How to change the gearbox on a VAZ 2109

Step-by-step instruction

The gearbox weighs relatively little - 27 kg, but it is still not easy to remove it with your own hands, so invite an assistant.
All work is carried out after installing the machine on the ramp or above the pit. Additionally, the car still needs to be jacked up and placed on supports so that the wheels are in the air. First of all, remove the mudguard, the motor crater protection and disconnect the battery. Further:

drain the gearbox oil;
remove nuts from wheels and drives;
remove the clutch cables and also the speedometer;
disconnect all the ball joints by tightening the bolts holding them to the knuckles;
dismantle the longitudinal tie;
pull out all the drives included in the gearbox (you will need the help of a friend), remove the central nuts and remove them completely;
unplug and remove the starter.

After this, all that remains is to disconnect the gearshift linkage and the gearbox itself from the engine (it is held in place by four nuts).
But before this action, the power unit must be secured. It is either hung out, leaning on the spar (or rather, on its glasses) or propped up from below with a jack.

The gearbox still needs to be disconnected from the body supports, and only then can it be removed. This is done in this way: the box is rocked a little and moved away from the engine by 10 cm - this is enough for the primary shaft to leave the disc and clutch basket. In order not to damage the latter, you must act very carefully.

I'll start from the beginning) The first gear began to fly out, the second stuck in with a crunch. All symptoms point to the synchronizer. I decided to do it myself, because repairing the gearbox costs a lot of money. I drove into my dad's garage and away we go. First I read the entire Internet and all possible VAZ Murzilkas. It scared me that I had to unscrew a lot of things. But that's all I got by with. First of all, I removed the protection, which I had to fiddle with because the front bolt was stuck tightly. I decided to weld a nut, but it’s all bullshit. Guys, take a strong rod, weld it and unscrew it calmly, fiddling with the nut is very inconvenient. Next, unscrew the saber from the crab (there are three bolts in front) on the left side (the driver's side, where the short CV joint is), then unscrew both ball joints. Unscrew the speedometer cable - the plastic cap. Disconnect the minus from the starter and the chip. unscrew the three fastening nuts and remove the starter, putting the nuts back on the studs. Loosen the gearshift rod clamp and pull it back by force, maybe gently using a hammer. Next, I disconnected the fastening to the body near the rod, and then on the left side, where the saber was unscrewed, there was also a support. For convenience, I completely removed it, first unscrewed it from the body, then from the box itself. Don't forget to disconnect the reverse sensor. And after that I unscrewed the drain plug and drained the oil for 15-20 minutes. Due to the fact that the box sank after removing the supports, the oil drained faster and better, probably)) While the oil was draining, I jacked up the engine through a piece of wood and loosened the bolts securing the box; there is a nut on the engine side that I didn’t see at first. And I saw it when I took out the CV joint. To remove the CV joint, just crawl under the car, carefully pull the hub with your foot (remember about the unscrewed ball joint) and use a crowbar to carefully pull the CV joint out of the box, it should come out without much effort, the same on the other side. Next, I unscrewed all the engine mounting bolts and removed the gearbox. And it was very easy to remove. He climbed into the hood and simply pulled it with his hands and put it on the floor. That's all) Alone without anyone's help)

Installation

The gearbox is installed in place after all problems and malfunctions associated with it have been fully eliminated.

Before the reassembly process you should:

make sure that all elements affected by the dismantling process are in good condition;
check the alignment of the clutch;
Renew the lubricant on the splines of the release and input shaft bearing flanges.

When installing a gearbox on a car, the following scheme is used:

the power unit is lowered on a jack or stretcher with a slope of 15 degrees;
the box itself is lifted and inserted until it stops (do not try to tighten the engine and gearbox with bolts until it sits tightly in its designated place);
tighten all four elements securing the gearbox to the engine;
install “pillows” (supports) under it;
attach the clutch cable and adjust its tension (its pedal is normally located a centimeter above the brake);
return the previously removed starter together with the rear speed sensor to its place;
install the flywheel protective housing;
screw the speedometer cable and ground wire;
connect the shift gear mechanism - its lever is aligned according to the marks made during dismantling;
assemble the drive, install ball joints, couplers;
put the car on the wheels and tighten the bolts on them;
tighten the drive nuts;
add fresh oil.

Stages of removing the gearbox on a VAZ-2109

It is worth considering that the VAZ-2109 box weighs 27 kg and it is better to prepare a winch in advance to fix the part. Removal of the box should be carried out in a well-lit room, since some elements are quite small, and the dirt that adheres to the box during operation makes them almost invisible. Let's start dismantling the gearbox.

First of all, you need to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery.

Next, you need to drain the used oil into a clean container.

After this, we proceed to the next steps:

Removing the mudguard and crankcase protection, if equipped.
Removing drive and wheel nuts. It is better to remove all 4 wheels, but if you are not sure about the reliable position of the car, then 2 wheels can be left. It is also necessary to raise the engine and securely fix it using stands made of wood, stone or metal.
You need to remove the clutch and speedometer cable.
At the next stage, it is better to remove the starter. It is preferable to completely dismantle the starter, since removing only the wires will make installing the part more difficult. The starter can be secured to adjacent wires, so the part will not be lost and will be securely fixed.
Removing the ground wire.
The bolts that secure the ball joints to the knuckle are unscrewed.
The longitudinal brace on the left side of the vehicle must be removed.

In order to pull the drives out of the gearbox, you will need the help of a second person. The assistant needs to tighten the internal grenade using a pry bar, and the first person at this time must sharply pull the wheel. This method saves time on removing drives. Since after removing the drives, the differential may rotate in the box, it is better to insert an old grenade or chopstick in place of the dismantled part.

You need to unscrew the central nuts of the drives and remove them.
The next step will require removing the connector for the reverse sensor.
The flywheel protection is unscrewed from the gearbox.
Having remembered the location of the shift lever, you need to remove it.

After holding the manual transmission, you need to manually remove the cushions, supports and fastenings.

At the next stage, you need to carefully move the box away from the engine together with an assistant. This is done so that the input shaft is disconnected and its petals are not deformed. After the box is disconnected from everything, it must be removed from under the hood. This completes the dismantling of the part.

On average, dismantling the box takes 20 minutes. Even if a person is doing this for the first time, the whole process will take no more than half an hour. It is important to have the necessary keys and an assistant at hand who can provide physical assistance. When a part is completely replaced, you don’t have to worry about maintaining the working condition of the gearbox and don’t worry about accidentally dropping the device after removal.

Removing the VAZ 2109 gearbox

First of all, you need to remove the mudguard and engine crankcase protection (if installed).

drain the oil from the box, remove the drive nuts and wheels. If removal takes place in a pit, it is necessary to jack up and hang the front part of the car on trestles or other reliable stands. Be sure to disconnect the battery terminals. The next order is:

– remove the clutch cable

disconnect the speedometer cable;

– with the car raised, unscrew the ball joints (it is recommended to unscrew the two bolts securing the ball joint to the “knuckle”);

– tear off and remove the left longitudinal brace;

– with the help of an assistant, pull the drive out of the box – one pulls the inner grenade with a pry bar

(to prevent disassembly of the drive in another place), the second one sharply pulls the wheel, pulling the drive out of the box (after removing one drive, in order to avoid turning and scattering of the differential, it is necessary to insert a special stopper or an old grenade into the box);

– unscrew the central nuts of the drives and remove them;

disconnect the ground wire

and reverse speed sensor connector

from the box, flywheel protective cover from below

and disconnect the gearshift link (having previously marked the position);

– then unscrew one by one the four mounting points of the gearbox to the engine;

– it is imperative to fix the engine by supporting it through a hydraulic jack from below, or by hanging it, resting it on the spar cups;

– holding the box, unscrew and remove all the supports (“pillows”) securing the gearbox to the body;

– together with an assistant, slightly swaying, try to move the box away from the engine; it needs about 10 cm for the input shaft to come out of the clutch disc and basket;

– when removing, be careful not to damage the clutch basket petals with the input shaft.

Transmission repair options without removal

It is not always necessary to completely replace the gearbox, so sometimes it is advisable to carry out repairs without removing the gearbox. Replacing a disk or basket can be done with the box not removed, but it must be taken into account that in this case the time for repair work can increase by 1.5 - 2 times. In order to replace parts, you need to unscrew the two upper bolts and instead screw in long studs that will act as an axis. Using the gearbox studs, you can move it away from the engine and perform all the necessary manipulations.

What needs to be done after dismantling the box?

Most often, the gearbox on a VAZ-2109 is removed for maintenance and replacement of worn parts, so it is important to keep it in working condition during dismantling. First of all, you need to think about maintaining the desired position of the parts by inserting a chopper instead of grenades. After the necessary work has been carried out, you need to take care of the performance of the remaining parts. It is necessary to carefully check their performance, otherwise the gearbox may need to be removed again.

Preparatory work

Before removing the box on the VAZ-2109, it is necessary to prepare the car for dismantling. For this:

Completely disconnect the battery and remove it.
A jack is installed under the left side.
Loosen the bolts that secure the wheels.
Unlock the nut securing the outer CV joint and loosen it.
Lift the left side and completely remove the wheel from the car.
Place a container of at least 5 liters under the gearbox housing.
Drain the gearbox oil. Assess its condition and, if necessary, refill it with fresh water.

With this, the preparatory work is completed, you can begin to dismantle the elements that will interfere with the removal of the gearbox.

Disassembling the left drive

Before removing the box on the VAZ-2109, it is imperative to disassemble the left part of the suspension. The fact is that the left drive will interfere when the box is moved. Therefore, you need to free up space for maneuvers:

Using the “17” wrench, unscrew the two bolts that secure the ball joint race to the hub steering knuckle.
Using pliers, you need to pull the cotter pin out of the hole in the steering tip, and then unscrew the nut with a key “19”.
Having installed the puller on the tip, you need to remove the finger from the fist hole.
Move the brake hose to the side.
After this, you need to completely unscrew the nut on the outer CV joint.
Pull the entire stand toward you until the drive falls to the ground.

You don’t have to do the sixth point; you just need to remove the internal grenade from the gearbox. But the right grenade is removed only after the box is moved to the side. It is not difficult to remove the VAZ-2109 box with your own hands, just follow the sequence of all actions.

Final disassembly

Then you need to perform the following manipulations:

Remove the starter, first disconnecting two wires from it.
Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the negative wire attached to the gearbox.
Loosen the clutch cable and remove it.
Unscrew the speedometer drive cable.
Place a support under the gearbox; you can use a regular jack.
Disconnect the lever from the rocker.
Completely remove the cushions that secure the transmission to the car body.
If you need to remove the VAZ-2109 engine with gearbox, you will need to hang it.

That's all, now the gearbox is held in place by just three bolts and one nut on the engine housing.

How to remove the box on a VAZ 2108

Drain the oil from the gearbox (see Changing the gearbox oil). Remove the engine splash guard (see Engine splash guard). Disconnect the drive rod from the gearbox (see Removing the gear shift drive). Disconnect the clutch cable from the gearbox (see Removing the clutch cable). Disconnect the negative cable from the battery and remove the starter (see Removing the starter). Disconnect the wire connector from the reverse light switch (see Replacing the reverse light switch). Disconnect the “mass” wire from the power unit. Disconnect the speedometer drive cable. If the car is equipped with a VAZ-2111 engine, it is necessary to remove the speed sensor (see Removing the speed sensor) and use a 13mm key to unscrew the bolt securing the ignition module bracket to the clutch housing (see Removing the ignition module of the VAZ-2111 engine). We hang the front part of the car and disconnect the ball joints from the steering knuckles (see Removing the ball joint). We remove the internal joint of one of the front wheel drives from the gearbox (see Removing the front wheel drives).

How to completely remove the box?

After completing all the previous steps, you will need to unscrew the three bolts and one nut using “19” keys that secure the gearbox to the engine boat. Do not be afraid, the box will not fall after unscrewing these threaded connections. It will have to be undocked using mounting blades.

Carefully, trying not to damage the crankcase elements, move the gearbox away from the engine. It is best to carry out all work on an overpass or inspection hole, but if you do not have such facilities, then it is enough to hang the front part of the car. Be sure to install a piece of pipe in the hole instead of one of the inner CV joints. Otherwise, the differential mechanism may be destroyed, and the box will have to be completely disassembled and repaired. Once the transmission input shaft has come off the splines, you can lower the gearbox to the ground. This gives you full access to the clutch mechanism, which is mounted on the crankshaft flywheel.

tuning gearbox and gear knob

The domestic origin of the VAZ-2109 is not at all a death sentence when it comes to the driving performance of the car. Yes, the Nine is not a foreign car, but it can also show excellent results if you tune the VAZ-2109 gearbox.

What can be done to improve the dynamics of the car? It's simple: you need to change the number of gears. It is also necessary to adjust the gearbox shafts and the ratio of the gear ratios of the main gearbox pair. The choice of shaft rows will depend on the requirements for the car, as well as on the driving style - economical or sporty.

By replacing the main gear with a 3.7 gear ratio (by increasing it to 3.9, 4.1 or more), you can significantly improve the vehicle's dynamic performance. As a result of this transformation, the engine will reach maximum speed faster. The driver will be able to switch speed modes less often with a sporty driving style.

Work to improve the gearbox can be done with your own hands. To do this you will need the following tools:

Key for 10, 13, 17.
Hammer.
Two screwdrivers.
Head 32.
Vorotok

Basic tools for work

The dismantled gearbox must be cleaned of dirt and washed. It is very important that when cleaning, water does not get into the gearbox housing.

Tuning the gear knob

Breathing a new spirit into the design of the gear knob is very simple. Today in stores you can see a huge assortment of the most sophisticated accessories in design. But it’s quite reasonable to create something yourself, for example, illumination of the VAZ-2109 gearbox handle. To do this, you should invest in a new pen, the model of which is suitable for these purposes.

When choosing a handle, pay attention to the presence of grooves and holes for wires. Usually the part of the handle on which the gears are marked is not visible because the numbers are chrome-plated. But this shortcoming can be completely corrected.

You can purchase ferric chloride at any chemical store.

Pour the ferric chloride solution into a glass container and place the lid in it. After 10 minutes, remove and rub with a brush. Repeat the operation until all the chrome coating has disappeared. To speed up the reaction, you can add a little hot water to the solution. Next, install the light bulb and wires into the handle body. And now, the new unusual gear knob is ready.

The process of removing the gearbox on a VAZ 2109

For any vehicle to function properly, it is necessary to regularly monitor its technical condition. Sometimes you need to remove the gearbox, for example, when overhauling the gearbox itself, replacing the oil seals in it, or if it interferes with getting to any parts when repairing the car. The article describes how to remove the box on a VAZ 2109, and also attaches a video in which you can see all stages of the process.

Step-by-step instruction

Drivers who do not want to tinker with their car use the services of a service station. The procedure for removing the gearbox can be done by yourself. True, you will need an assistant to carry it out.

What will you need?

To carry out work with the gearbox, the car must be driven into an inspection hole, raised using a lift, or installed on an overpass. Before you begin the process of removing the gearbox from a VAZ 2109, you need to drain the oil from it.

To remove the gearbox you will need:

a set of keys;
mount;
for draining oil, a container with a volume of about 5 liters.

It is recommended to perform the procedure with an assistant.

Stages

The procedure for removing the gearbox on a VAZ 2109 includes the following steps:

Before carrying out work, the car must be de-energized - disconnect the negative terminal on the battery.
Next, the protection from the engine crankcase is removed. To do this, unscrew the screws with which it is attached to the body.
The ground wire must be removed from the stud by unscrewing the bolt holding it.
Next, release the clutch cable by loosening the nuts on the tip of the clutch cable. And then remove it from the clutch lever.

Disconnecting the clutch cable

The next step is to disconnect the block supplying the power wires from the starter.
Next, unscrew the nut and remove the power cable going to the battery from the stud.
To disconnect the starter from the clutch basket, unscrew three mounting nuts.

Removing the starter
By carefully pulling the starter towards you, you need to remove it from under the hood.
To perform further work, you need to move under the car. The gear shift drive rod is disconnected from the joint tip by loosening the clamp.
Then the reverse sensor is disconnected.

Disconnect the reverse light connector
After unscrewing the fastening nut, disconnect the cable from the speedometer drive.
The next stage is working with stretch marks. There is no need to remove them, just loosen the nuts securing them to the suspension arms.
Then, the bolts securing the bracket to the car body or the nut that secures the braces to the bracket are unscrewed; the braces need to be moved apart so that they do not interfere.
Next, the cotter pin of the nut is removed, with the help of which the ball is attached to the swing arm and the fastening nut of the ball is unscrewed.
Now, using a puller, press the ball joint pin out of the strut swing arm.
Then the steering tips are disconnected from the steering cams.
At the next stage, using a small pry bar as a lever, you need to rest one of its ends against the drive hinge and push the grenade out of the box.
After removing the drive, you need to install a technical plug in its place; you can use an old grenade. Now you can start removing the second one. If you do not install the plug and start removing the second drive, the differential gears located inside the box may shift, which will then be difficult to install due to the fact that the grenade shanks will not be able to get into place.
Next, the mounting bolts are unscrewed and the shield is removed.

Removing the shield
After this, you should loosen the screws and nut that secure the clutch housing and cylinder block together.
The next step is to fix the engine in a suspended state. This must be done, since when removing the VAZ 2109 gearbox, the mounting bolts of the power unit supports are unscrewed. To do this, a reliable wooden beam is installed on the front fenders, on which the engine will hang. First, material should be laid on the fenders to protect the paintwork, and wooden support bars should be placed under the beam in the area of the front pillar supports.
Next, the engine is suspended using a strong rope or wire.

Suspending the engine Now you need to unscrew the nuts holding the rear support of the unit.

Unscrew the left support fastener
After unscrewing the nut, remove the left engine mount bolt.
Then unscrew the nuts securing the motor to the gearbox and remove the support.
Next, you need to finally unscrew all the fasteners on the other side of the gearbox. Then you should remove the box from the car by pulling it towards you. In this case, you need to act carefully so as not to break the clutch basket.

The procedure for removing the gearbox on a VAZ 2109 with your own hands is completed. Then you can continue repair work.
