Now it’s time for a new blog, in which I want to tell you how to move the lever to four speed gearbox
This is done for convenience and a short stroke of the lever. In my case, the move remained the same, maybe a little less. But the convenience has increased significantly =)
This can be done either using a bolted connection or by welding. You will learn everything during the story =)
You need to buy the following:
1. Gear shift mechanism 2108 (I got it at a discount for 300 rubles)
2. Backstage cardan 2108 (170 rubles)
3. Bolt for cardan (8 rubles)
4. M6 bolts 5 pieces + washers + nuts (30 rubles)
You can see that this is not a costly business! Also, one of the positive aspects is that you don’t have to remove the box, everything is done from the interior.
So, we unscrew the plastic thing, remove the lever (by picking out the plastic circle from it), and unscrew the slide.
A spring will prevent us from removing it, returning the lever back
At first I grabbed it and secured it like this:
But this turned out to be a little pointless, since during subsequent adjustments I would have to remove and pull out the slide often, so I simply pulled out this spring.
After you have taken out the drawstring, you need to modify it as follows:
This is done so that the reverse gear is engaged without recessing; it will be automatically retracted when the lever is shifted to the right.
The picture shows an ideal cut, I didn’t get it very well, but everything works just the same
We also file down the lever and make an incision (2-3 millimeters) with a grinder as shown in the photo
It is done in the place where the bolt of the cardan will rest against the lever so that it does not jump off (drawn schematically, look at the place where to cut). That's all with the scenes)
Now a little work with the cardan itself.
Since it does not bend fully at 90 degrees, I had to make it bend
Then I removed the backlash by hammering in thin metal plates
Operations with the cardan are completed)
Then we position the gearshift lever as conveniently as possible, for me this place turned out to be like this:
I screwed everything back on from inside the car, so I didn’t have to crawl under the car.
We measure how many tubes need to be cut and cut them.
At the beginning, I decided not to resort to welding, to do everything with bolts. I found a suitable tube. In stores there is also a suitable tube called something like a traction finger. This one will fit better, although it will need to be sharpened in length, since it is a little thicker than necessary. If you decide to do it with bolts, then you need to drill everything very carefully so that there are no backlashes later and use a non-hollow tube as a connector!
And be sure to drill a hole and insert a bolt where the tube connects to the cardan, no clamp will hold it.
Also, the “U” shaped end, which is attached to the new lever, is not quite “U” shaped, it will also need to be slightly bent, in fact you will see and understand)
As a result, after driving, the connection became loose, since, apparently, the connecting tube was hollow. If it were solid and the holes were more precise, I think everything would work. So I brewed it. It turned out both with bolts and welding =) Double protection)
After driving a little, the cardan will most likely start to creak a little and everything that can creak)) So I removed this rubber band + lubricated the cardan + where the lever rotates. Now nothing creaks.
Finally, I decided to glue it with vibration and heat and noise insulation for pipes, so that I could hear less switching sounds:
The interior is still a mess, but by the season I’ll make everything better than it was!)
I'll probably answer some frequently asked questions.
1.Why the cardan 2108? Why not from viburnum? And not from the classic steering shaft? The driveshaft from the viburnum bends only 130 degrees instead of the required 90; there is no way to modify it so that it bends 90. I couldn't find the steering shaft driveshaft anywhere. So the best option turned out to be 2108, although it required so many modifications.
2.Is it reliable? At first I didn’t make a slot on the rocker arm for the cardan bolt and the following happened:
Because it was overstretched. Now the new cardan is holding up and working perfectly and is not losing its position yet!
3.Will the lever dangle without a return spring? Actually, I wanted to leave it, I thought it would be inconvenient. But as it turned out, everything works fine without it, the lever does not dangle due to the resistance of the structure, so to speak.
4. We cut off the limiter so that the rear gear is engaged without sinking, will we accidentally engage the reverse gear while driving? The answer is no. Firstly, 4th gear is much closer than reverse gear is engaged. Secondly, try to turn on the rear at least while moving 10 km/h, you will get nothing but terrible sounds, so it’s better not to try)
5.What needs to be done to have a short stroke? Just attach the “P” pattern higher. The higher you fix it, the shorter the gears will be, but it will take more effort to engage.
6.If I have a 5-mortar. What will change? Everything is much simpler here, you go to the store, buy a Chevy Niva rocker link, unscrew the original one and screw on the Chevy Niva one. The operations with the backstage described here will not concern you)
That seems to be all)

And of course to the readers for their support and comments)
Added 11/11/2012! I converted the system to a driveshaft from a Subaru Impreza, and it also turned out to be short due to the upward displacement!

Issue price: 600 rubles
The VAZ 2107 gear shift lever is used to enable the driver to control the car, which is possible using a gearbox. The gearbox, in turn, is a mechanism inside which there are gears of different diameters. This device is the link between the engine and the drive wheels of the car. For rear-wheel drive cars, which is the VAZ 2107, the manual transmission is typically located under the lever itself. To connect the lever to the gearbox, no additional link is required, as is typical for front-wheel drive car models. The VAZ 2107 rocker is presented in the form of a small half-bent tube onto which the gearshift lever itself is placed. In the material we will pay attention to the question of how to replace it, as well as the features of dismantling.
The gearshift lever of the VAZ 2107 is located directly in the car's interior. It is used to be able to change gears while moving. The gear lever fails only in rare cases, and the reason for this is negligence towards the product. If the product fails, it must be replaced. But before replacing, it is necessary to remove the product in question. We’ll find out in more detail how to remove it, as well as replace it on the “seven”.
On the “seven” the gear shift knob has a common problem - rattling and chattering. If you fix such a malfunction using improvised means, then replacing the device will not be necessary. Before you begin replacing the device, you will need to find out the exact causes of the malfunction. After all, sometimes not only the part in question can “fail,” but also the gearbox or clutch.
If you are convinced that it is the gearshift lever that is faulty, then only then should you start replacing it.
Replacement features
Before you begin the replacement, you need to stock up on tools such as wrenches and a screwdriver. We start with the following steps:
Many motorists replace the standard gear shift levers with more modern ones, which allows them to uniquely customize the interior of the Seven.
After the standard product is dismantled, we install a new handle in its place. Let's look at what the installation is.
Installing the device on a VAZ 2107
After the standard mechanism has been removed, you will need to remove the rubber bushing from it, if it remains inside. To remove the bushing, you need to use a screwdriver or hook. By prying the sleeve, we remove it from the device, as shown in the photo above.
If you plan to install a standard product in place, then it is advisable to replace the bushing by purchasing a repair kit in advance. When choosing a repair kit, preference should be given to products manufactured by VAZ. The installation process is similar to removing the device. Initially, a rubber bushing is installed, recessing it into the device. Following the bushing, it is necessary to install a rubber band in the form of a washer, which softens the control of the mechanism. Next, you need to install a plastic lock inside the mechanism, due to which the device is fixed to the gearbox “scene”. The assembly is completed by installing the locking sleeve, which had to be moved down at the initial stage in order to dismantle the gearbox lever.
Once the product is ready for installation, you will need to insert it into the drawstring. To do this, you should initially lubricate the slide, and then hit the mechanism handle well with your hand until you feel that the lever has settled into place. This is how the installation of both new and old mechanisms, which were dismantled to replace component parts, is carried out.
Self-tuning of the handle
Some drivers are not satisfied with the quality of repair kits for installation, and they came up with a kind of tuning of the gearbox handle itself: to reduce rattling and vibration going to the shift handle, instead of standard plastic bushings and rubber bands, they insert a piece of hose that fits the outer and inner diameters. This upgrade also allows for easier future installation of the handle.
Additionally, you can make the gear shifting process more convenient by slightly reducing the length of the standard handle. To do this, you need to remove the lever, cut it with a hacksaw to 5-6 cm in length and cut a thread at the end, the same as it was on the cut piece (if you wish, you don’t have to cut the thread). These upgrades are advisory in nature and have their pros and cons. Each driver decides for himself whether to produce them or not.
When choosing products for foreign cars, you should make sure that it can be reliably installed on the VAZ-2107. Otherwise, an incorrectly secured mechanism will lead to an emergency situation while driving.
As you know, the gearbox is the main, and most importantly, irreplaceable link between the engine and the wheels of the car, because it is only because of it that the nature of the torque changes.
Video of the gearshift lever rattling on a VAZ-2114
What gearbox is installed on the VAZ-2114?
Since the VAZ-2114 is equipped with a mechanical gearbox, the driver personally selects which gear to engage at what point in time (by changing the position of the driven gear relative to the driving gear - approx.), thereby ensuring the correct position of the lever in the cabin. However, during operation it happens that the handle begins to rattle, causing only discomfort to the car owner.
Below, in our article, we will look at the main causes of this problem, as well as ways to fix them.
Gearbox device
Diagram of the gear selection mechanism with decoding
First of all, before we undertake the repair or alteration of the gearshift knob, we need to learn more about its design (figure out where it comes from and how dangerous it is for the operation of the car as a whole - approx.), and also become familiar with its main elements.
It’s no secret that the VAZ-2114 is a front-wheel drive car, with front drive wheels; accordingly, the gearbox itself is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the car (this means that the “box” lever does not enter the cabin directly from its body, but through the rocker – approx.) . The same cannot be said about representatives of the “classic” AvtoVAZ family, where the rattling of the gearbox lever may indicate problems with the transmission itself.
The handle on the VAZ-2114 works somewhat differently, using special rods that help the car enthusiast change gears with the greatest comfort. However, among this lie small shortcomings of the creators, which over time lead to the rattling of the handle.
Causes of gearbox bouncing
- The connection bushing is the wrong size.
- The handle gasket is missing.
- Inconsistency of parts that border each other.
All of the above problems can be caused by one small metal bushing that connects the rods under the lever. Therefore, rattling of the handle may appear due to the appearance of a gap in it, or poor contact between two connections. All this leads to impacts of the bushing against the metal of the body, which contributes to the appearance of noise and rattling of the handle.
This is what the old bushing looks like.
On some VAZ-2114 models, such connections were wrapped with a rubber gasket to avoid such malfunctions.
Removing the gearshift lever
Before you begin dismantling the handle, you need to carefully examine the entire space next to it and understand how it comes apart. There is nothing complicated about this, the main thing is to follow our instructions exactly:
- If there are additional armrests and other elements installed independently, we dismantle them so as not to damage them during the work.
- Carefully remove the casing (plastic or leather - approx.) so as not to tear or break it.
Dismantling should be carried out carefully so as not to break anything.
- Now that all the interior decoration is visible, let's move directly to the backstage. To do this, using a key set to “13”, unscrew the nut securing the lever.
If the lever does not budge, you can treat the surface with WD-40.
- After this, you can dismantle the lever with the same bushing, and carry out work to eliminate rattling and vibration.
The old bushing is marked with a red marker.
Vibration Elimination Process
After you have the bushing with the lever in your hands, carefully inspect it visually for visible damage and signs of wear. Because if they are available, you may have to buy the same spare element, so that a little later you won’t have to do the work of dismantling, repairing and adjusting it.
The new bushing looks much better
The procedure for repair work with the bushing
conclusions
Thanks to such simple and simple procedures, vibrations and rattling of the gearbox lever can be eliminated in no more than half an hour of your time, and the result of the work performed will please you for a much longer time.
On cars VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 If unpleasant rattling, vibration and increased play in the gearshift knob appear, the lucky owners of these vehicles should pay attention to the condition ball joint races gear shift links or as it is also called in common people gear shift pad. There is another option - butterfly backstage. But, I personally like the second option))). Due to the fault of this very pillow (ball joint cage) being completely broken, the clarity of gear shifting may also disappear. Yes, I know that all the listed symptoms also include a broken cardan (joint) of the gear selection rod. What kind of cardan is this and how to replace it you can find out from this article. But we’re not talking about him now and let’s assume that everything is ok with him. Or, as another option, the cardan was replaced, but the rattling and play of the rocker did not disappear. This also happens; not everyone immediately pays attention to the backstage cushion. But, it exists and it periodically fails (breakage of rubber “ears”, flying out of metal bushings, breaking of a plastic bushing or spring). The destruction of the rubber part of the cushion (ball joint race) of the rocker is not difficult to replace (see photos 1 and 15). And if you find them, then it’s time for you to get ready for work. Let me reassure you right away, it’s not complicated. But for everything to go smoothly, you need to be thoroughly prepared. That is, buy the necessary spare parts, decide on the location of the work, assemble the necessary tools and, of course, familiarize yourself with and remember in what sequence you should replace the cushion (ball joint race) of the gear shift lever on VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ- 2112. And I will try to help you with this, and I invite you to further read this material.
List of tools which you will need for replacing the cushion (ball joint race) of the gearshift gates of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars: 13-socket and socket wrench, 10-size combination wrench, pliers, flat-head screwdriver and small ratchet with a cross socket (photos 3 and 4). The need for a ratchet with an attachment will be shown a little later. And you should immediately decide on the location of the work. It is advisable to replace the cushion in an inspection pit, overpass or lift. Why is it desirable? Because this work can be done “from the ground”, but believe me, it will take more time and effort. And it will still be a pleasure.
And so, into battle! Let's proceed to independently replacing the cushion (ball joint cage) of the gearshift mechanism of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112:
1. Let's start working inside the car. Use a screwdriver to pry up the frame of the decorative cover of the gearshift slide (photo 5). Pull the lever handle up and remove it along with the cover.
2. Using a 10mm spanner, unscrew the two fastening nuts and the bolt of the reverse lock bracket lining and remove it (photos 6 and 7).
3. Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the lever axle nut (photo 8). After this, use a wrench with an attachment (in my case it’s a ratchet) to unscrew the axle locking screw (photo 9). Without such a key, this screw will be difficult to unscrew. We take out the axle (photo 10). We remove the set of bushings from the lever, otherwise we risk losing them (photo 11). All. Now the work inside the car is finished, let's climb under the car.
4. Using a 13 mm socket wrench, unscrew the two nuts of the rocker pad bracket (photo 12). And remove the bracket.
6. Pull down the pillow along with the lever (photos 14 and 15). Remove the retaining ring (photo 16) and remove the lever along with the plastic bushing (photos 17 and 18).
7. That's it. We clean the lever hinge from dirt, lubricate it, and put on a plastic bushing. We place this whole thing in the pillow body and secure it with a locking ring (photos 19 and 20). We return this entire structure to its place (photo 21). Don't forget to put a cover on the pillow (photo 22).
Ready. We carry out the rest of the assembly in reverse order. The work on replacing the butterfly cushion (ball joint cage) of the gearshift gates of VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 cars has been completed. I hope it’s successful))).

When driving a car, the VAZ 2107 gear shift lever is needed in order to be able to vary the speed using the gearbox. Like any part of a car, it is susceptible to malfunctions, so this article is about how to remove the gearbox lever of a VAZ 2107 and, if necessary, repair or replace it.
The lever itself is a short segment coming out of the switching mechanism (in everyday life a rocker), and its continuation with a knob is called a rod. If it loosens too much, it can lead to difficult gear shifting or it may simply fly off the lever. Such consequences usually result when gear shifting is difficult for some reason, or the damper spacer sleeve has simply become loose over time, or the problem is in the rocker.
Location and device
The VAZ gearshift lever is located in the vehicle interior to the right of the driver. It is attached to the rocker arm using bushings. It does not break down often, but it still has to be removed in cases, for example, when the gearbox needs to be removed.
Lever and gear shift mechanism
How to dismantle the gearbox lever of a VAZ 2107
If you had problems with play in the bushings, then you need to purchase a repair kit for the VAZ 2107 gearbox handle in advance and after dismantling it.
Before starting work, prepare a screwdriver.
|
|
Before reinstalling, fully assemble the rod and bushings, slide it onto the lever, and push down sharply to seat it in place.
If you need to completely replace the rocker, then add a 10mm wrench to the screwdriver (preferably a socket or socket):
- remove the decorative panel;
- unscrew the boot;
- use a 10mm key to unscrew the mechanism;
- remove it from the box.
After repair or replacement, assembly is performed in the reverse order.
The quality of bushing repair kits leaves much to be desired and the backlash of the rod remains quite large, so some, instead of plastic and rubber bushings, simply select a simple hose according to size and attach it to it.
Lever tuning
The gear lever is located on the “seven” somewhat poorly, some believe that it is too long, others stretch far, and a general remark when turning on the reverse gear is added to the main ones, that we hit our hand on the passenger’s knee.
Some select levers from foreign cars that are suitable in size and secure them. The second, and easiest, thing to do when upgrading the handle yourself is to simply make it shorter. To do this, the lever rod is sawed off to 5 - 7 cm in length and the thread is re-cut.
The most radical way of tuning is to move the lever closer to the driver and reduce its travel when changing gears. It looks, when brought to its logical conclusion, solidly.
Read more about this procedure on the website.
The above tuning of the lever makes the interior of your car unique, but do not forget about driving safety because the given examples have their pros and cons, and it’s up to you to decide whether to do them or not.
