Install the retaining ring of the secondary shaft ball bearing into the groove of the rear housing, if it was removed.

Install the 5th gear and rear synchronizer sliding clutch on the secondary shaft about travel to the reverse position.

Place the input shaft onto the secondary shaft so that the bulk rollers do not fall out. At the same time, make sure that the protrusions of the blocking ring on the input shaft fit into the grooves of the 3rd and 4th gear synchronizer hub.

Connect the secondary shaft assembly with the primary one, with the gear block and the axis of the reverse intermediate gear, engaging the corresponding gears.

For ease of further installation, you can tie the resulting set with a rope. You can knit the set with soft knitting wire, as shown in the figure.

Install the rear part of the crankcase in a vertical position in a vice

Disassembly and assembly of the GAZ-3110 gearbox

Insert a set of shafts into the rear part of the crankcase, open the retaining ring and press the ball bearings of the secondary shaft and gear block into the seats on the rear part of the crankcase, applying force alternately to the end of the 1st gear gear of the secondary shaft and the end of the intermediate shaft until until the retaining ring presses against the outer race of the ball bearing.

After this, carry out final pressing until the locking ring is seated simultaneously in the groove of the rear part of the crankcase and in the groove of the bearing. (Figure 27 shows the release of the retaining ring. The bolts are inserted to prevent the retainers from falling out. They can be removed to keep them out of the way.)

Install the axis of the reverse intermediate gear into the seat on the rear of the crankcase and tighten the fastening bolt without tightening it.

Install the rear part of the gearbox housing in a horizontal position.

Insert the shift forks of the corresponding gears into the grooves of the sliding clutches of the synchronizers.

Install locking plungers between the holes for the rods of the 3rd and 4th, 1st and 2nd and 5th gears, as well as reverse gear.

To install the plungers, it is recommended to use a mandrel and a bit, but to do this you will have to remove the plug and install a new one after installation. Therefore, it is easier to try to insert the plungers without a mandrel.

Disassembly and assembly of the GAZ-3110 gearbox

Install the locking pin into the hole of the 3rd and 4th gear shift rod.

Install the 3rd and 4th gear shift rod into the crankcase hole and the 3rd and 4th gear shift fork head. Secure the fork to the rod with a locking bolt.

Install the 1st and 2nd gear shift rod into the crankcase hole and the 1st and 2nd gear shift fork head. Secure the fork to the rod with a locking bolt.

Install the locking plunger as far as it will go into the 3rd and 4th gear shift rod.

Assemble the 5th gear and reverse shift rod if it has been disassembled.

Insert the rod into the hole in the crankcase and the hole in the 5th gear and reverse fork.

Secure the fork to the rod with a locking bolt.

When installing the rod, you must pay attention to the correct installation of the locking sleeve spring (one end must be inserted into the hole in the wall of the rear crankcase, and the other must be inserted into the recess of the locking sleeve so that the locking sleeve mustache is pressed against the head of the 5th shift rod gear and reverse).

Set the 5th gear and reverse shift rod to the neutral position.

Install the balls and springs of the clamps into the corresponding holes.

Install the rod clamp plate with the gasket in place and tighten the two bolts securing the plate.

If, during the repair of the gearbox, either one of the gearbox housings or the gear block (or its parts) was replaced, then it is necessary to determine the size of the thickness of the adjusting rings 24 in order to ensure the required axial clearance of the gear block.

After this, install a package of adjusting rings selected according to the required thickness into the ball bearing seat on the front of the crankcase.

Install the rear part of the crankcase with the shafts in a vertical position in a vice.

Install the paronite gasket.

Install the front part of the crankcase, aligning the corresponding holes with the mounting sleeves kami, and press it onto the ball bearings of the input shaft and gear block, hitting the bosses of the front part of the crankcase with a soft metal hammer.

In this case, the input shaft must be pulled upward.

Tighten ten bolts securing the front and rear crankcases evenly diagonally with a torque of 14-18 Nm (1.4-1.8 kgcm).

It should be taken into account that the two upper bolts are longer (size M8—6gx35), the remaining eight bolts are size M8—6gx30.

Install the retaining ring into the groove of the input shaft ball bearing.

Disassembly and assembly of the GAZ-3110 gearbox

If the input shaft oil seal has been replaced, it must be pressed into the bearing cap until it stops using a mandrel.

Install the bearing cover with a gasket and tighten the three fastening bolts with a torque of 14-18 Nm (1.4-1.8 kgcm).

Insert the bolt securing the reverse intermediate gear axle into the front crankcase and finally tighten both bolts securing the axle to a torque of 44-56 Nm (4.4-5.6 kgcm).

Wrap the breather and reverse light switch with a gasket into the front crankcase.

Install the speedometer drive with the stopper into the crankcase and tighten the bolt securing the stopper.

Screw in the oil filler plug.

Install the gear shift lever housing with the gasket and tighten the four fastening bolts with a torque of 14-18 Nm (1.4-1.8 kgcm).

Lubricate the clutch release bearing guide sleeve with transmission oil.

Install the foam gasket on the guide bushing, having first lubricated the bushing with transmission oil.

Install the release bearing with clutch onto the guide sleeve.

Recommendations:

Before installing the front part of the transmission housing, you need to make sure that the forks are installed correctly.

Disassembly and assembly of the GAZ-3110 gearbox

To do this, tighten the gear shift housing with two diagonal bolts. We look at the picture to see that the body is positioned correctly. And we try how we turn on all the speeds.

When turning on, slightly tighten the drive shaft. It is best to do this with an assistant.

When connecting the front and rear housings, do not forget to clean the mating surfaces from old gaskets, and before connecting, coat them with a thin layer of sealant.

Disassembly and assembly of the GAZ-3110 gearbox

Forks of the old type and the new one (with crackers (inserts)) are interchangeable.

When tightening ten bolts connecting the housings, you need to tighten all the bolts, and then tighten them diagonally.

Install the gear shift lever cover without the lever itself. When installing, move it “backwards” a little so that the pin falls into place and moves the spring.

Then we install the lever itself and tighten the cap by hand, before that we put a little Litol lubricant in the rocker mechanism.
