Removal and installation of the gearbox

Servicing the gearbox assumes that the mechanism will have to be removed and its position changed. Before doing this, you need to install the vehicle itself on the lift. The ignition must be turned off completely and the parking brake must be used.

How to repair a gearbox? To do this, disconnect the minus terminal from the battery. The hood must be opened completely. Any manual on gearbox repairs writes about this.

The oil filler cap is also removed. It is necessary to install the previous item after the screen is removed. The gearbox requires loosening the clamp responsible for fixing it.

How to assemble and disassemble a gearbox on a Lada Kalina

When the ignition is turned off and the car is locked, disconnect the battery by first removing the negative and then the positive terminal. From the box there are plugs with wires for the reverse lights, a locking solenoid and a speed sensor. They also need to be disabled. Don't forget to disconnect the starter.

Many experienced car enthusiasts eventually need to remove the transmission from the car. This usually happens when there is some kind of malfunction, or with high mileage, when the gearbox needs to be rebuilt or a new transmission needs to be installed. Let's look at how to properly remove the box on a Kalina, why it is needed and what safety measures need to be followed.

Repair, features and technical specifications

Inside a VAZ 21118 car, like any other, there is always a gearbox. For a model such as Kalina 1118, this device is a mechanical type design, which is equipped with one reverse stage, as well as 5 forward stages.

Gearbox from Lada Kalina.

In Lada Kalina, the gearbox is structurally combined with a differential, the main gear. Transmission differential repair should also take this into account.

The mechanism body of the VAZ Kalina car is presented in the form of three aluminum copper crankcases:

Special sealants are applied between them when assembling and repairing the gearbox.

How to remove the gearbox

To remove the gearbox from a Lada Kalina car, you need to be able to hang the car. A lift is best, but an overpass or a pit in a garage will do. You will need a set of tools in the form of keys, sockets, flathead screwdrivers, and pliers. Since the oil will have to be drained, you need a container for used oil with a volume of 4-5 liters, new oil and gloves. The box itself is quite heavy, ask someone to help you.

Transmission removal technique close up

If you are an experienced motorist, removing the box on a Kalina will not be difficult for you. The main thing is to follow safety precautions and instructions.

Hanging the car

First, drive the car onto a pit, lift or overpass, then secure it with the handbrake and put the car in gear. It doesn't hurt to put something under the wheels to prevent the car from rolling. Check if it is securely fastened. If it rolls away, it can cause serious injury and expense if it becomes damaged.

Replacing the release bearing Kalina 2, 1118, Cross, Sport

To make a replacement you will need to put your car on a pit or a lift. Repairs are also possible if you have reliable supports and a jack. It is worth noting that without a pit or lift, the replacement method without removing the box, which is described at the end of the article, is suitable.

Important to know: For work, it is best to use a set of sockets with a ratchet. When directly dismantling the manual transmission, ask someone to help you “pull” it off. To replace the VP without removing the box, you will need two studs with a diameter of 10 mm and a length of 30-35 mm.
