- After a lot of work and a lot of detours I finally get the Lada Niva back together... just to discover something quite annoying....

The only thing worse than a repair taking way more time and effort as planned, is finding out it didn't fix anything. Including the setbacks in your vids just makes them that much more relatable! You got this!
Great video. I am sorry things didn’t quite work out but anyone who actually works on older vehicles, completely understands. Your channel is all the better for the honesty in the content. Working within the constraints of a budget, always translates to more wrench work and time. Completely normal. Cheers 🍻
Its part of the game! The good thing is that I enjoy the journey!
I know its over a year old now, but id have just checked and installed that 4s gearbox. Loving this series, im watching all your videos 😅.
Perseverance..... Definition, Seaside Garage.
Respect to you for having the patience to see these projects through.
I very much enjoy this... both the highs and lows... :)
I bought an 18 month old Niva in the 90s, in the next 5 years I replaced just about every bearing and rubber mount in the car. I found that the trick is to expect that everything you remove is going to be worn or broken, that way anything that isn't will come as a pleasant surprise. Keep up the great work!
Great job! It's all about the learning and discovering how things work 😀
Man I feel you. I have two lada niva one is my daily and on another I am going to full rebulid and I hate when something isnt going the way I wanted to, wish you all the best and hopefully your niva is soon on the road again!!
Yes it's always the parts switched between generations. I had the same fun with the 5th gear gear and the diferrent inside diameter.
4-speed gearbox best suited for 1.6 niva
good luck :)
In my experience with gears boxes especially old ones is the spring weakness or breaks in the selector housing that holds the gear in place.
Take a look at the selectors I think that's where your problem lies
That could very well be.... I was also suspecting engine/trans mount.. because its in the small movement when I let go of the throttle that kicks it out of fourth...
Hi Seppo another very enjoyable video on the Lada but you definitely need to persevere with that 5th gear mate because how will you ever know whether your radio is on or off if you use the 4 speed I can’t hear mine until I’m in 5th but that all adds to the character of the car. All the best from AU Richard 😂
Haha very true!
I have many Years ago an Fiat 124 Spider with such a Problem, it was the „Schaltgabel“ she was worn I welded up than I sandet the shifting fork, then the gear locked again Greetings Ed
Interesting! thanks!
Oh no, but I think you have a good plan on how to fix it!
Hi from Norway🇳🇴🛠
Hi Tore!
I've been told that the 4 speed is more reliable and resistant. The issue with noise can be adressed, I think. My Niva has a thick engine bay insulation and it is noticeably quieter than other Nivas I have driven, even with very worn out driveshafts and joints.
I'd be looking for a bent selector road, worn dogs and weak damaged ball detents on the shift rods. That's normally the root cause of gear jumping.
Thanks... I think I was blinded a bit about the fact that this is a common issue on the lada niva and its the thrust washer that is the culprit... But of course it can be so many things! I think you are on to something here, and I will look into it!
You need a daily driver and need to use the lift to work on other cars. It will be useful to know if the four speed gearbox is in working condition. Taking those factors into account, maybe fit the four speed gearbox. That will enable you to drive the Lada while you investigate the cause of the problem with the five speed gearbox and order parts. ☮️
this is going down to the route of a transmission rebuild. and I dont think this is necessarily bad
lets see! but it could be fun!
Here’s a video I found for fine tuning the transfer mounts to reduce vibrations. Might help a bit.
Thanks! cant see the link, but I think I saw the video.
НИВА лучшая машина!!!
It's always when you are short of money that these things require more parts 😭, just your luck....
You can now see why the convoy to kyiv was so slow
im 192 and its ok for me. :)
If you are interested just seen for sale in here uk £650 none runner
Try putting fine sawdust in it its an old and sketchy trick but it could do something idk
When I have the spare gearbox at hand, it could be fun to do some shade tree mechanic "hacks" on the old one!
@@SeasideGarage yea it could be a fun thing to do
Sounds like something inside the box has failed causing it to pop out of gear, which sucks given the work you did on trying to get it working again... :(
That's probably going to be selectors.
Thats next on the list.... But properly should have been the first... ;)
@@SeasideGarage I don't know about the Lada gearbox but a lot of the older gearboxes used to have a ballbearing under the selector , when the ballbearing had worn down it would fall out of it's seat and then it would jump out of gear , or it might be a chipped tooth on the gear itself . I don't know if this is the case with the Lada gearbox though. 10 out of 10 for your patience and enquiring mind to sort out this problem .
what a shame,, must be better to try keep a 5 speed i expect will lower the RMP so will use less fuel, am sure you will find problem,,at least it doesnt jump out of 5th gear
I think I will.... :)
Well what should I say? It is your own lack of interest not wanting to open up the gearbox itself. If you should have done that you would have find the problem(-s).
So know you have to replace the gearbox once, no, twice again, just replace the clutch parts you didn't replace thus far: what is good today can be worn out tomorrow. In other words: you might happily drive another three months and suddenly the clutch gets stuck. And then what? Then you have to get off the gearbox for a forth time!
Changing know is driving happily for the next 8 years or so.
Sorry to say but you are wasting your valuable time trying to fix that crap. Save all that money you are using in those worthless repairs and get a good used car.......
Hehe... its a bit like going on a fishing trip... It does not always make sense, but its not always the point... ;)
