve the required pedal stroke, and then lock it.

On the VAZ-2109 there is only one adjustment - on the mounting bracket on the gearbox and the stroke is adjusted by changing the length of the braid.

You can do without a ruler on a VAZ-2110, it is only important to choose the right cable length. To do this, unscrew the locking nut and unscrew the adjusting nut.

Then, moving the thrust sleeve along the tip, you need to find the moment when the release bearing begins to freely move. It will be easy to feel it, since the force on the lever will increase slightly.

All that remains is to fix the position of the sleeve on the tip with nuts and check. Is the pedal in line with the others.

This adjustment will ensure optimal cable tension, and the clutch will not “drive” or “slip”, since the drive is installed at the beginning of the free play of the release bearing.

Progress

In order to quickly and efficiently replace a frayed or broken cable, you need to take several mandatory steps. We start by working under the hood, here the following actions are performed:

1. Loosening of the fastening of the vehicle mounting bracket to the box.
2. Removing the lower part of the cable from the clutch release fork.

So, a start has been made, and now we need to return to the salon. The following work is performed here:

1. Disconnecting the cable from the pedal. To do this, you need to remove all the floor mats from the interior.
2. Removing the lock washer. To do this you will need an ordinary minus screwdriver. Next, the pin connecting the part to the bracket is removed.
3. Now you can get the cable itself. There is a special rubber cushion in the engine compartment, and under the steering wheel there is a hole through which the shell will need to be removed. We press on the pillow, remove the shell and remove the old element.

Dismantling work has been completed. Now we move directly to the procedure for installing a new vehicle. Installation begins from the interior. This is done as follows:

1. We insert a new cable into the hole, mount its end on the pedal, and secure it with a lock washer.
2. We secure the vehicle in the box. This must be done in such a way that the bushing is located on the bracket. Then the thread will be reliably protected.
3. We insert the end of the cable into the fork. Here you can lubricate the cable with oil.

New cable installed.
However, the work is not finished yet. For full operation of the clutch, it is necessary to adjust the vehicle and the pedal. Adjusting the cable is very simple. It is enough just to loosen the lock nut, ensuring free movement of the adjusting nut. This is what is used to tension the cable. However, be careful not to tighten it too tight. If the tension is excessive, the vehicle will soon break and you will have to carry out all the work all over again, but you also cannot tighten it too lightly. Then the clutch will not be adjusted. The last step is adjusting the pedal. Under it there is a special nut that needs to be removed. Immediately below it there is a lock nut that is tightened. Then we return the first nut to its place and place the rubber washer on the fork. Please note that the brake and clutch pedals must be at the same level. Otherwise, the clutch pedal will wear out much faster.

How to replace the clutch cable on a VAZ 2109?

Replacing the VAZ 2109 clutch cable is required if it breaks. Signs that the cable needs to be changed are the appearance of clicks when squeezing the clutch pedal (CP), the pedal falls down and does not rise back, and problems arise in controlling the clutch. The article provides detailed instructions, thanks to which any car enthusiast can change the clutch cable on a VAZ 2109. In addition, a video is attached that clearly shows the entire process.

Replacing the clutch on a VAZ 2109/21099 without removing the gearbox

Replacing the VAZ 2109/21099 clutch without removing the gearbox is quite difficult. You will not find instructions or recommendations on this topic in the car's owner's manual. These recommendations are based on the experience of car enthusiasts who share their experience of replacing the clutch.

The main problem when replacing a clutch is that not every motorist has an overpass, a pit, and especially a lift, and it is necessary to make sure that the massive gearbox does not fall to the ground. But lifting it is problematic, since it is impossible to crawl under the car with it. All steps for removing the gearbox are almost the same as the instructions above, with the exception of some nuances:

1. Purchase two bolts from the upper arm of the classic front suspension from the store. Their threads are exactly the same as those on the bolts that secure the box and the engine block together.
2. Screw them in from above, only after that, with a small crowbar or screwdriver, we begin to disconnect the nodes. After moving away, the rear part of the box will rest on the transverse rod, and a gap of about 15 centimeters will form between the clutch housing and the flywheel.
3. The release bearing is removed through the resulting gap and the bolts on the basket are unscrewed.

But the installation is slightly different from the process shown in the instructions:

1. Place the new release valve in its place. Then a disk is installed on the flywheel and a basket on top of it.
2. Just tighten the bolts a couple of turns, but do not overtighten!
3. Carefully begin to slide the input shaft onto the splines in the disc.
4. Then we move the box back and tighten the bolts on the basket. The basket fastening bolts are tightened only after the box is installed in its place.
5. After this, you can install the gearbox and tighten the bolts on it.

When replacing the clutch without removing the gearbox on a VAZ 2109/21099 car, there is no need to center the disc!

Step-by-step replacement instructions

To carry out the procedure, the machine must be raised. It is best to use an inspection hole, a trestle or a lift, but lifting with jacks will suffice.

Tools

The procedure lasts no more than 15-20 minutes. To carry it out, there is no need for a large number of tools and materials, just prepare:

New cable for VAZ 2109

Stages

Replacing a vehicle with a VAZ 2109 consists of the following steps:

1. First, work is carried out in the engine compartment.
2. In a VAZ 2109 car, the cable is attached to the box thanks to a metal bracket. In order to remove the part to be replaced from the bracket, you need to loosen the fasteners.

Two vehicle mounting nuts

• unscrew the nut located under the pedal;
• a little lower there is a lock nut that should be tightened;
• Next you need to tighten the first unscrewed nut;
• Now you need to screw the rubber washer onto the fork as much as possible.

The clutch and brake pedal must be at the same level. If the PS is higher, it will wear out quickly.

Thus, the procedure for replacing a vehicle on a VAZ 2109 is not too complicated and can be done at home, which means the car owner will be able to save on car service costs.

Clutch diagnostics VAZ 2109

Diagnostics must be carried out on all cars without exception. Regular implementation of this procedure allows you to minimize the likelihood of breakdowns of all kinds. It makes it possible to detect failures and problems at an early stage.

Thanks to this, repair work is carried out with minimal time and financial costs. Certain diagnostic procedures require special equipment. It can be found at any car service center.

It is not recommended to buy them yourself due to the fairly high price of these devices. Below are operations that you can perform independently without special technical devices.

Diagnostics of the VAZ-2109 clutch is carried out in several stages:

Turn off the engine, depress the clutch pedal several times, during this process, listen carefully to see if any extraneous sounds appear during these operations: clicks, friction, squeaks, etc.

d. You also need to pay attention to the pedal travel. It should not be accompanied by any jerks or interruptions

The lowering and raising of the lever should be smooth. If the pedal jerks or sticks, you need to check the clutch adjustment

Using a ruler, check the distance from the car floor to the outside of the pedal. The exact required value is indicated in the technical documentation of the VAZ-2114. Press the pedal all the way, then release it and measure the distance; if it does not correspond to the stated distance, it is necessary to adjust the pedal.

Replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ-21099

In this article we will talk about replacing the clutch cable on cars of the VAZ 2108-21099 and VAZ 2113-2115 family . The clutch cable is a rather capricious and unpredictable part. It may work without problems for years, but it may break or start squeaking a week or two after installation. There are, of course, more questions about the quality of spare parts. But such unpleasant surprises are common, since no one is immune from purchasing a low-quality part! You will find recommendations for choosing a clutch cable below, but now let’s go through the reasons why you have to change the clutch cable. The first reason is a broken clutch cable (usually this happens near the clutch pedal). Everything is very clear here, the cable has broken, the clutch pedal is dangling back and forth, it is no longer possible to squeeze the clutch and engage the gear. The second reason is the break of several threads of the cable (as in photo 1). In this case, the gears (especially reverse and first) begin to engage poorly. You can temporarily improve the situation by adjusting the cable. It will be possible to get there or move somewhere, but you need to understand that the cable is on its last legs and it’s time to buy a new one. The third reason is the characteristic creaking of the cable when you press the clutch pedal. As a rule, the protective sheath of the cable is destroyed, moisture gets in, corrosion forms and, in addition to an unpleasant squeak, the clutch pedal becomes much harder. Here, not everything is so scary, you can continue to roll, squeak and swing your leg. But! I advise you to put a new cable in the trunk))) Since the squeak is the sound of friction and destruction of the cable. Accordingly, this process cannot last forever.

Spare parts . The catalog number of the new clutch cable (with a round tip) for VAZ 2108-2115 is 2109-1602210-10 . The catalog number of the old-style clutch cable (with a rectangular tip) for VAZ 2108-21099 is 21086-1602210 . The differences between the cables are clearly visible in photographs 2 and 3.

By manufacturer! The choice of cables on the market is quite large, but the only correct choice is a clutch cable manufactured by DAAZ . I do not recommend considering other options. In any case, they will be weaker and less reliable.

Also, when replacing the cable, a plastic clutch cable bushing may come in handy. The catalog number of the plastic clutch cable bushing is 2108-1602096 . It is difficult to find this bushing on sale; it is easier to buy a clutch pedal repair kit, as in photo 4. There is a bushing, a lock (it can be lost or broken when removed), and a tip axle (the chance that it will be useful is small, but just in case in case this part might come in handy)

Necessary tools for replacing the clutch cable : two open-end wrenches 17 (preferably one of them - in a shortened version, see photo 5), socket wrenches 8 and 10, Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers. It would be enough.

Photo report describing the work of replacing and adjusting the clutch cable on a VAZ-21099 car . On VAZ-2108, VAZ-2109, VAZ 2113-2115 cars, the clutch cable is changed in the same way, with the exception of small nuances.

And so we begin. If you have a car with a carburetor engine, then you don’t have to read points 1, 2, 3 and 4.

1) Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the two fastening nuts of the adsorber frame (Photos 6 and 7) and move it to the side. After removing the adsorber, access to the clutch cable appears. If you wish, you can work through this window. It's possible, but not convenient. That's why…

2) Disconnect the connector from the air flow sensor (Photo

3) Unscrew the corrugation clamp (photo 9)

4) Unscrew the two bolts of the air filter housing brackets (photo 10). We remove it (photo 11). After this, the clutch cable will be perfectly visible and easy to remove and install.

5) Using a 17mm wrench, unscrew the cable adjusting nuts (photo 12). We take out the cable from the bracket.

6) The cable guide is disconnected from the clutch fork (Photo 13).

7) Next, we climb into the car interior. Or more precisely, under a torpedo. There, first remove the clutch pedal pin retaining bracket (photos 14 and 15)

Disconnect the upper cable end from the pedal (photo 16)

9) Immediately pay attention to the presence or condition of the plastic bushing (photos 17, 18 and 19). The photo shows that this bushing has a cover. We install a new one.

10) We return to the engine compartment. Pull out the clutch cable.

11) We begin installing the new cable. We insert the cable into the hole in the body (photo 20). The rubber buffer should fit into its seat.

12) We attach the end of the cable to the clutch pedal (photo 21). Install the locking bracket (photo 22).

13) In the engine compartment, we put the cable lead on the clutch fork lever (photo 23).

14) Install the cable into the bracket and use the nuts to adjust the position of the clutch pedal (photo 24). The optimal position is when the clutch pedal is at the same level as the brake pedal (photo 25).

After this, press the clutch pedal several times. If the position of the pedal has changed, turn the nuts again and adjust the pedal. Let's press again. If everything is ok, tighten the nuts completely.

Don't forget to put the air filter housing and adsorber in place. If you filmed them, of course)))

All! Replacement of the clutch cable on the VAZ-21099 is completed . Thanks to all!

Clutch cable VAZ 2109 old and new model

Around 11 pm, I was leaving the supermarket. The car was parked in gear. I pressed the clutch pedal (without switching to neutral) and turned the key... And suddenly it jerked forward! It's good that there was no one in front of me. I released the pedal, but it remained lying on the floor.

I drove home shifting gears with the throttle on (I already had a similar driving experience - the very first breakdown of this car with me was a broken clutch). Driving without a clutch is not that difficult, but stopping and starting at traffic lights is inconvenient. But this time I was lucky and got home without red traffic lights - after 11 pm, most traffic lights far from the city center switch to a constant “flashing yellow”.

Now to the cable.

On the left is an old-style cable (already bored), on the right is a torn new type

The next day, on the street (fortunately it was positive T), I climbed up to the pedal assembly and immediately saw the reason - a break near the place where it is attached to the pedal. After searching in the bins, I found a clutch cable that was once given to me by a neighbor (formerly the happy owner of a 2108). But the fastening loop confused me. Mine is round, his is rectangular and narrow.

If the fastening doesn’t fit, it doesn’t matter. So I thought and took out a file. I widened the mount and put it on the pedal, but that was not the case. Due to the fact that the loop was wider, the cable dangled and folded in any way but not into a shirt going into the engine compartment. In addition, it jammed in some positions (due to wear on the pin on the pedal, the upper part of which was slightly erased).

After fussing about like this for about half an hour, I gave up and went to the car market to the skinner traders I hated. The best option they had was a braided cable without obvious distinctive signs for 170 UAH, passed off as the original. So I believed them, the damned hucksters at this point call everything that is made in Dimitrovgrad “original”, everything that is made askew and crookedly in cooperatives like “Horns and Hooves” is called . But there is no choice, I have to wait 2 days for an online order (because it was a Sunday), and I need the car for tomorrow. I bought the cable for 170 UAH and installed it at home in 2 minutes and it took another 5 minutes to adjust.

Everything is ok, the cable works fine. But I’ll still buy a spare one online. Since this cable, which broke, only came off for about a year.

Reasons for replacement

Typically, on a VAZ 2109, replacing the clutch cable is necessary if:

• The clutch is not working properly. That is, it is difficult for the driver to press the clutch pedal, as a result of which the car is difficult to start.
• The gearbox is also acting up. In addition to the fact that it is difficult to switch, it also makes sounds that are not entirely understandable during its operation.
• The clutch pedal has fallen down and does not return to its original position.

Note: however, these “symptoms” may indicate the presence of other problems, so a complete diagnosis of the car is necessary.

Replacing the clutch cable of a VAZ 2109

All this appears due to the fact that the cable has either broken or fallen off the fork. In the first case, it will need to be replaced. In the second case, you can simply put it in its place, holding it at the same time so that it does not fly off again in the future.

Note: It is better if the cable breaks rather than the fork breaking. Indeed, in some cases, the pedal fails due to a faulty fork, and replacing it costs much more than replacing a cable (a new cable costs about 200 rubles, and a new fork costs about 2000 rubles)

Signs and causes of clutch failure

The VAZ 2108, 2109, 21099 clutch consists of a basket, a pressure bearing, a drive and driven disk. The main signs of a clutch malfunction are clutch slipping and incomplete disengagement:

• When switching off is incomplete (the pedal is pressed), there is difficulty shifting gears with the engine running, noise and crackling noises when changing gears, and large free play of the clutch pedal.
• When the clutch “slips” (the pedal is released), a burning smell may be felt in the cabin from the burning of the clutch disc linings, the car’s dynamics will deteriorate, the engine may overheat, and fuel consumption will increase.

Most often, the cause of a breakdown of the VAZ 2109 clutch is improper operation of the car. For example, if the car “sits down” in the snow and you continue to accelerate hard, or really like to start with slipping, all this shortens the life of the clutch.

In addition to the clutch disc itself, the release bearing can also fail - it serves to smoothly engage and disengage the clutch. When the release bearing wears out to the limit, you can hear a characteristic squealing sound - this is a sure sign that the bearing needs to be replaced. The cause of clutch failure may also be a breakdown in its drive mechanism, for example, a break or jamming of the clutch drive cable, a breakdown of the lever system, a fluid leak from the hydraulic drive if the clutch is hydraulic, or other similar breakdowns in the drive.

By the way, when replacing the release bearing at a service station, they may advise you to also replace the clutch disc. Usually, if problems begin with the clutch, it is better to replace all these parts, because replacing the clutch is very difficult: you need to remove the gearbox. But if someone wants to save on this, then all clutch parts can be purchased separately.

To work you will need the following:

• wrenches 8, 10, 13, 17 mm;
• torque wrench, 8 mm socket;
• jack;
• container for draining oil;
• inspection hole or lift.
• flat screwdriver, hammer.

When removing or installing the gearbox, do not rest the input shaft of the gearbox on the clutch pressure spring petals, so as not to damage them.

Replacing the clutch cable with removing the frill

Replacing the clutch cable on a VAZ 2109

Replacing the clutch cable with removing the frill is accompanied by the following actions:

• Raise the car on a jack, otherwise it will simply be impossible to see the clutch cable itself.
• Unscrew the fastening nut.

Note: you need to look for it directly under the pedal.

• On the pedal rod there is a ring with a corkscrew ring.
• You need to remove the cable. However, this may cause problems with the cotter pin that holds it.
• To remove it, you need to find an 8 key, with which you can easily perform this manipulation.

Replace clutch cable VAZ 2109

• After this, the cable can be easily removed, but it is still attached to the attachment point, so it cannot be removed yet.
• Remove the frill and windshield wiper. Open the hood.
• Under the hood, find the place where the cable is attached. Here you need to unscrew the nut with a 19mm wrench.
• You can leave the old rubber band if it is in good condition. In addition, it is quite difficult to replace it at home, since there are incomprehensible wiring along it (they do not perform any function, so they can be safely removed).
• You need to insert an elastic band into the hole through which the cable passed.

Note: in order not to lose the pin and other bolts, they need to be kept in some kind of box.

• Insert the new cable in place of the old one.
• Under the hood, tighten the fastening bracket.

Interesting. By the way, if the cable breaks right on the road, then it is not necessary to tow the car home. The fact is that it can be started without a clutch. And after that you can even switch speeds. However, you will have to re-gas from time to time.

Replacing the clutch cable.

The operation is not complicated, so you can try it yourself. First, having unscrewed all the adjusting nuts, carefully inspect the entire clutch system, trying to remember the location of the elements. Then the lower tip of the cable, located in the bracket (which must be handled very delicately so as not to deform it), is removed from the bracket. After this, very calmly disconnect the leash near the clutch release lever and remove the stop tube from the pedal pin. In a VAZ 2109 car this is done inside the cabin. Many people take this action very lightly, and then wonder why nothing works. Therefore, it is worth remembering that this point is very important. After removing the stop tube, disconnect the cable end from the pedal. You need to remove the rubber cushion in the hole in the shield in order to remove the tip of the clutch cable through it. There are a lot of parts and components located in this place; it is better to do this towards the engine compartment.

Replacing the clutch disc.

Remove the crankcase protection and drain the oil from the box. Unscrew the hub nuts, remove the wheels, placing the car on supports. Using a puller, remove the tip from the stand. After this, you need to remove the brake mechanism. Unscrew the ball joints. Using a pry bar, remove the CV joint and remove the starter. We take out the cardan by unfastening the clutch cable. We release the speedometer cable, disconnect the reverse gear sensor, remove the internal CV joints, remove the cover covering the flywheel from below, and loosen the fastening of the box to the engine. We put supports under the box. Then unscrew first the rear and then the left supports. Having changed the bearing held on two cables, we unscrew the basket, install a new disk and center the basket.

Replacing the clutch cylinder.

It is best to carry out work on replacing the clutch slave cylinder in an inspection pit or on a lift. First you need to remove the tension spring. Then, using pliers, remove the cotter pin from the working cylinder rod. Loosen the clutch hose. Unscrew the cylinder mounting bolts on the clutch housing. We hold the tip of the clutch hose, manually unscrew the cylinder and remove it. To preserve maximum fluid, immediately connect a new cylinder. We install the new cylinder in reverse order and bleed the hydraulic drive system.

What if we need to replace the clutch master cylinder? First, use a rubber bulb to empty the cylinder reservoir. Disconnect the pipeline fitting. Remove the hose clamp from the cylinder fitting and unscrew the master cylinder mounting nuts. We remove it from the studs. We install the new master cylinder in the reverse order and bleed the system to remove air. The clutch master cylinder has been replaced.

Replacing the clutch fork.

The first step is to remove the gearbox. Then use a screwdriver to carefully attach the protective cover and remove it from the hole in the crankcase. Remove the ends of the spring from the bearing clutch feet by squeezing them with a screwdriver. Remove the bearing from the guide bushing. Then, having unscrewed the bolts, remove the guide sleeve, using a screwdriver, remove the plastic bushing of the clutch fork. Remove the clutch fork. Install the fork and release bearing.

A situation has arisen when you no longer feel confident behind the wheel. On uneven roads, dull knocks began. The steering rack needs repair or replacement. It is better to have the steering rack repaired by specialists who have all the instruments. You can, of course, carry out repairs yourself, but you will not have absolute confidence in the safe operation of your car.

Replacing the clutch on a VAZ - video

The BAZ 2109 is a wonderful car, which has become famous for its high level of maintainability, as well as the availability for sale of a huge number of spare parts and components. If a breakdown occurs in the car, and all suspicions point to a faulty clutch, then it needs to be replaced.

The procedure for replacing the VAZ 2109 clutch is not complicated, but it is time-consuming since you will have to remove the entire gearbox. The gearbox is removed along with the prepositions, so you don’t even have to drain the oil. The gearbox is a very heavy unit that requires significant effort, so it is better not to do this work alone.

Replacing the clutch cable without removing the frill

Replace clutch cable VAZ 2109

Replacing the cable without removing the frill is much easier than replacing it, since the second option involves many unnecessary manipulations. To easily replace it at home, you need to:

• ​Unscrew the cable fastening using a 19 mm wrench.
• Remove the cable end from the clutch fork.

Note: Sometimes this action is unnecessary. It depends on the location where the cable was torn.

• In the cabin, under the pedal, you need to find the cable fastening nut. It is very small, so to remove it you will need an 8 key.

VAZ 2109 clutch cable adjustment

• Unhook the bracket that secures the cable end to the clutch pedal. To carry out this action, you should raise the clutch pedal as high as possible, and then use a screwdriver to hook the clip.
• Pull out the clutch cable. You don't need to tug on it too hard. The point is not that it will tear, it is already torn. You can simply damage the “nest” in which it was located. You need to pull it out directly through the interior.

Note: there may be extra wires in the cable channel that will make it difficult to remove the cable. You can safely tear them out, as they do not provide any benefit. Washers under the hood may also be in the way. In this case, they need to be carefully unscrewed.

• Remove the bracket located on the pedal arm. This will make it easier to remove the cable.
• Slowly insert the new cable into the hole through the interior and into the hood.

VAZ 2109 clutch cable

• You need to fasten everything in the reverse order.

Note: the most difficult part will be to put the tip mounting bracket back in its original place. It's not that easy to get there. This is why many people take off their frills.

• However, the mounting bracket can be returned to its place in another way. You should make a clip from a regular paper clip. With its help you need to secure this bracket. If necessary, you can use pliers.
• It is advisable to lubricate the cable with oil or grease at the end (it does not freeze in winter) to make it more elastic.

Replacing the clutch cable on a Daewoo Matiz

Replacing the clutch cable on a Volkswagen Golf

1). We insert a screwdriver between the steering column and the clutch pedal and bring it to the return spring. Press the clutch pedal and disconnect the return spring from the clutch pedal by removing the floor covering on the left side (driver's side).

2). We remove the clutch pedal all the way several times in a row so that the automatic gap adjustment mechanism works.

3). Remove the clutch cable (1 and 2 – position of the locking bracket when removing the clutch cable).

4). We are working in the engine compartment. We move the locking bracket at the top of the protective rubber boot of the adjustment mechanism to position 1, and mix it with the slot along the cable.

5). We grab the top and bottom of the adjustment mechanism and squeeze it. We put the side ends on the protrusions on the sides of the adjustment mechanism. If the mechanism cannot be compressed, this tells us that the cable is damaged. We carry out dismantling by breaking it out.

6). Raise the clutch release lever and disconnect the clutch cable from it along with the stops and rubber shock absorber.

Note. If there is no longer a locking bracket on the clutch cable, then you can use a homemade one, making it from a piece of electrical wire.

7). Remove the facing panels under the steering column and disconnect the mounting block from the mounting screws.

8). Disconnect the clutch cable from the assembly (1 – clamp; 2 – locking element; 3-plate).

9)

We release the electrical cables from the clamp (1), put them on the snap locking element (2) towards the pedal axle bracket and carefully remove the plate (3) located between the mounting block body and the pedal axle bracket, pressing it in the direction indicated by the arrow, in side of the dashboard until it releases from the clips

Note. We remove the plate by moving it down, while making sure that none of the wires are broken or stretched.

10). Disconnect the clutch cable from the pedal and pull the cable through the rubber bulkhead guide into the engine compartment.

eleven). We release the cable from the fastenings and remove it from the engine compartment.

12). We install the clutch cable in the reverse order of removal.

Adjustment

VAZ 2109 clutch cable

It is mandatory.

Clutch cable adjustment

VAZ 2109 clutch cable

You can adjust the cable like this:

• Loosen the locknut. This will allow the adjusting nut to move.
• Tighten the cable with the tension nut (pull until the machine wobbles). In this case, you can press the clutch from time to time.

Note: It is very important that the cable is tensioned to the optimum distance. After all, if you tighten it, it will break again. At the same time, if it is not reached enough, it will not be adjusted.

Clutch pedal adjustment

The clutch cable on a VAZ 2109 broke

After any manipulation of the clutch pedal, it must be adjusted, otherwise it will jam. To do this you need:

• Unscrew the nut located under the pedal.
• Tighten the locknut, which is located slightly lower.
• After this, tighten the first nut.
• Tighten the rubber washer to the fork as much as possible.

Note: The clutch pedal should be lower than the brake pedal. If it is higher, it will wear out too quickly.

Replacing the clutch cable can be done right at home. That is, everyone can fix this problem with their own hands. The price for home repairs will not hurt your wallet, as it will be significantly lower than what is offered in car services. However, before you start replacing it, you should review a lot of photos and videos on this topic. Detailed instructions describing this process will also be very helpful.

Adjusting the cable

To adjust you need:

• Loosen the locknut, which will allow the adjusting nut to move;
• Tighten the cable using the tension nut;
• You need to pull until the car shakes;
• During this process, it is a good idea to periodically press the clutch pedal;
• Do not overtighten the cable, otherwise it will soon break again;
• If you do not tighten the cable, the performance of the clutch will leave much to be desired. What to do? Find the optimal balance.

Replacing the cable, clutch disc and other manipulations with the clutch pedal require its adjustment.

Pedal adjustment

To adjust the pedal, follow the following algorithm.

1. Press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and place a tape measure next to it.
2. The tape measure also rests on the floor at one end.
3. Having fixed the pedal in the lowest maximum position, measure the distance to the floor in the center of the pillow.
4. Release the pedal, then measure in the uppermost position. Write down the data or just memorize it.
5. Now calculate the amount of free play, that is, the distance from the bottom to the top point.
6. When replacing a clutch cable or disc, the indicator is usually more or less than 125-135 millimeters.
7. To change the parameter, you need to adjust the length of the cable sheath.
8. To do this, lift the hood and find the end of the cable. Use a wrench to loosen the tension on the locking nut that holds the cable to the lever. And tighten the second nut.
9. Similar manipulations are carried out until the free play is within the range of 125 to 135 millimeters. Happened? That's it, job done.

There is nothing particularly difficult about replacing or adjusting the cable. The main thing here is to do everything consistently, carefully and not to rush. It is haste that causes most failures when repairing a VAZ 2109 yourself.
