Causes and repair of a failing clutch pedal in a VAZ-2110


This is a fairly popular model of the domestic concern. It is distinguished by its versatility, reliability on various types of roads and inexpensive price. The technical characteristics of the car indicate that it is a five-seater vehicle, with an engine in the front and front-wheel drive. In popular usage this model is called the “tenth” or “tenth”. The clutch here is single-plate, dry with a diaphragm spring. The drive is driven by a special cable.

Most often, problems are observed if the cable is torn, then the pedal can not only fall to the floor, it completely refuses to work. It is much more unclear what this phenomenon means if the cable is intact, but a malfunction still occurs. In general, there are a lot of reasons for this, since the clutch is one of the most vulnerable points of a VAZ car, not only of the tenth model, but also of any other.

The clutch pedal on a VAZ-2110 has failed, what should I do?

Breakdown is different, each one manifests itself differently. One can fray your nerves for years, disappearing and appearing again, while the second appears instantly and at the most inopportune moment. One of these is the failure of the clutch pedal on the VAZ-2110. The case, of course, is unpleasant, but far from fatal. In most cases, every motorist will be able to restore the clutch's functionality with his own hands; the main thing is to know the reasons and what to do.

What to do if the gear shift mechanism does not work?

If the clutch pedal fails on a road with heavy traffic, you should not be nervous, but act calmly with a “cool head” and get to the nearest parking spot, or even better, to a garage or service station. To do this, you can use a tug, tow truck, or drive yourself.

How to drive independently if the clutch system breaks down?


You can use the following tips from proven car enthusiasts:

You can also drive to the repair site with a VAZ2106 or VAZ2107 car without a clutch, engaging second gear in the same way when starting to drive. Only in this case it is necessary to take into account some important nuances:

  • the car should be either on a horizontal section or on a downhill slope, but not uphill. If the car goes uphill, then this method will not work; Before you start driving, you need to warm up the engine;
  • Since the car will move in a lower gear no higher than second, you should carefully think through the route so that you do not have to stop at intersections, giving way or at traffic lights. If possible, take the main road and pull at the green light to avoid getting caught;
  • it is necessary to check: whether the alarm system is turned on;
  • It is important to remember that other road users do not know about your problem, so you need to maneuver less. If you don’t have time, it’s better to stop the car and then do this procedure again;
  • when you don’t have confidence in your abilities, the optimal solution would be to call a tow truck or tug.


In VAZ cars with a rear-wheel drive wheel pair, the clutch mechanism is a separate hydromechanical unit that interacts between the power plants and the transmission.

Why and where do the pedals on the VAZ-2110 fail?

Tens clutch diagram. There was nothing new for those times!

Of course, everyone who drives a VAZ-2110 knows the structure of the single-plate dry clutch mechanism and its drive. As on all inexpensive cars, the simplest clutch is not activated hydraulically, but mechanically: we press pedal 9, the pedal pulls the cable, the cable drives the fork 4, and the fork pushes the release bearing 13, which acts on the blades of the pressure plate 6 The release disk is removed from the driven disk 7, the clutch is disengaged.

If at least one of the elements of this chain loses its properties (strength, elasticity, integrity), the pedal simply falls to the floor or the clutch does not disengage, partially or completely.

Let's look at the most common faults typical for machines of the tenth family.

Clutch release fork

The clutch fork either bends or cracks the lever, or the legs wear out at the points of contact with the bearing coupling.

It’s not for nothing that we started rating faults not with the cable, which would be more logical to assume, but with the fork. The design and materials of this element are chosen so poorly that some people manage to change 3 plugs in a year . The symptoms of a breakdown are simple - a sudden drop in the pedal to the floor. In this case, the fork sometimes does not break completely, but breaks, creating the illusion of a whole element.

Typical clutch fork failure.

It’s easy to calculate the breakdown - open the hood and move the fork with your hands.

If it dangles freely, cracks or breaks are visible, we get to a spare parts store, buy a new fork and replace it; to replace it, you will have to partially remove the gearbox. The price of a new fork is no more than 500 rubles, and they sell it according to the factory article number 21100-1601200 . There are also cheaper forks on sale from other manufacturers, and there are reinforced designs that are more expensive.

How to get to the service station

Clutches for Kamaz

Unfortunately, equipment does not always fail near your home or service station. It happens that the clutch fails somewhere on the highway, and the nearest service station is several kilometers away. It is irrational to push the car in such a situation, so you have to use other methods.

Follow a simple algorithm:

  • Engage first gear (at this moment release the gas pedal).
  • Turn the key in the ignition. At the moment when the engine starts to “pick up”, add gas. Proceed carefully so that the car does not stall.
  • Continue driving at 1st speed. Don't try to engage second gear without using the clutch, especially if you don't have the skills, although it is possible. Incorrect activation may result in unit failure.

Before following the tips mentioned, do the following:

  • Park the car on a slope or at least a straight road so that the vehicle does not roll back.
  • Warm up the engine before driving.
  • Plan your route in advance. It is desirable that you have to deal with fewer traffic lights and intersections along the way.
  • Turn on the emergency lights.
  • Make as few movements to the left or right as possible.

If you have determined why the clutch pedal has failed, but you cannot fix the problem on the road and you cannot move off in first (second) speed, call a tow truck or stop the car, ready to tow the car to a garage (service station). Good luck on the roads and of course no breakdowns.

Imagine a situation where you are calmly going about your business and suddenly there is a click and the clutch pedal falls to the floor or when pressed it begins to rest against something. The first thought is that you are left without a clutch, and without it you can’t even engage a gear. It's right. But let's not panic, but let's figure out what could be the matter and how to move on.

Usually, shortly before a breakdown, the clutch pedal becomes stiffer, you have to exert more force to press it than before - this is the surest sign of an imminent breakdown of the clutch, or rather one of its component mechanisms.

To determine the breakdown, let's start with what kind of clutch it is. It can be cable or hydraulic. In the first, pressing the pedal activates the cable; in the second, when pressing the pedal, energy is transferred to the hydraulic clutch system.

This happened to me several times - analysis will show because:

1. In the first case there was a fork. 2. in the second release. 3. In the third, the basket burst.

When replacing, I recommend taking a new factory brake disc and riveting Niva pads onto it - you’ll like it
