Possible malfunctions of the GAZ-2705 clutch and ways to eliminate them

- Cause of malfunction

Remedy

Incomplete disengagement of the clutch - the clutch “drives” (the gears do not engage or engage with difficulty):

- When the engine is idling, the direct transmission is engaged and the clutch is disengaged, the secondary shaft of the gearbox should not rotate

To carry out the inspection, it is necessary to remove the cardan transmission and insert a separate sliding fork of the cardan transmission into the rear gearbox housing to prevent oil leakage

- Presence of air in the hydraulic clutch drive

Bleed the hydraulic system of the clutch drive, make sure that the movement of the fork end is at least 14 mm

- Jamming of the driven disk hub on the splines of the input shaft

Eliminate jamming on the splines (clean the splines)

- Warping of the driven disk

Replace the driven disk or straighten it

- Non-simultaneous pressing of the clutch release bearing onto the clutch release levers

Adjust the relative position of the ends of the clutch release levers

Incomplete engagement of the clutch - the clutch slips (a specific smell is felt, the acceleration of the car deteriorates, the speed drops, it is difficult to overcome an incline):

- Loosening the pressure springs

Replace the springs with new ones

- Oiling the friction linings of the driven disk

Replace the driven disk or friction linings.

In case of slight oiling, wash the surface of the linings with kerosene and clean with fine sandpaper

- Excessive wear of friction linings (up to rivets), working surfaces of the flywheel and pressure plate

Replace friction linings or driven disk

Replace the flywheel or pressure plate or eliminate burrs and ring marks on them by machining, taking into account the recommendations

- The compensation hole of the master cylinder is clogged or blocked by the edge of the cuff due to swelling of the cuff

Rinse the main cylinder with working fluid or replace the cuff

Clutch engagement is not smooth:

- Oiling the friction linings of the driven disk

Replace friction linings

- Wear of friction linings (to rivets)

Replace the driven disk or friction linings

- Jamming of the driven disk hub on the splines of the input shaft of the gearbox

Eliminate jamming on splines

- Non-simultaneous pressing of the clutch release bearing on the levers

Adjust the relative position of the levers

- Loss of elasticity of the plate springs of the driven disk

Replace the driven disk

- Sticking of the clutch release levers in the supports or pressure plate protrusions in the casing windows

Eliminate jamming (clean mating surfaces)

Vibrations and noises in the transmission when driving:

- Breakage or wear of parts of the driven disk damper device

Replace the driven disk assembly

- Wear of the friction washer or weakening of the friction damper pressure spring

Replace the friction washer or damper spring

“Squeaking” and noise in the clutch when the engine is running:

- Failure of the clutch release bearing

Replace the bearing. Check and restore the alignment of the clutch housing and crankshaft

Creak when pressing the clutch pedal with the engine not running:

- There is no lubrication or the plastic bushings of the clutch pedal axle are worn

Lubricate the plastic bushings with colloidal graphite preparation (OST 08-420-74) or replace worn bushings with new ones

The clutch disengages only when the pedal is pressed sharply. When pressed smoothly, the pedal easily reaches the stop, the clutch does not disengage:

- Contamination or excessive wear of the master cylinder mirror. Excessive wear of the master cylinder piston cuff

Rinse and if worn, replace the main cylinder. Replace the cuff

Reducing the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder reservoir:

- Wear or hardening of the working cylinder piston cuff - fluid leakage

Replace the cuff

- Violation of the tightness of the connection of the pipeline with the main and working cylinders - fluid leakage

Tighten the connecting nuts
