GAZel: transmission and all its components

Today we will consider in detail the transmission of a GAZ truck ("GAZelle"). Let's give a classification of its individual elements, we will understand all the main nodes and talk about which oil to choose. "GAZelle", the transmission of which is a very important component, is the most common car on the Russian market. Therefore, this article is highly relevant and will be of interest to most motorists.

Transmission components

In the car "Gazelle" transmission consists of many components, which we will now talk in more detail.

• The clutch consists of a slave drive, a power-off drive, and a master cylinder that disengages the clutch.
• The transmission is an important part of the vehicle's transmission, because with it the car can move. To date, there are four variants of gearboxes, but we'll talk about this later.
• Cardan gear is a mechanism whose function is to transfer the torque between the shafts.

• Differential is a special device that distributes the power coming from the engine to other components of the transmission. In the car, one differential is installed if it is a single-wheel drive. But in the all-wheel-drive cars, there are three of them - two inter-wheel and one interaxle.
• The drive shaft and axle shafts are now installed on cars with front, rear and four-wheel drive. Since the semi-axles bear heavy loads, they are made of a durable alloy of metals.

In the car "GAZelle" the transmission consists of the gearbox, as it was mentioned above. We mentioned it indirectly, but now we'll talk in more detail, because this component deserves special attention.

All about the gearbox

In the car "GAZelle" the transmission can have different gears:

• Mechanical. This is a gearbox (gearbox) that is operated manually. The only drawback is that the gear teeth are rubbing excessively.
• Automatic. Using the "automatic" box, the speeds are automatically switched. Its minus is that it contains planetary mechanisms.

• Robotic. The control in this gearbox is mechanical, and it can be adapted to any style of driving. This gearbox is notable for its small size and reliability.
• Variational. Cars equipped with such a CP appeared recently. In such a machine, the gear changes smoothly. Another plus car equipped with a variator is that it is very easy to manage.

Choice of oil

Let's look at what oils in the transmission ("GAZelle") fill the best. Here is the list of the best:

• Magnum 75W-80.
• Castrol 75W-140.
• Total 75W-80.

In view of the fact that mineral oils are present in these oils, they have the best effect on the transmission of the "Gazelle".
