Parallel imports from Europe are gradually shifting the focus from premium cars to a more mass segment, the lion’s share of which, according to the old European custom, is equipped with a manual transmission – in the Old World the “mixer” is extremely popular and much cheaper than automatic transmission . But she has some qualities that we have already forgotten. Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.
The golden years, when “Russians opt for automatic transmission” and “eighty percent of new cars are automatic”, are already over, don’t be ashamed of the truth. Now we choose from a fairly limited list what we can afford. And of this list of cars, a significant part is equipped with a mechanical transmission: the same relatively new Skoda and Renault brought from Europe are largely “mechanical”, as well as domestic models, which, as we know, are not rich in lay -out with two pedals.
Europeans are extremely careful with money, they know how to count it and often prefer a cheaper manual gearbox, but the “automatic” UAZ has not even reached the level of a two-pedal LADA. Simply put, we should drive a mechanic if we have less than one and a half million rubles in our pocket. And these drivers are the majority.
Attacks of sarcasm about “switching” can be ignored, but only on one condition – if everything is switched on calmly and accurately. And the Mitsubishi Lancer editors have a hard time with the former: each press of the clutch pedal announces the interior with a persistent creaking, emitted on both the outward and return journey. Forums write about a malfunction of the release bearing, hidden and incurable ailments, the need to disassemble everything and other terrible things. But the problem is much closer to the surface, and its solution takes no time and does not require additional money.
Wise advice was given by one of the netizens, who recommended that the first thing to do was to “turn to comments” to the clutch fork and stem. In our case, it’s easy to get to them – just remove the “trunk” from the air filter. It is not for nothing that the Japanese are so popular in Russia – many operations can and should be carried out independently, without the intervention of additional specialists and without wasting time visiting gas stations. Moreover, you often do not even need to go to an auto parts store: a can of WD-40, which solves 80% of car problems, can be found in every Russian trunk.
So, after removing the “extra details”, we remove the boot from the stock – by the way, it is completely whole and elastic, just as 18 years have not passed in Moscow salts – and we sprinkle it abundantly with healing chemistry in the intestines . For the complex completion of the task you will need an assistant – you need to press the clutch pedal so that the fluid goes deeper and lubricates all surfaces. We do the same with the fork – we insert the WD-40 pipe into the structure and irrigate it abundantly under the chords of the coupling being squeezed out. Oddly enough, only half an hour of physical education did their job.
Lancer stopped moaning and creaking and the pedal got much softer. How much liquid was needed? To be honest, a lot: they didn’t take care of it, but the result – and a very impressive result – has been achieved. “Lancer”, who spent many years in the hands of the “rider” – repaired, because he broke, and not a cent more – is reborn before our eyes. It will be a comfortable, everyday car, easily giving opportunities in terms of comfort and dynamics to the same “Koreans”. Indeed, the Japanese do things that even our domestic approach to vehicle operation cannot spoil.
