The Chevrolet Cruze car has been present on the domestic market for almost 10 years. During this time, it has established itself as a reliable vehicle, all parts and assemblies of which are manufactured and assembled by the manufacturer with high quality.
One of the most critical components of the Chevrolet Cruze is no exception - its manual gearbox (manual transmission). All atmospheric engines of this model are aggregated with such a box. Subject to the rules of use and routine maintenance established by the manufacturer, the service life of the Chevrolet Cruze manual transmission is commensurate with the service life of the car as a whole.
Under the operating conditions of the Chevrolet Cruze car on domestic roads, it is quite difficult to provide a gentle manual transmission mode. Therefore, there may be cases of breakdown, and not only due to its too frequent use, but also due to careless gear shifting with an aggressive driving style. In this case, a manual transmission malfunction may occur suddenly or its symptoms may appear gradually, as evidenced by increased noise in the engine area, difficult gear shifting, the presence of oil stains under the car, etc.
For this reason, only qualified specialists with extensive experience in performing such work should be engaged in its repair. Such repairmen will be able to eliminate a simple malfunction without removing the manual transmission from the car, but intervention in its work by a person who does not have sufficient skills can lead to an aggravation of the breakdown and the need for complex and expensive repairs.
On Chevrolet Cruze cars with atmospheric power units, a five-speed manual transmission of the D16 model is installed. It is made according to a two-shaft scheme and has five synchronized forward travel gears and one unsynchronized reverse gear. The Chevrolet Cruze manual transmission and the main gear have a common crankcase. In addition, the gearbox also has an additional intermediate crankcase, which is closed with a special cover.
The input shaft is pressed into the gear block and connected to the last splines. The following are installed on the secondary shaft:
The gear shifting mechanism is located in the cover, which is installed on top of the gearbox housing. A cable drive is used to control the box. The gearshift knob is brought into the Chevrolet Cruze saloon and through a tunnel in the base of the body floor is connected with cables to the gearshift levers.
All manual transmission malfunctions arising during the operation of the Chevrolet Cruze can be considered as:
The gearbox is also dismantled if gear shifting is difficult or impossible.
Maintenance of the manual transmission of the Chevrolet Cruze car comes down to regular checking the level of transmission oil in the box and visual inspection of the seals of the inner CV joints. If necessary, the gear oil is topped up, and the oil seals are removed and new ones are installed in their place. Carrying out these relatively simple procedures, the car owner can perform independently:
In this case, the dismantling of the manual transmission at the Chevrolet Cruze is not required.
The manufacturer recommends checking the transmission oil level in the Chevrolet Cruze manual transmission every 15 thousand kilometers. They control the oil level in the box body through a special hole. To do this, unscrew the plug that closes it. The surface of the oil should be at or slightly below the edge of the hole. If the oil cannot be reached with a finger or a screwdriver, then it must be topped up. Transmission oil is topped up through the hole located on top of the gearshift mechanism housing. It is also closed with a plug that will need to be unscrewed. A special syringe is used to fill the oil.
When pouring oil into the body of the Chevrolet Cruze manual transmission, all openings are closed with plugs.
The oil seals of the inner CV joints, if transmission oil leaks are detected, must be replaced.
To do this, the car is driven onto a lift (inspection hole) and the wheel drive is removed from the side of the leaking oil seal. Then the leaky oil seal is removed with a screwdriver and a new one is installed in its place using a mandrel of a suitable size. Having installed the oil seal, check the oil level in the box and add it (if necessary) to the set level. The process of replacing the oil seal is completed by installing all the removed parts in their places.
When operating a Chevrolet Cruze car, it is necessary to constantly monitor the operation of the manual transmission. There are a number of signs preceding the failure of the gearbox, when they appear, experts recommend visiting a service station and diagnosing it. These signs are:
Repair of the manual transmission of the Chevrolet Cruze car can be capital or partial. During a major overhaul, the manual transmission is dismantled and checked in full. After checking, all parts with increased wear must be replaced. In addition, all oil seals, gaskets, bearings, as well as the clutch assembly are changed.
Proceeding from the position that the work of replacing and repairing a gearbox on a Chevrolet Cruze is not an easy and time-consuming task, before starting dismantling it is necessary to make sure that the malfunction is associated with this unit. Let's consider the most common symptoms of automatic and manual transmissions malfunction.
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"
The reasons for this behavior are associated with natural wear and tear of parts and components, untimely maintenance and repair of the unit, non-compliance of the gear oil with the manufacturer's requirements.

Disconnect the electrical cables of the ignition coil.
Disconnect the connectors of the electrical wires supplying the crankshaft position and oxygen concentration sensors, the mounting bracket for which is located on the box body.
Disconnect the connectors of the cables going to the speed sensor and the reversing light switch.
We drain, through the appropriate drain holes, the coolant and transmission oil from the gearbox. In cases where disassembly is carried out in order to replace or repair the clutch, flywheel, there is no need to drain the oil from the box.
To access the upper fixing bolts of the gearbox, we disconnect the outlet hoses of the heating radiators and the cooling system.
Disconnect the starter power cable, the cable that feeds the traction relay and the cable going to ground. They are fixed to the body with nuts.
We unscrew two fastening nuts from the studs that fix the starter on the power plant, and remove the starter.
Disconnect the front wheel drives.
We pump out the working fluid from the clutch hydraulics section of the master brake cylinder reservoir.
Unscrew the clutch hydraulic hose fitting.
Disconnect the two shift lever cables.
Remove the front suspension subframe.
We install stable wooden stops under the crankcase of the power plant and the gearbox housing.
From below, unscrew the two nuts securing the box to the subframe, take out the bolts upward, and three bolts securing the box to the rear support bracket.
We remove the motor suspension support.
We unscrew the three bolts securing the left engine mount to the crankcase.
We do the same with the front engine mount.
We unscrew the fastening bolts of the gearbox housing. We start with the top two bolts, then move on to the bottom two left ones, the bolt next to the oil filter, and the four engine mounting bolts.
The box is free, you can remove it. To do this, we take it back as far as possible, thereby disengaging the input shaft and the clutch disc, remove the support, and lower the assembly down.
This algorithm is given for models equipped with a manual gearbox. The difference between dismantling the machine lies in the design features of the gear shift control drive, the sequence of these operations does not change. Installation is carried out in the reverse order, while the splines of the input shaft are lubricated with a grease, refractory grease.

Chevrolet Cruze. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF MANUAL GEARBOX - PART 1
The main malfunctions, for the elimination of which it is necessary to remove the manual transmission from the car:
- increased (compared to the usual) noise;
- Difficult gear shifting; spontaneous switching off or fuzzy switching on of gears;
- oil leakage through seals and gaskets.
In addition, the gearbox is removed to replace the clutch, flywheel, and rear oil seal of the engine crankshaft.
An automatic transmission is removed for almost the same reasons as a manual transmission, with the exception of the need to replace the clutch and flywheel, which in this case are absent. The techniques for removing and installing a manual and automatic transmission are almost the same and are described using the example of a manual transmission. The difference lies in the design of the transmission control drive.
The work on removing and installing the gearbox is very time consuming, so be sure to first make sure that its malfunctions are not caused by other reasons (insufficient oil level, defects in the clutch drive, loosening of the gearbox fastening, etc.).
The gearbox is quite heavy, and its shape is not comfortable to hold, therefore we recommend that you remove the gearbox with an assistant.
You will need: keys "12", "14", "19", pliers.
A five-speed manual (D16 models) or six-speed automatic (6T30 / 6T40 / 6T45 models) gearbox is installed on Chevrolet Cruze cars.
The manual transmission (Fig. 11, 12) is made according to a two-shaft scheme with five synchronized forward gears and one unsynchronized reverse gear.
The manual transmission and main gear with differential have a common housing, and in addition the gearbox has an additional intermediate housing and a cover. The input shaft is pressed into the gear block and connected to it by splines.

Rice. 12. Parts of gearbox D16
The forward gear pairs are in constant mesh. Gear wheels of I V gears in neutral position rotate freely on the output shaft.
Forward gears are activated by axial movement of the respective synchronizer couplings mounted on the output shaft. Reverse gear is activated by moving the reverse idler gear along its axis.
The gearshift mechanism is located in a cover mounted on top of the gearbox housing.
A cable-type mechanical gearbox control drive. The shift lever 1 (see Fig. 14) together with the bracket 2 is installed in the passenger compartment in the base of the body in the floor tunnel.The lever is connected to the levers 5 of the control unit on the gearbox by cables 3 and 4.

Oil change in the Chevrolet Cruze gearbox
Check the oil level in the manual transmission from time to time (but at least every 15,000 km). The design of the box does not provide for oil changes during the entire service life of the vehicle. However, sometimes the need to change the oil may arise, for example, when switching to oil of a different viscosity, during repairs, etc.
Fill the manual gearbox with SAE 80W GL-4 GM1940182 or SAE 75W-90 oil. The manufacturer recommends replacing the oil filled at the factory with SAE 75W gear oil if the vehicle is operated for a long time at an ambient temperature below -30 ° C.
Loosen the oil level plug located on the side of the crankcase and remove the plug. Place a container under the opening as excess oil may leak out.
Check the oil level. It should be at the edge of the hole or just below it (you can reach the surface of the oil with a screwdriver or finger).
If the oil level is too low, loosen and remove the oil filler plug located on the top of the shift housing.
The oil filler plug also acts as a breather. Therefore, check the cleanliness of the holes in it.
Pour oil with a syringe into the hole in the gear shift housing until it emerges from the control hole.
Install the inspection plug. Install the oil filler plug.
The oil drain plug is not provided in the design, therefore, if it is necessary to change the oil, place a container under the gearbox to drain the oil, unscrew the bolts of the lower cover and drain the oil. Remove the cover.
Remove the gasket from the cover and wipe the cover with a clean cloth to remove any residual oil. Replace the gasket with a new one each time the bottom cover is removed.
Install the bottom cover and fill with oil in the same way as when checking the oil level and adding oil.
Replacing the drive oil seals
Internal CV joint oil seals can be replaced without removing the gearbox from the vehicle.
The procedure for replacing the internal CV joint seals of a mechanical and automatic transmission is the same and is shown using the example of a manual transmission.
Place the vehicle on a viewing ditch or lift.
To replace the oil seal of the internal constant velocity joint, remove the wheel drive from the side of the oil seal being replaced.
Remove the oil seal with a screwdriver.
Lubricate the working edge of the oil seal with transmission grease and press it in with a mandrel of a suitable diameter with the working edge inside the box.
Install the removed parts in the reverse order of removal.
Check the level and, if necessary, add oil to the manual transmission (or working fluid in the automatic transmission).
The main malfunctions, for the elimination of which it is necessary to remove the unit from the car:
- increased (compared to the usual) noise;
- Difficult gear shifting;
- spontaneous switching off or fuzzy switching on of gears;
- oil leakage through seals and gaskets.
In addition, the gearbox is removed to replace the clutch, flywheel and rear oil seal of the engine crankshaft.
The automatic transmission is removed for almost the same reasons as the manual transmission, with the exception of the need to replace the clutch and flywheel, which in this case are absent.
Removal and installation techniques are almost the same and are described using the example of a manual transmission. The difference lies in the design of the control drive.
The work on removing and installing the gearbox is very time consuming, so be sure to first make sure that its malfunctions are not caused

Repair of the transmission (gearbox) of the Chevrolet Cruze can be major or partial. Repair of the box (manual transmission) of the Chevrolet Cruze must be done only after initial diagnostics at a car service. Very often, a third-party opinion that the box needs to be repaired turns out to be erroneous. It can also be caused by the clutch, flywheel, and gear selector.
We offer two options for repairing a transmission (manual transmission):
Partial (local) repair of the Chevrolet Cruze gearbox - we remove the box, disassemble it, wash and defect. Troubleshooting a box is determining the cause of its failure, indicating a specific malfunction. A list of spare parts for this malfunction is also provided. After agreement, we make repairs to eliminate the specific malfunction that the client has contacted. We do not touch the rest of the components and spare parts in the gearbox.
Overhaul of the Chevrolet Cruze checkpoint - as well as with partial repairs, the box is removed and completely disassembled, washed and defective. In this case, we are not looking for a specific cause of the breakdown, but we are doing a complete defect diagnosis. All units and spare parts with increased wear, all bearings, oil seals and gaskets are determined and changed.
Judging by the reviews of the owners of the Chevrolet Cruze, the imperfect design of the gear shift cable is a systemic problem in these cars. The thing is that over time, the fixing sleeves, which are made of plastic, wear out, and the fastening of the cable flies off. There are two ways to solve this problem, the first is to replace the entire cable with fasteners with a new one, and the second is to restore the worn out fasteners on your own. In current realities, the cost of a gearshift cable on a Chevrolet Cruze is approximately 3,500 - 5,000 rubles, which is not so cheap for such a part, plus everything you need to order and wait for delivery within 14 days.
First, you need to remove and disassemble the plastic retainer, which contains the worn out crackle. To do this, drill out a rivet, and then unscrew its lower part.
Now the most important thing, an alternative to the fixing crack on the Chevrolet Cruze gearshift cable can be an oil scraper cap from the VAZ 2108 engine, from which the side edges must be grinded off.
We carefully cut off the edges and insert the cap into the retainer body, while the spring does not need to be removed from it.
Next, we twist the lower part, while making sure that the rubber gasket is installed.
Lubricate the surface of the cap with graphite grease, and then connect the two halves of the retainer. Instead of a drilled rivet, you must use the most common self-tapping screw, which will make it easier to disassemble it and replace the sleeve in the future. Before screwing in, you need to unfold the gum, so it will be more convenient to twist the self-tapping screw.
Video (click to play).
As you can see, everything is simple, after such a repair you can be sure that the Chevrolet Cruze gearshift cable will not fly off. At the expense of how long the cap passes from the VAZ 2108, time will tell, at the moment the car has traveled 5000 km on the reanimated part. no problems found.
