In the course of operation of the vehicle, sometimes there is a need for adjusting the clutch drive. This is because gradually the pedal move changes due to the natural wear of the rubbing elements of the clutch (the surface of the flywheel, leading and slave discs) or pulling its cable.

The need to adjust the clutch drive may appear as a result of previous incorrect adjustment. In any case, the clutch move must be adjusted, and it is not necessary to contact the specialists at all - you can perform this procedure yourself, having certain knowledge and a minimum set of tools. About this further in the article.

Clutch what it is and how it works

Imagine a vehicle in which the motor is directly connected to the gearbox. Do you think, got the car and drove? No. The car will start touching the scenes, switching the transmission will not be possible, and when the engine stops, you will have to drown completely. After such a ride, the box will serve no more than three days, and the resource of the power unit as a result of overloads will be reduced several times. Avoiding such consequences helps grip.

His destination - smoothly attach the engine flywheel to the primary gearbox when driving from place and when switching gear. In other words, the clutch is a torque switch.

How does the clutch work? Currently the most common is constantly included, dry one-piece clutch. Its principle of operation lies in tight compression between the surfaces of the flywheel, the pressure surface of the "basket" and the clutch disk linings.

VAZ clutch device

The main components of the clutch on the VAZ car are:

1. Fork for shutdown.
2. Flywheel.
3. Slave and push discs.
4. Casing.
5. Carter.
6. Release bearing.
7. Cable leashes.

Signs of the need to adjust the clutch

The most obvious features that talk about the need to perform the adjustment of the clutch are foreign sounds appearing when squeezing pedals, transmission transmission problems, partial clutch inclusion, bad thrust and so on. Often you can fix the situation by adjusting the pedal.

The clutch does not work as it affects the car

The big stroke of the pedal entails the fact that the clutch turns off only partially, and the clutch disc in any case comes into contact with the flywheel of the power unit. The small passage of the pedal does not fully include the slave disk and there is a slip, that is, the loss of torque.

The course of pedals, what pedal course is considered the norm

Ideally, pedal should be 160 millimeters. If there are deviations from the norm, it is necessary to adjust the clutch.

tools, fixtures, consumables

To adjust the clutch on VAZ cars, such tools will be required:

1. Horn keys on 17 millimeters (2 pieces).
2. Roulette or ruler.

preparatory work

1. Fix the car (down under the wheels stops).
2. Remove the AKB (you can not shoot, however, it is more convenient to carry out work with the battery paved).
3. Press the clutch pedal several times.

checking the working stroke

1. Before checking the working move, slide back the rug, which is located on the floor of the vehicle for more accurate readings.
2. Measure with a roulette or ruler distance from the floor of the vehicle to the lowest edge of the pedal. It should be about 18-20 centimeters.
   
3. Hand click on the clutch pedal until the stop and measure the distance from the floor to the lowest edge of the pedal. It should turn out 6-7 centimeters.
   
4. Then it is necessary from 18-20 subtractions 6-7, it turns out 13-14 centimeters, which is the norm. If the pedal move differs in a smaller or most side, adjust the clutch drive.

adjusting the clutch drive

1. Adjusting the drive nut is located in the motor compartment on the shell of the drive cable, which is inserted into a special bracket, which is fixed on the CATER CARTER. Loading, located in the same place, protects it from turning.
   
2. Holding the adjusting nut with one key to 17 millimeters, with the help of another key release a lock nut into several revolutions.
   
3. Rotate the adjusting nut counterclockwise with one key, another holding a locknut - to reduce the course of the clutch pedal (the pedal will go down) or in a clockwise arrow to increase its stroke (the pedal will rise).
   
4. Tighten the lock nut.
5. Press the clutch pedal several times and check again. If the data obtained does not put normal, it is necessary to adjust once again.
6. When the adjustment is over, tighten the lock nut.

Tips Prof.

If the clutch is adjusted correctly, its pedal must be located approximately at the same level with the brake pedal.
