How to adjust the clutch

We are glad to welcome all courageous owners of automobiles of domestic production and not only. Probably, few of you may argue that when everything works in the favorite "swallow" as an hour - the soul is just rejoicing. And how fast do we get used to comfort? But only a small deviation from the proper operation of one of the pedals, and the person immediately feels some kind of discomfort. Not rare similar deviations concern that the clutch pedals. On how to adjust the clutch and return the car former well-being today and let's talk. After all, this operation will not require any special skill skills or special tools, so why not try to do everything with your own hands.

Symptomatics of incorrectly adjusted clutch

It is necessary to think about adjusting the clutch in the event that when pressing a clutch pedal is fixed significant backlash. In addition, the complete absence of a backlash (oddly enough) speaks about the gripping clutch. On average, the free stroke of the clutch pedal lies in the range from 0.4 to 2 mm, if your measurements are deflected in one of the sides, it means that it is time to take measures and take for regulation of the system.

Also to beat the Nabat in the event that the free movement between the pusher and the clutch fork is either gone at all, or exceeds a value of 5 mm (in the picture it is a white and green arrow, respectively). Verification of free move is not difficult at all. To do this, take up the plug as demonstrated in the image, and smoke from side to the side of the part.

About the wrong adjusted clutch you will tell you the behavior and the car itself at the time of decreasing or increasing the transfer, as well as at the beginning of the movement. So, when you just start moving on the vehicle, extraneous noise and shocks in the switching box may occur. Also, when starting with a knocked clutch, jerks are observed, and the pedal can fall. All of the above suggests that it is time to adjust the clutch.

At home, each car owner is able to perform the following independent diagnostics of clutch adjustment. To do this, it is enough to sit in the car, to start it, and try to try very smoothly from the scene. If the machine begins to touch, as soon as the clutch pedal rises up - this is a sign that the free course of which we talked above is absent. And if the car rows at the time of the full lift of the pedal, then everything says that the free move exceeds the permissible value.

Well, finally, you can use the usual school line. Using it, you need to measure the distance from the bottom of the machine to the lining of rubber on the pedal. With properly adjusted clutch, this distance should be 160 mm. If the reading exceeds the norm or it turned out to be read further.

Clutch adjustment on classic

Before making you climb under the hood of the car, tell you how to adjust the free course of the clutch pedal from the salon. The fact is that the pedal itself provides a simple mechanism, thanks to which this adjustment does not take much time and forces. At the base of the pedal is the bracket with the pusher, where there are in turn bolts. With their help, we will regulate free move.

Here you will need two wrench. One need to hold the limiter, the second is gently lit the lock nut on one or two turns (depending on the error of the free stroke). Next, the limiter is tightened and check the work. If the necessary results are not achieved in the end, you need to repeat the operation.

Of course, in the cabin it is much more pleasant than under the hood of a vehicle near the mud. But the clutch can be adjusted using the pusher. It has a spring that connects the clutch shutdown plug with the pusher cylinder body. It is necessary to remove this spring through the pliers, which will interfere with checking the free stroke.

We will use the help of the line, or rather the corner. It needs to be overtaken in a solid surface and lean the work plane so that the clutch plug streak can be measured. To do this, press in one finger to the plug until you stop and fix the position on the line. Then then smooth the plug and measure 4-5 mm of free stroke. It is in this position that it must be in all standards.

By the way, the cylinder itself is almost under the bottom of the car. Often, autodes have to suffer with unscrewing nuts, as those while in such difficult conditions, mainly bind to so much that they are then very difficult to rip off. We advise you to take advantage of the means as WD-40, which will greatly facilitate you and work, and life.

Here work is carried out in a similar way, as in the case of adjusting the free move in the car's cabin. Those. Also take two wrench, and, holding the adjusting nut, weire the control. Next, you will need "Cobra" ticks. With their help, you will need to hold the pusher so that it does not check when you start to boost the second control nut. Not releasing the ticks, we turn the adjusting nut until the correct free clutch is set. Well, that's all, you can proceed to check.

Adjusting the clutch on the prior

We briefly told you on how to adjust the clutch on the VAZ 2107. However, for a complete picture, let's look at how to adjust the clutch on the prior. For convenience, we write down all the steps:

  1. Open the hood;
  2. Turn off the air flow sensor and dismantle the air filter;
  3. We are looking for a cable with a plastic clamp, move it in the direction of the car and measure the distance between the fork and the clip;
  4. If it is less than 27 mm, or more, by turning the tip, we adjust until the distance is 27 mm.
  5. After the garden, the cable in the plug, sit down in the car and squeeze the pedal three times, after which I perform measurements again;
  6. If necessary, repeat the operation.
