The service life of the clutch on VAZ cars is determined not so much by mileage as by the features of operation and driving style. A sporty driving style, urban rhythm with constant traffic jams, mountain roads, congestion of the car - all this reduces the traction resource. And as soon as slippage occurs, the clutch should be replaced as soon as possible.
Necessary
- - overpass, pit or lift;
- - wrenches;
- - end heads;
- - large screwdrivers.
Instructions
Step 1
Regardless of the VAZ model, when replacing the clutch, you must follow certain rules that are typical for all Lada cars. Before carrying out work, disconnect the clutch cable and the negative wire from the battery terminal. Unscrewing or screwing in the clutch cover mounting bolts, do it evenly: turning one bolt per turn of the wrench, go to the next one in diameter. It is best to tighten the bolts diagonally to avoid distortion. At the same time, secure the flywheel against turning with a large screwdriver. After installing the clutch cable, install and adjust.
Step 2
To replace the clutch on classic rear-wheel drive VAZ cars, first remove the gearbox. Then unscrew the fastening bolts of the clutch cover and remove it together with the pressure plate. When working, do not apply any force to the thrust flange of the compression spring. Clean the pressure and clutch discs and blow them out with compressed air. When installing an old clutch, be sure to check the condition of the bearing at the end of the crankshaft and the splines of the hub of the driven disk and the input shaft. Replace these parts if necessary. Clean the slots and lubricate with LITOL-24. When finished, adjust the hydraulic actuator.
Step 3
To dismantle the clutch on front-wheel drive cars of the "Samara" and "Samara-2" families, first remove the gearbox according to the instruction manual. Remove the bolts securing the clutch cover to the flywheel and remove the cover assembly with the pressure plate. This will open access to the node's slave disk. When installing a new clutch, clean and flush with white spirit the splines in the hub of the driven disc and on the input shaft of the gearbox. Do not lubricate them.
Step 4
On cars "Lada Kalina" and "Lada Priora" when installing the clutch, clean the splines of the input shaft of the gearbox and the guide sleeve of the release bearing. Then, SHRUS-4 grease should be applied to them and to the clutch fork axle. Also, be sure to use a centering mandrel when mounting. It is installed on the driven disc before installation and removed after tightening all the casing mounting bolts. In the absence of a mandrel, an unnecessary gearbox input shaft can be used instead. The clutch can be removed with or without a mandrel.
