Installation of a short-stroke rocker on a Lada Priora

Previously, we have already reviewed the installation of a short-stroke rocker on a VAZ 2109, so here there will be no information about what it is and what the benefits of this part are, we will talk about its installation.

To gain access to the bolts, the decorative cover must be removed from the knob box lever. The latter is not secured to the lever in any way; to remove it, it will be enough to pull strongly.

We dismantle the gearbox lever rod from the cardan by loosening the clamp using a key set to “13”.

Installing a Lada Priora short-stroke rocker yourself

To gain access to the lever, you must release the ball that blocks the engagement of reverse gear, which springs when engaged. Be careful! Do not pull the lever to get it released.

It is noticeable in the photo that the cardan rods are different in length. This problem can be solved by shortening the Kalinovsky rod, taking into account the type of short-stroke link. Sometimes the rod does not go in completely, so the gearbox lever moves towards the handbrake. If you need to shorten it, cut off 1-2 centimeters.

Installation process

Let's analyze the installation of the Priora short-stroke rocker with our own hands step by step.

First you need to pull the knob and cover off the box lever. The knob on the lever is not fixed, so it is enough to apply a certain force to remove it.

Using a key set to “13”, loosen the clamp and separate the gearbox lever rod from the cardan.

To release the lever, we release the ball from the spring mechanism, which is necessary to activate the reverse gear with locking. To do this, remove the locking ring.

It is strictly forbidden to sharply pull the lever upward when trying to release it.

Slowly, carefully remove the retaining ring.

We take out the spring and then the lever with the ball inserted into the plastic frame, as well as the locking ring.

The thrust should be installed through the interior. It's good if you have an assistant nearby. He will hold it by the elastic band in the cabin, at this time you need to stretch the traction.

Assembly is performed in reverse order

First, we put the rod on the cardan shaft.
Then you can begin assembling the reverse gear locking mechanism. Lubricate the spring ball.
Adjust the gearshift lever.
Tighten the clamp on the rod.

Adjusting the car rocker

The gearshift linkage can be subject to tuning, for example, replacing the standard linkage with a short-throw one. After such a replacement, you need to properly adjust the rocker , otherwise you may have problems engaging gears . If there is no assistant nearby, then adjusting the rocker may require time and patience. Repairing the rocker is another reason why reverse gear does not engage or 5th has disappeared. adjust the rocker with your own hands in several ways: 1. Adjusting the rocker in reverse gear .
We turn on the reverse speed, loosen the clamp on the rocker and put the lever where it should be when the reverse is engaged (so that the handle does not reach the driver's seat a little), tighten the clamp. 2. There are cases when it is not possible to engage reverse gear, then you can try
adjusting the rocker in first gear .
We engage 1st gear, loosen the rocker clamp, turn the rocker drive counterclockwise until the gear lever stops in the plastic reverse speed clamp, and tighten the clamp. The neutral position of the lever is adjusted by the depth of installation of the link on the cardan.

If you are used to using manuals from AvtoVAZ, then read this chapter.

Attention!

If you first assemble the reverse gear locking mechanism, the long rod will not allow you to put the rod on the cardan shaft. The problem can be solved by shortening it. It is important not to forget to put the boot on the driveshaft.

Adjust the reverse gear locking mechanism, since the consequence of adjusting the scenes is that the mechanism does not match the plate to which it clings. The problem can be solved by removing the plate and adjusting the hook (it is a cutout on the mounting bracket). You can sharpen it with sandpaper or a file.

To complete the procedure, you need to put on a manual transmission cover with a knob.

Adjusting and installing a short-stroke rocker on a Priora

Tuning does not always mean installing a new body kit or shortening the Priora springs.
Sometimes modernization helps improve driving comfort. An excellent example would be a short-throw rocker. VAZ owners know the “features” of the gear shift lever (GSL), which is not so easy to direct to the desired gear. The short-throw rocker on the Priora solves this problem, but we will tell you how to install it on the Priora and adjust it correctly. The instructions in our material are also relevant for motorists who want to know how to repair and replace a conventional rocker. The instructions describe in detail the process of dismantling and adjustment, which is carried out for a factory part according to exactly the same principle.

Self-adjustment of the rocker on a VAZ 2110. Adjustment of the gearbox rocker with your own hands

The gearbox linkage, like everything else in a car, requires care and timely adjustment. misadjusted gearbox linkage can cause discomfort while driving. For example, the gear knob may rattle, the gear shift may become inaccurate, the speeds may “knock out” from time to time, and the lever itself may begin to “play.”

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-throw rocker on a Lada Priora. and also in the article: Installing a short-throw rocker on a VAZ 2109. In addition, the issue of engaging gears and gearboxes is addressed in this article.
